Punic Wars
The Punic Wars were a series of military engagements between the ascendant Roman Republic and the former Phoenician colony of Carthage, in what is now Tunisia. The Wars were notable for the Carthaginian General Hannibal's Crossing over the Alps with elephants in the Second Punic War and for Rome's complete razing of Carthage in the Third Punic War.

What was a result of the Punic Wars for Rome?
The Result of the First Punic War was that Rome took over the Carthaginian possessions in western Sicily and had control over the Syracuse and the other Greek city-states in eastern and southern Sicily. Soon after the war Rome took advantage of a rebellion by Carthage's mercenaries to also seize Corsica and Sardinia from Carthage.
The terms of the peace treaty provided that Carthage had to evacuate Sicily, some small islands west of it (Aegadian Islands) and all of the small islands between Sicily and Africa (Pantelleria, Linosa, Lampedusa, Lampione and Malta), return their prisoners of war without ransom, while paying heavy ransom on their own, refrain from attacking Syracuse and her allies, and pay a 2,200 talent (66 tons) of silver indemnity in ten annual instalments, plus an indemnity of 1,000 talents (30 tons) immediately
The Result of the Second Pubic War was that Rome took over the Carthaginian possessions in southern Spain. Carthage also lost her ally (the Numidians of next door Algeria) who defected to Rome. The peace treaty sanctioned the demilitarisation of Carthage, reduced her fleet to only ten ships (to ward off pirates) and imposed annual payments of 10,000 talents of silver for fifty years as war indemnity. Carthage's foreign policy had to be subject to Rome's approval.
The result of the Third Punic War was that Rome destroyed Carthage, enslaves 50,000 Carthaginians and took over the city's remaining territories: Tunisia and western Libya (Tripolitania).

Why did the romans treat Carthage with such brutality afer the third punic war?
Rome sought to permanently cripple any Carthaginian potential to once again recover and become a competitor for commercial interests throughout the Mediterranean thus leaving Rome as the sole power in the region . Rome's punitive measures assured Rome that Carthage would never again be a future problem to Rome .
Why did Hannibal continue to fight against Rome?
He had no other choice. In 220 BC Rome and Karthago were the two most powerful states in the Mediterranean competing with each other in economic and cultural terms.
The opening situation was clear: One of them had to leave the map.
Now let us see what happened:
Hannibal wins the Battle of Cannae on 02.08. 216 with his army of 50.000 men against Consul Terentius Varro and his army of 79.000 men. Initial Roman success of the front line is followed by Karthagian embrace of the Roman wings, the final attack on the Roman troops from the back nearly wipes out the entire Roman army.
Due to this victory Hannibal threatens the Roman position in Italy and manages to conquer various Roman strongholds in southern Italy. Supported by Philip V. of Macedonia and Syracuse he could unleash the general war against Rome. The geographic extension of this war however dilutes the Karthagian military power.
After Cannae Karthago was too strong to be acceptable for Rome, it had become a threat for the Roman Empire. In 204 BC the Roman Senate agrees to the plan to wipe out Karthago, in 202 BC Roman General Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Major (235-183) beats Hannibal in the Battle of Zama on African ground.
The rest is history. Hannibal finally takes refuge and exile at the court of King Prusias of Bithynia and poisons himself after Prusias was asked by Rome to deliver his prominent guest and only hours before a Roman legion going after him could take him prisoner.
Unbeaten by Rome he died in 182 BC.

What new kind of warfare did Hannibal use against Rome?
Rather than wait for Rome to attack Carthage, he took the war to Rome and invaded Italy, where he set about gaining allies from the territories disgruntled with Rome's rule of them. He did not have a seige train so could not capture the city, so he kept to the countryside, fighting battles when the factors were in his favour, and keeping Rome on the defensive for fifteen years and leaving Carthage itsel alone.
The Romans eventually copied this and invaded north Africa, rallied Africal states to them and threatened Carthage. Hannibal was recalled to defend the city and was overwhelmed at Zama 202 BCE.
What change occurred as a result of the Punic War?
The farmers who made up the Roman army dwindled in numbers, so that by the time of the Germanic invasion, there were insufficient to repel them and it became necessary to recruit the non-propertied class. After discharge they had no farm to return to, so they had to rely on their generals to get them land or jobs, which empowered the generals and led to the civil wars.
What happend between the second in third Punic wars Carthage?
During the second punic war Hannibal invaded Italy from Spain whilst Rome invaded Spain from Italy. Hannibal proved himself to be the superior general in battles against the Romans, especially at the battle of Cannae (216BC) when he decisively defeated a major Roman army using strategic tactics. Romans then employed fabian tactics against Hannibal so he stayed mainly in the South of Rome where loyalty to Rome was not as strong and he had a better chance of garnering support. The Carthaginians held their position in Spain until P. Cornelius Scipio took a Roman army over there and captured New Carthage. Hannibal's brother then abandoned Spain to help Hannibal but was unsuccessful. So Hannibal basically just trashed the south of Italy until 202BC. In 205BC Scipio was elected consul and led a campaign in north Africa against the Carthaginians in 204BC. The Carthaginians sued for peace in 203BC but when Hannibal returned in 202BC he convinced them to break their peace agreements. Hannibal and Scipio faced each other in the battle of Zama and Hannibal was defeated. Scipio earned the nickname 'Africanus' for winning this battle.
Why did Hannibal chose elephants over horses to attack rome?
Elephants were the then equivalent of the Tank on a modern battlefield. Unfortunately for Hannibal he lost most of his elephants in crossing the Alps so they were not a factor in his success.
The Romans then developed tactics to neutralise elephants and even turn them around against their users. They were never a major factor in wars in Europe against the Romans when used by the Carthaginians and later on by the Greeks.
