Today in Western Civilization Class my group presented our PowerPoint on The Three Punic wars.  My group was me Garrett and Anthony.  The First Punic War started because Rome was worried about how powerful Carthage was getting and also wanted full control over Sicily and Corsica, which Carthage had control of at the time.  The second Punic War happened when Hannibal invaded Rome and tried to destroy it.  Instead of attacking from the ocean he attacked from the long way around.  He was never able to get to Rome but destroyed many cities in Italy.    The third Punic War happened when Rome just wanted to destroy Carthage fully and never worry about them again and destroyed them completely,
