To be fair, the Punic Wars forced Rome to develop its military capabilities. It wasn’t until after Carthage that Rome was powerful enough to basically run through everyone else in the Mediterranean
Technically it should've beaten Rome in the first two punic wars if it wasn't the complete mismanagement by their senate. First punic war they disbanded their navy and Hannibal literally beat every Roman army he faced in Italy but Carthage didn't want to send reinforcement because they were afraid he would become too powerful. So they chose complete annhiliation over Hannbal being their leader. So...I am giving Carthage zero credit. They got what they deserved.

Successful sieges of Rome sized cities are long, expensive, unpredictable, and rarely successful (look at the difficulty of conquering Carthage for Rome in the third Punic War).
@@benlewis5312 Yeah, once they beat Gaul and Carthage their dominace in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East was unquestioned. Only empire that could sort of match em was Parthia and later on the Sassanids was definitely an equal rival to Rome.
For those interested in the end of Carthage, there is an amazing and extremely accurate BBC docu-series "Ancient Rome: the Rise and Fall of an Empire". One of the episodes tells the life of Tiberius Gracchus, played by James d'Arcy, and how he became the first Roman to enter the City. They did a great job depicting the destruction of Rome's nemesis.
"Enjoy your prosperous glory, Romans, as, one day, your doom will finally come... and it shall bear the name of Carthage..." *Last words of Hannibal Barca*
At the fall of the empire, the Vandals took Carthage from Rome, made it the capital of the Vandalic kingdom, and then raided the Italian peninsula all the time sailing from Carthage. Hannibal was laughing from his grave the entire time.
The reason carthage lost the punic wars was because they had no will. Rome was willing to lose 200k+ soldiers have their lands sacked and still never gave in. Carthage loses one battle on their territory and instantly gives in to rome. Carthage had hannibal, but Rome had an unbreakable resolve. Which is the strongest characteristic of all humanity. You can have intelligence, you can have talent. But if you dont have resolve you will lose.
Ah, yes Cato the Elder... every time he delivered a speech at the Roman senate, no matter the subject matter of the speech or what year it was, he would always end the speech with "Furthermore, I consider that Carthage must be destroyed" yeah like, imagine him going like "The price of bread at the market is too high! We need to fix this problem, I propose we increase the production of wheat. That is all. Oh, yeah, one more thing. We should really destroy Carthage." "How does that fix the problem with the bread shortage?" "It doesn't. I just really, really, REALLY hate Carthage."
@@jonathanvillanueva9206 Well, thats one of the problems, there were reinforcements trying to reach him, but Rome blocked the attempts, one example is Battle of the Metaurus. Another problem was Hannibal and his army. They could defeat any Roman army but still didnt manage to land the killing blow despite spending like 13 years in the peninsula. Hannibal didnt have enough seige experience and his plan to make Rome's allies abandon them failed. Reinforcements would put more pressure for sure, but would it change anything? Even after the losses at lake Trebia, Trasimene, Cannae and many more Rome still had the ability to recruit enough soldiers to follow Hannibal and take back towns, stop reinforcements at their borders and invade hispania, later north Africa. These are just some of the huge problems Hannibal would face, even if he had full control of Carhage.
@@johnadams7480 Unlikely. The reason Rome expanded so much is not present in Cartage, that being a warrior spirit that knows not defeat. The the Roman Republic only ever suffered setback it was never beaten because its people simply did not accept defeat and would rase legion uppon legion till any enemy was defeated.
Carthaginian girl from "Barbarians": THE ROMANS MURDERED MY FAMILY!!! Germanicus: Oh, yeah? For being 150 years old, you look pretty good, to tell you the truth..."
They really wanna portray North Africans as blacks so they forget that Cartage was Phoenician from modern Lebanon. Such shame for woke Afrocentrics Netflix that Numidians and ancient Libyans ain’t black 😢
Wow. Even in Ancient Rome rulers saw the importance of keeping enemies alive to keep your people in fear and United. But our politicians today would never do that! There’s not a single politician anywhere that doesn’t think that way. It just makes too much sense.
-"Carthage does not need to end up destroyed. Let's try to not make this personal." -"Everything got personal the moment you set foot in Rome..." *Conversation between Hannibal and Scipio Africanus*
Debates between Roman senators at this time always ended with the phrase "Carthago delenda est". The world was too tiny for the existence of Rome and Carthage and therefore Carthage needed to be eradicated. Roma victor!
Cato was paranoid and convinced the Senate to fight Carthage, and in a way was something that Rome wanted to do from a long time. But it wasn't like you said.
Just another case of a greedy, imperialistic Rome preying on a neighbor. They could’ve accepted negotiations and annexed Carthage like they would eventually anyway, instead they chose slaughter.
6:15 it can be argued that Scipio Aemilianus, not Tiberius Gracchus, was the one who truly ignited what we now call the Roman Revolution. It was Aemilianus first leveraged his popularity with the people to oppose the Senate.

I feel as if this could have gone a lot differently if the Roman’s intervened at Numidia then allowed Carthage to trade again might have boosted their relationship. But it still was wise to destroy the ever hating empire that was already ripping itself apart with all the policies, put the creature out of its misery.
@@cristhianramirez6939 change your tone and I’d be happy to. I’m not a dog to be given one word commands. I’m a human being. Treat me like one or find another comment to converse in.
Scipio was an adopted grandson, not a blood relative. Although adoption seemed to often work out better than blood relatives for the Romans. Numidia would have seemed to be a threat to Rome. Theirs was the famed calvary that cut Rome to pieces and Rome was always weak in that area without mercenaries. If Numidia had conquered Carthage at some point while I don't know that they could have been a legitimate threat to Rome at this point it could have been another costly war. And you have to understand Rome had a ton of enemies (that they generally made themselves). Had the Macedonians helped Hannibal in a serious way it is likely that Rome could have been defeated at that time. Later on if say Egypt and Numidia attacked at the same time I'm not so sure Rome couldn't have survived it, but empires aren't interest in the probably and likely. Anyway, if it there was a logical reason to take Carthage it would be the potential threat from Numidia, not Carthage. The fact that they held out for three years is more due to the fact that Carthaginians realized it was a war of extermination at this point. The Germans even had trouble quelling a few tens of thousands of Jews with virtually no weapons in Warsaw once they finally realized what their fate was.
Romans wanted to prevent numidians from taking Carthage for themselves and they were right, few decades after the jugurthine wars would start and Rome made use of its North African holding against the Numidians
It did not last 2200 years. The Roman Republic with Rome survived for 988 years. 509 BC to 480 AD. The East roman Empire survived from 300 AD to 1453 AD, for 1123 years. Even if you combined them it is 1962.
Thank you Carthaginian, if not because you, Rome would never be superpower, have superior naval forces, and give so much in history both generous and cruelty. If only the father and son of barca avoided Rome anger, Rome will never be stronger
Shameful behavior by Rome during the Third Punic War. There was literally no need to destroy the city at that point, and after a generation or two the remainder of Carthage could have been assimilated peacefully, as some Hellenistic states were.
Honestly don't understand why Rome is the hated one when they both hated each other for basically just co-existing Seeking for revenge changes you drastically After Hannibal's adventure of killing the Romans, it's pretty much fair that the Romans burn down Carthage to the ground
I am a huge fan of Rome but this is no different when all Rome has left was Constantinople being bullied by the Ottoman Empire. All things must come to an end.
It is sad that no one talks about Carthage or what had to go through ,they were some of the first people to be destroyed by colonization and settlement by foreigners
Looks like someone has no idea of what colonization is. Depending on the definition, it started either way earlier (at least the bronze age, even the indo europeans) or much later, but the romans were absolutely not the first colonizers
I kind of wish the city of Carthage wasn't wiped out by the Romans they could have control that and maybe converted it to their society until the Vandals control the city and converted to their society and the same thing with Islam
Was inevitable the Carthages were smart at making money but dumb when it came to war. They literally could of taken down time in the 2nd Punic war as they were so close thanks to Hannibal however they didn’t bring him any support which was a very dumb decision

The Roman Empire was much more important to European history than it was to African history, and this video is explicitly about Roman history, not African geography. Roman culture was much more widespread than Mauretanian (spelling differs) culture, and was based in the larger Mediterranean and European world. Many aspects of Roman culture persist today in much of Europe. Modern Mauritania (if it's even contiguous with ancient Mauretania, the maps are inconsistent) is completely culturally Muslim and I highly doubt that a lot of pre-Islamic, much less Roman/Carthaginian, culture is present today. As for cartography, Mauritania is not the only empty spot on the map in the video. Providing constructive feedback would be more useful than just calling the authors racist (with a cutesy phrase), popular as that option may be nowadays.
@@tctheunbeliever Ancient Mauritania he is referring too is now modern Morocco. It’s where they Roman’s got the word moor from, the natives called themselves mauri. And this video is about Roman history in North Africa. Hence that kingdom becomes relevant also because king Massinisa is involved in this and since Numidia stretched into Mauri land it makes sense he asked that question. Don’t forget that later his descendants got even more involved with ancient Mauritania
@@tctheunbeliever actually Roman history was super important to North Africa we are so intertwined, we even had a North African Roman emperor. Later on when Christianity emerged we had Pope Gelaius and let me also add the saint Augustine from hippo, that’s just a few within Christianity. Roman Empire are so embedded with North African history it’s folly to assume other wise. We were the breadbasket of the Roman Empire, Native Berbers became Romanus africanus and we thrived in Roman society.

As the saying goes, if you wont feed army youll feed someone elses. Cartgage didnt pay its soldiers after I dont remember which punic war and they revolted undermining the whole country. And in the end it was Cartage that sent grain to freed roman armies while they where conquering Greece.
They send an envoy to treat with the invaders, and the response is “leave your city so we can burn it to the ground.” In those times that meant go starve in the desert or submit and become our slaves. God early human history was brutal.
Honestly every single punic war for victory was completely carthages fault got cocky in the first one failed to surrport Hannibal when he had Rome on its knees in the second one and as a result they were far to weak for the third one

If you think that the Romans would watch how Carthago becomes richer and more powerful, you are a fool, sooner or later the Romans would come up with a flimsy reason to attack.

Man i pity carthage, those damn roman barbarians
They send an envoy to treat with the invaders, and the response is “leave your city so we can burn it to the ground.” In those times that meant go starve in the desert or submit and become our slaves. God early human history was brutal.
your fatherless father is barbarian
Phoenician Carthagenian were the barbarians.. they used to sacrifie the first born to Ba'al
@@enricomanno8434and we know about how evil carthagenians were only from Romans. Very unbiased source!

Carthago delenda est.
Hello, first comment
Honestly every single punic war for victory was completely carthages fault got cocky in the first one failed to surrport Hannibal when he had Rome on its knees in the second one and as a result they were far to weak for the third one
Scipio Nasica is read as Skipio Nasika. S becoming Z only happened near the end of the Empire.
Anyone capable of remembering all of the different Scipios in Roman history? Seriously tho
Atlantis .....
I am pretty sure Manius Manilius most be one of the most manly names in history!
Mate please check how to pronounce names before butchering them

ROMA VICTOR!!!
I will forever be indebted to you, you've changed my whole life i'll will continue to preach about your name for the whole world to hear you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment all thanks to Mrs Sophia
Bitcion investment is what people should be going into all thanks to her for my successful withdraw ❤️.
My first investment with Mrs Sophia gave me profit of over $24,000 Us dollars and ever since then she has never failed to deliver and I can even say she's the most sincere broker I have known
She's obviously the best, I invested $3,000 and she made profit of $28,000 for me just in 15 days
I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs Sophia
I think she is the best broker I ever seen
i am roman

What about the puny war?
The only puny here is you
So that's how Carthage fell. Ok, good to know 👍🏻
si uite d asta nu iese episoade pe lumea lu dedo ca nu se mai intreseaza si de canalul din romana😢
🙂
This is how they got all the indigenous Africans off of North Africa.
Are you delusional?
If Carthage had focused on economy instead of waging war, thy would have taken over Rome. Every single time they needed money, they somehow found it
If you think that the Romans would watch how Carthago becomes richer and more powerful, you are a fool, sooner or later the Romans would come up with a flimsy reason to attack.
Jesus Loves You
VIVA LA ROMA!!!!!!
