Hannibal vs. Rome

During the Second Poeni War, Hannibal was a terror for the Roman Republic. Even in his campaign today I remember Hannibal's hatred against Rome is clearly visible on the battlefield. Everywhere in modern France and Italy he plowed and broke his opponent (even sometimes literally) under his army. However, Hannibal is not only a powerful general but also an excellent strategist and an attractive leader. These qualities, as well as his assigned position, will provide Hannibal with all the tools that will conquer Rome.

Hannibal's campaign is one of the most memorable and memorable events in history. The tactics used by Hannibal helped him to break Rome in a more favorable fight with Rome. Hannibal first met Roman in Trevia. Like his father, Hannibal uses guerrilla warfare. In this fight, Hannibal concealed the army and invited Romans to fight with other units. Weather conditions also played an important role in the victory of Hannibal. After the Romans began fighting, the hidden Carthaginian army hid around the Roman army. Of the 40,000 Roman forces, only 10,000 survived (de Beer 186-188).

At 211, Hannibal played against Roma the last time. There is a history of more than 600 years before foreign troops gather outside the city of Rome. Still, Hannibal can not be a long-range siege of this defended city. This action is only a relocation strategy that prevents Rome from traveling to Africa. In 209, Rome occupied most of Italy's cities and began to invade the territory of Islamaba's Carthage. However, Hannibal still hopes to win this war. The continuation of the war over the decade has destroyed the Italian economy. The allies of Rome are exhausted and long for peace. Even in Latin cities, Rome's most decisive ally refused to impose new taxes. And he insisted that nobody stayed in their town.

In 219 BC, Hannibal encircled the coastal city Saguntham in northeast Isparta and signed a treaty of friendship with Rome for many years. However, in 226 BC, the Hasdruvar fair signed a treaty with Rome and acknowledged that Cartago dominated Isparta in the south of the Ibro. Therefore, the status of Saguntham is not clear: is it alliance of Rome or is the district of Carthage? When the besieged Saguntines appealed to Rome, Rome forced the people of Carthage to accept an alliance with Saguntum. The Romans tried to solve the crisis through negotiations, but Hannibal occupied the city after the siege of eight months. When Cartago refused the Roman's request for handing over Hannibal, the two sides prepared for the war.

Both Carthage and Rome were watching war with a strategic environment wider than Hannibal. Carthagin is aimed at protecting Iberia and restoring the territory of Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily, but Rome may try to maintain the profits earned during the first Punic war and possibly take over Iberia. I failed in the previous war. Rome clearly recognized the strategic intent of Carthago. Two of the eleven regiments deployed after Hannibal arrived in Italy were sent to Iberia, two were sent to Sardinia, and two of Sicily, Philip invaded Macedonia V To prevent it, it was sent to Tarantam Port (present taranto). Only four corps placed in Italy to welcome Hannibal invasion
