Punic Wars

After the First Punic War, Rome took over the Carthaginian territories in western Sicily and controlled the whole of Sicily and the small islands around it. She also took advantage of Carthage having to deal with a rebellion of her mercenaries to also seize , Sardinia and Corsica from Carthage.

In the Second Punic War, Rome took over the Carthaginian territories in southern Spain after defeating the Carthaginians there. Carthage also lost the support of their allies and next door neighbours, the Numidians of Algeria, who defected to Rome. At this point Rome dominated the western basin of the Mediterranean.

In the Third Punic War, Rome destroyed Carthage and took over her remaining territories, Tunisia, her homeland, and western Libya.

In the Punic Wars, Rome and its allies fought Carthage and its allies.

Rome defeated Carthage, took possession of Sicily, and laid conditions on Carthage to restrict its intervention in the Western Mediterranean. Shortly after, in putting down mercenary revolts in Sardinia and Corsica, Rome also assumed control of them.

They were probably taken as slaves or killed

The Peloponnesian War 431-404 BCE was in Greece between two alliances of city-states - the Athenian empire and The Peloponnesian League of cities in the Peloponnese Peninsula led by Sparta. Athens lost and was stripped of its empire.

The Punic Wars were three wars between Carthage and Rome between 264 and 146 BCE in western Europe. Carthage lost all three, its city was razed and its people sold into slavery.

yes and no they did like the trade but that wasn't the reason they fought them. They fought them for control. THey liked their power and they wanted to control over the known world.

Scipio Africanus was born on June 20, 236 BC.

Carthage

Rome defeated Carthage after three wars and to terminate it, sold its people into slavery and established a colony of retired Roman soldiers on the site. It became dominant in the Western Mediterranean.

Rome had also turned on Macedonia to punish it for assisting Carthage in the second war, so beginning its expansion into Eastern Europe.

There were three Punic Wars. They were fought basically between Carthage and Rome. There were others involved - Macedonia, Spain, Italy, Sicily, Illyria, North Africa.

The First Punic war ended because the Romans won the naval Battle of the Aegate Islands. The war had left both the Carthaginian and Roman states exhausted financially and unable to build another fleet. However, Rome managed to raise a fleet for this last battle through donations by rich Roman citizens. Most of Carthage's last fleet was destroyed in this battle and she could not build another one, leaving Rome in control of the seas. This meant that Hamilcar Barca's land forces in Sicily were cut off and could not be resupplied. Hamilcar had to negotiate peace.

The Battle of Zama came first. It was the last battle of the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage and took lace in 202 BC. The destruction of Carthage was the outcome of the Third Punic War and occurred in 146 BC.

Some ancient historians wrote that Hannibal had a wife named Similce. She is believed to have given him a son, but there is no record of his name.

The Romans , throughout the Punic Wars (264 to 146 BC) , fought against Carthage (Notably Hannibal.) for hegemony in the Mediterranean . The Romans persevered over their Carthaginians opponents and , at the end , razed the city of Carthage and it's citizens were sold into slavery .

See relevant link below .

The Third Punic War ended with the complete destruction of Carthage. The city was destroyed, and the survivors were sold into slavery by the Romans.

Rome itself was secure as Hannibal did not have a siege train to capture it.

it became a contest to keeping its allies from going over to Hannibal and so maintaining a source of food and soldiers to replace the losses. Rome was able to maintain this, Hannibal was frustrated and Rome launched an attack on the Carthaginian homeland which resulted in his recall from Italy to defend it. Strategy - Hannibal attacking Rome at its heartland, responded to by a similar attack by Rome at his heartland.

Hannibal

They had none - Rome had isolated Carthage.

If Hannibal would have won the Battle of Zama, this would not have made a big difference to the outcome of the Second Punic War. Hannibal's campaign in Italy had already come to a dead end. He has already lost two main cities in the south of Italy which had allied with him (Capua) or conquered by him (Tarentum). He had been further weakened by the Roman legions and got stuck in southern Italy. The army of his brother (Hasdrubal) which was bringing reinforcements and siege machines from Spain, had been destroyed in central Italy. As a result, Hannibal withdrew to the easily defensible mountains of Calabria (the toe of Italy). Scipio's Afircanus' victory against the Carthaginians in southern Spain led to the loss of the Carthaginian territories there (which were Hannibal's power base), which mean that Hannibal could no longer hope for further reinforcements from there. Hannibal had been confined to Calabria for four years. The point of Scipio Africanus taking the war to Africa (Tunisia), Carthage's homeland, was to force Hannibal to leave Italy. Carthage recalled Hannibal to Africa to to defend the city. Therefore, even if Scipio had lost the Battle of Zama, he would have still achieved his objective of getting Hannibal out of Italy. He would have probably just returned to Sicily.

When Rome finally captured Carthage in 246 BCE the city was destroyed including its monuments and the population sold into slavery to prevent the Carthaginians ever again becoming a threat to Rome. A few years later retiring Roman legionaries were settled on the site and the city and new temples were rebuilt by them.

The wars against Carthage spread over 120 years, so they both had many leaders in that time.
