Right, True Story of Carthaginian Empire ruled by Queen Dido. The first business woman talented in Marketing traders history of humans. I read in the book The History of Carthage while I'm in Tripoli Libya. I don't know who is the book owner I found in the corner of my barrack. Very nice story. The First Government in history had 1 Senator. The Roman Empire imitated they make 2 Senator in Government.
Carthage beauty are green eyes like eyes of Cat. We have Tunisian Colleagues at National Oil Corporation in Tripoli Libya, look like Delilah.
( In my mind i am Samson hehe'! ) Her friends Tunisians are blondie hair and green eyes. Also some Libyans are green eyes. Libya also under by Roman Empire, they have also ruins of Romans in Sabratha and Liptis Magna Amphitheatre.

Beautiful video, but that isn't the reason why Carthage fell at all. The actual reason is that they messed their relations with the Numidian Massyli Kingdom who has always been the good ally of Carthage before they betray their king Massinissa in favour of another Numidian, King Syphax of Massaesylia. But this proved a very big big mistake, as Massinissa's revenge was to ally with Rome, help Scipio beat Hannibal at Zama with his elite Numidian Cavalry, unify Numidia, and went on war again against Carthage starting the third Punic war. Rome actually just went finishing off Massinissa's work by destroying Carthage city, preventing the Numidians from taking it and becoming even stronger.

Population advantage of Rome. Rome had nearly 6 million to Carthage almost 700, 000. The population Rome could levied as soldiers was larger then the entire punic population.
It didn't matter how many battles Carthage won the Roman could easily refill their ranks. This is why Hannibal attempted to plant Schism betwen Rome snd it's Italian allies.

Carthage's fall is a ominous warning to empires on the price of selling out your own heroes and their insatiable greed and hubris had doomed their people. It's also a valuable lesson of persistence that despite suffering many losses in two Punic wars, the Romans had a determination to never give up and defeated their rival.

'Why did Carthage collapse', Cause Rome, Beat Cathage at the battle of Zama, killed all the males, enslaved women & children, and raised Crthage to the ground! Tunis was built near by cause Cathage was decimated.

this is called bait and switch. i've clicked because I'm interested in Carthage, not in elephants. At least, if you do, don't fill half a video with it. I usually like your videos but this gets a dislike.

Title: Why did Carthage collapse?
Video: Elephant comes from the Latin word -ele- which means arch and -phant- which means huge. -proceeds to explain the elephant's evolutionary tree-

Carthage really had to fall, because IMPERIVM wanted HISPANIA, and Hispania it obtained. Plus they needed to show pesky Carthagenians who the real boss in the region is

No mention of the use of war rhetoric by the Romans to gin up support for forcing the 3rd Punic War? How do you do a video on Carthage without saying, -Carthago delenda est! -?

You can track the downfall of Carthage back to Hanno II refusing to send aid to Hannibal when after he won Canae. Just because of greed and self interest.

Wasn't the Carthaginian war elephant of a different species from the African elephants we know today? A smaller, now extinct elephant if I'm not mistaken

Because Carthage didn't crush Rome when they had the chance, too much focus on Mercantilism whereas Rome was entirely focused on Militarism

The elephant explanations turned me away at 5: 51, I no longer cared about learning about Rome/Carthage at that point & exited the video.

This bit about elephants is completely unnecessary. Seemed to be paid promotion not a part of the original video.

The reason why Carthage collapsed was because Hannibal should have marched to Carthage instead of Rome.
