Rome vs Carthage

So both Rome and Carthage were both hungry for more land. So they fought each other for it. So They went in the water and both fought on the water with ships. But it was stalemate the whole time so one of the Carthage generals named Hannibal. He led his Elephants to the alps where the roman soldiers were camping. They heard strange noises and then saw the elephants. Some of the romans had never seen elephants and ran in terror. The elephants started burning some of the roman cities and the soldiers ran to Rome. One of the roman generals was smart though and led the best roman troops straight to Carthage. The people at Carthage were not expecting this and got scared, they called for Hannibal to come back and help them. But it was to late Hannibal's troops were to tired and to worn out burning cities that they couldn't fight the romans and they were defeated.
