overturn of the former Chin dynasty because of its tyranny. According to Ssu-ma Ch’ien, the Emperor Kao-tsu faced the competition of other forces and the resistance from the former dynasty in his way of building Han dynasty.

During this process, the most competitive and powerful opponent that Kao-tsu faced was Hsiang Yu. Kao-tsu fought with Hsiang Yu in the decisive battle called Kai-hsia.

Outcomes from the Second Punic War The second Púnic war (herein after referred to as, “the War”) came to a close in 201 BCE, following Scípio’s victory over Hánnibal at the battle of Záma. After seventeen years of warfare, and at a great loss of life on both sides, Rome defeated Cárthage and came out on top as the new superpower in the Mediterránean region. The outcome of this war brought consequences to Cárthage and created opportunities for Rome (Morey, 1901). The Cost to Cárthage Economic Cárthage

Originally founded as a trading post for the Etruscans, Rome was located along the Tiber River. Much of the early civilization’s success can be credited to the agricultural resources of the Italian Peninsula. Wheat and barley were harvested not only for consumption, but also for barter and payment for governmental taxes. The precious metal mines of Sicily also provided resources for additional growth and development. Other resources of the area include olive trees and grapevines, which were introduced

successfully captured Italy it's supremacy was unshakable. On other hand, in northern coast of Africa, a great city of Carthage had imposed its dominion both in trade and military. In her status, I can say, that It has the capability even to wage war to a super power empire like Rome. Carthage source of her imperium was its dominance in trade business. It successfully regulated most of her trading colonies in northern Africa as well as in Greek cities. No wonder it named as the "the capital

more and more Roman men were deployed into the war. In addition to these new troops from Rome, Roman allies also physically engaged in the war against Carthage. The constant emplacement of new men to the fight allowed for the Roman army to consistently remain twice the size Hannibal’s, even following dramatic losses such as in the Battle of Cannae, essentially making it impossible to destroy the Roman army. Hannibal struggled to find replacements for the losses endured in Italy. Because Carthage

From 264 BC to 146 BC, a series of wars broke out between Carthage and Rome. These wars were probably the largest that had ever taken place in this time period, and were called The Punic Wars. The reason for the conflict was the existing Carthaginian Empire and expanding Roman Republic came into contact with one another. During this time new strategic weapons and plans were being used. The Romans successfully defeated the Carthaginians with a wide use of tactics and sophisticated weapons. The Romans'

After the huge financial and human costs of the 2nd Punic War, Rome might easily have turned its attention inward. Instead, in a move about which historians still debate, Rome turned to the east. They waded first into the ancient morass of Greek politics that lurked across the Adriatic, and were then were drawn -seemingly inexorably- ever further eastward through Asia Minor, and beyond. I intend to show that this expansion eastward was not driven by any “top-down” imperial strategy on the part of

The outcome of the second Punic War turned Rome into the single most powerful force in the western Mediterranean. Indirectly, it also forced Rome to grow politically and militarily as it learned to deal with acquisitions and powerful opponents beyond the Italian peninsula. Direct Consequence of the Second Punic War (218-201) (Morey, 1901a, Par. Battle of Zama and End of the War) 1. Carthage became a dependent state, loosing it’s right to declare war without permission of Rome. 2. Carthage lost

After the Carthaginian Empire chose war the Roman Empire sent part of their army and one of their consul down to  Sicily to get ready for a invasion of Carthage and North Africa, then they sent part of their army and the other consul to invade Iberia and capture Roman holdings there, ans they left a small force of recruits to make sure that the Gauls in Italy don't take this as a advantage to beat Rome. Since, Hannibal was a clever guy and he sees that defending North Africa  was going to be a loss
