Today in Western Civilization class some people presented their project on Rome today.  The presentations were on the three Punic wars, Julius Caesar, and a jeopardy review game.  My group's presentation is about the three Punic wars.  Rome ended up winning all three wars, and the first was fought because Rome was getting nervous about thew growing Carthage and they wanted control of Sicily.  The Second war Hannibal tried to fool the Romans and go the long way to invade Rome, even though he lost half his men and all his elephants, he still went on in his journey.  He entered Italy and almost won, but was never able to take over Rome.  The Third Punic War consisted of Rome wanting to eliminate Carthage as a thereat for forever, they burned their cities, and just absolutely demolished Carthage.
