Detailed explanation-1: -Punic Wars, also called Carthaginian Wars, (264–146 bce), a series of three wars between the Roman Republic and the Carthaginian (Punic) empire, resulting in the destruction of Carthage, the enslavement of its population, and Roman hegemony over the western Mediterranean.
Detailed explanation-2: -All three wars were won by Rome, which subsequently emerged as the greatest military power in the Mediterranean Sea. The enmity of Carthage impelled Rome to build up its large army and to create a strong navy. The great military leaders of the war for Carthage were Hamilcar Barca and his sons Hasdrubal and Hannibal.
Detailed explanation-3: -The First Punic War was fought to establish control over the strategic islands of Corsica and Sicily.
Detailed explanation-4: -The First Punic War was a conflict between Rome and Carthage. This was a long war, beginning in 264 BC and not ending until 241 BC. Most of the conflict took place on the island of Sicily, or in the waters surrounding Sicily. At one point Rome attacked Carthaginian lands in Africa, very close to Carthage itself.
