The war was fought three times, the war began in 264 BC in Sicily. The war started because Carthage wanted more land that Rome owned. The war ended when Rome defeated Carthage and took back its land. The essential question that matches is ¨why do people seek change¨ this question works because Carthage wanted new land to do new things and seek changes. This was beneficial because Rome won the fights and didn't have to give any of there things away. Also Carthage was one of Romes biggest rivals and after Rome defeated them almost all of Carthage's people had died or were sold into being a slave. ]]> 2016-09-19 13:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/couturek/v49dm665kcl7/wish/124715627 218 BC 2nd Punic War couturek https://padlet.com/couturek/v49dm665kcl7/wish/124715628 Nik 
 
Rome and Carthage was involved in all the Punic wars. Because of Rome's imperialism rule they caused Carthage to fight in the war.The Romans had a dictator while the Carthaginians had Hannibal
 They had a war over land but the 2nd Punic war was mostly because the people from Carthage wanted revenge. The second war took place in the north of Italy.  The people from Carthage wanted revenge because they lost the first Punic war. They came from the north while the Romans were expecting them to come from the south.

Rome lost the second Punic war in 218 BC but they fought back against Carthage with Roman legions in 146 BC. The essential question, "What causes people to seek change" relates to this event because the Roman people had had enough of Hannibal destroying Italy and decided to fight back. This event was beneficial to Rome because they kicked Hannibal out out Italy and they took over almost all of Carthage's land.

In 133 BC, the Romans were justified in calling the Mediterranean sea Mare Nostrum, or "our sea". The Roman Empire took over all of the land surrounding the sea. Some regions allied with Rome or was a province of Rome (land under roman rule). The legion expanded Romes empire through the sea. Society should be governed by a serious and strong leader. Rome was powerful and was able to satisfy and control its empire and conquered land. Rome took over, but didn't take too much freedom from the people. They let the people keep some things that they wanted, like their customs, money, and local government. This was beneficial to Rome because the Roman population grew as the land started to expand.They had better armies and their armies grew stronger as they expanded.

They were two young patrician brothers elected as tribunes to hold the plebeians' interests. Tiberius was elected in 133 BC, and Gaius ten years later. Tiberius wanted the senate to give land to poor. Gaius desired more reforms and proposed using public funds to buy grain for the poor. The Gracchi brothers' reforms were engendered by the wealthy class in Rome lowering the prices of grain and other foods so much that the farmers could not lower their prices anymore. The latifundia, or large estates bought buy the wealthy Romans, were the cause of this. People sought change at this time because the lives of the poor were unfair and the rich people in the latifundia took advantage of slave labor to produce vast amounts of grain with little cost. The Gracchus brothers' reforms angered the senate, who saw the brothers as a threat to their power. The senators and their hired thugs killed them and thousands of their supporters in waves of street violence.  The Gracchi brothers were important to Rome because they were some of the first to push for major reforms.

In 59 B.C., Julius Caesar set out to gain more land for Rome and honor the tradition of imperialism.  After nine hard years of fighting,  he conquered the land of Gaul, which is now known as France. Despite the senate's orders of backing down, Caesar swiftly led his armies across the Rubicon River into northern Italy. Caesar was successful.  His perseverance helped Rome obtain more land and enlarge it's empire.  Caesar modeled what it meant to be a great leader when he never gave up and led his troops through Italy, across Narbonesis,  and into Gual.  He showed himself as a great leader when he set out to conquer and didn't stop until he did.  Julius Caesar was an extremely important person in Roman history, because he played a major part in expanding the Roman empire.

Julius Caesar reformed and died in 48-44 B.C. He had a lot of power that was mostly put to good. He gave jobs to the jobless, gave public land to the poor, and reorganized the government of the provinces, to give roman citizenship to more people. Because of all of the power that he had people worried that Caesar was going to make himself king of Rome. They believed to save  the republic, they had to plot against him. On March 44 B.C. Caesar was murdered by his enemies. His popularity had made many others jealous and resulted in Julius getting stabbed to death.  Julius was a great leader.  He lead many people of Rome out of poverty, supplied homes for them, and worked to help make Rome a better place.  He change the government to give more citizenships to the people.  Julius Caesar was beneficial to Rome.  He did what he could to improve the economy.  He looked down at the poor and in need, first.  He targeted his power to get the ones in need, to help them get out poverty and supplied a job and home for whoever needed one.  The public land, was given to the house less, by this excellent ruler, who also gave jobs to the jobless.   Already,  Rome was becoming an even better place to live.  When he got killed, Rome was left in a good manner.   The economy inclined from the changes he made to Rome.

In 31 B.C., the senate declared Octavian the first citizen and gave him the title of Augustus, which means "Exalted One." He ruled until A.D. 14 and ended the 500 year old republic. Octavian had absolute power, but was careful not to call himself a king because of hatred of the Etruscan king. During his leadership, the age of the Roman empire began. Augustus created a foundation for a stable government by enforcing the laws and opening high-level job to skilled men of any class. Augustus made many reforms, and making the tax system for fair was another. He ordered a census, which is a population count, to be taken. He also set up a postal service, gave everyone new coins [to make trade easier], and gave the unemployed work of building roads/temples, and to farm the land.  Octavian finally created a government which lasted 200 years. He made many reforms and changes to benefit Rome which made him a great leader. Octavian wanted to make sure he didn't have all the power, and wasn't named king. He decided to share his power with everyone, so that they were all equal. Because Augustus was a selfless leader, he benefited Rome with his great leadership.

  • Augustus was a successor to Caesar and attempted reform of the Roman Empire between 31 B.C and 14 A.D.  The Republic system was crippling so he created a well organized civil service to enforce the laws.  He showed what it means to be a good leader during his reform of Rome.  He created a census which is a population count.  He also got rid of the Republic.  This was beneficial to Rome because Augustus
