- The war caused many deaths and lots of destruction. The Romans caught a break when the captured an enemy ship, stuck at low tide. The Romans were great builders. They set about immediately copying the ship until they had quite a few seaworthy. Still, they could not beat Carthage's navy. But they could keep the war going on land as well as se. The First Punic war ended when Carthage decided to end the fighting by giving Rome one of the three islands they wanted.

- Rome
- When Hannibal attacked one of these cities Rome used this as an excuse to declare war on Carthage. Rome was to rule northern Africa and Carthage was in their way. But Rome did not go after Hannibal in Iberia. They sent their main army to attack Carthage. Hannibal knew he had to do something to prevent the Romans from conquering Carthage, but what? He was in Iberia with his army. Rome was safe on the other side of the Alps, which were a very tall and steep set of mountains. Hannibal didn't let that stop him.

- The third Punic war started. The Romans and Carthage fought for several years but Rome was too strong. The Romans defeated Carthage again. This time Rome had had enough. They rounded up all the people of Carthage and sold them into slavery. They tore down every building in the city, then spread salt over all the farms and fields around where Carthage had been. Thus the land was no good for growing food. There was no longer a city of Carthage after they burned it to flames!
