The Second Punic War arose from Carthages move to contol more territory in Spain, which clashed with Rome's attempts to expand its influence there. Carthage invaded Italy and put Rome on the defensive. It was eventually ended by Rome invading North Africa and captured Carthage.

What is the tree diagram for tossing 2 coins?

A tree diagram for tossing two coins starts with a single branch for the first coin, which has two outcomes: Heads (H) and Tails (T). Each of these outcomes then branches into two more outcomes for the second coin, resulting in four total combinations: HH (both heads), HT (first head, second tail), TH (first tail, second head), and TT (both tails). This visual representation helps to illustrate all possible outcomes from the two coin tosses.
