Which term surrender eventually led to the third Punic War?
The excuse that Rome used to declare war was the fact that Carthage raised an army to defend herself against territorial encroachments by the Numidians, their next door neighbours, without consulting Rome. Under the terms of the peace treaty Carthage was demilitarised and she was not allowed to raise an army without Rome's consent. Carthage thought that when she finished paying a 50-year war indemnity to Rome she had fulfilled the peace treaty and was free form it. There was a political faction in Rome which wanted to destroy Carthage to eliminate this rival because she had recovered economically after the second war. They were worried about Carthage's economic resurgence.
What was the reason for the third punic war?
The underlying cause was the determination of Rome to dispose of the threat which it percieved from Carthage, against which it had already won two wars. The official cause was violation of the peace treaty from the Second Punic War which made the Roman Senate arbitrator of all border disputes involving Carthage, so that Carthage had to get approval from the Roman Senate before going to war. Rome then used its ally Numidia as proxy to harrass Carthage, which eventually had to defend itself. This gave Rome a valid excuse to declare war and destroy Carthage, extablishing Rome as undisputed power in the western Mediterranean. Rate This Answer
