THE WORLD'S
GREAT EVENTS

Hannibal
A LITTLE boy, nine years old, stood
before a recking heathen altar
one day in 238 B. C. end, at hts fa
ther's dictation, swore a solemn oath
— an oath that was destined to change
the fortunes of the world and to cost
The boy was Hannibal, one of the
g reatest mili t a ry g e niuse s of hi sto ry.
His father, Hamtlcar, was a famous
Carthaginian general. His three fierce
sons were known as "the Lion's
Brood." Carthage, a sovereign city,
whose domains extended for hundreds
a half million lives.
of miles, was situated on the north
coast of Africa, near modern Tunis. It
was settled by Phoenicians and rose to
pre-eminent commercial and educa
tional greatness. In 246 B. C. Car
thage clashed with Rome over the
possession of Sicily. This is known
as the First Punic or (Phoenician)
war. Rome won.
Hamtlcar ma'de his nlne-year-old
son, Hannibal, swear eternal enmity
to Rome; then took him on a cam
paign against Spain. The boy grew
up in camps and, at the age of twen-' I
ly-slx, was made commnnder-In-cMef |
of the Carthaginian armies. His first
act of power was to set about fulfill- |
Ing hts childish oath. With this In
view he completed the conquest of
Spain, meaning to use that country as I
a base of supplies in his proposed war
He then picked a quarrel with |
Koine's allies at Saguntum and stormed
their city. This brought forth n prompt
protest from the Romans, and In 219 j
R. C. the Second Punic war was on.
The next spring Hannlhni crossed the
Pyrenees with 112,000 men and 37 war
elephants, sweeping all hostile tribes
with Rome.
before him like chaff. Before reaching
what Is now France, on his march to
Italy, Hannlhni weeded out his ranks,
sending back all except the bravest,
hardiest men. This cut down his for
mer vast army to less than 30,000.
But he knew that In such a cam
paign as he planned It was quality,
not quantity, that counted. He crossed
the Rhone, eluding the Roman army
«ent to stop 1dm, arid reached the
Alps. The passage of this range of
mountains Involved tremendous work?
The track was Impassable for his ele
phants, and the snows and bitter cold
chilled his Africans and Spaniards to
the bone. He cleared a road, blasting
rocks, it Is said, with a preparation of
vinegar, and transported his whole
army over into northern Italy in 15
days.
I'ubllus Sclplo, the Roman consul,
again barred his way, but was badly
beaten In a battle near Vercelll. At
this conflict the consul's seventeen
year-old son, later known to history
as "Sclplo Afrlcanus," fought hla first
battle. The Romans, reinforced to
40,000, again attacked Hannibal and
again were beaten. The Carthaginian,
In the spring of 217 B. C., lured a
great Roman army^lnto a trap in a
mountain defile near Lake Trnslmene
and mastered them. Rome, aghast at
the invader's progress, chose Fablus
Maximus, nicknamed "the Delayer,"
for general-in-chief. Fabius would risk
no general engagement with his terri
ble foe, but pursued a course of mas
terly Inactivity that has since become I
(mown in warfare as "Fabian tactics." (
After wasting northern Italy Han
nibal the following spring encountered
a Roman array 86,000 strong (far
larger than his Own) near Cannae and
literally cut It to pieces. Onward to
wards the city of Rome Itself Hanni
bal advanced. None dared to oppose
him. He held Rome and all Italy in
the hollow of his hand. The road to
Rome was clear. But, Instead of con
tinuing to the city itself, he foolishly
went into winter quarters at Capua.
•When spring came, Hannibal's great
chance was gone. Rome was ready
for him. His once invincible army
.was now a rftssohite, overfed horde.
True, for years later he ravaged
Italy, once encamping within three
miles of Rome and sending his skir
mishing parties up to the very gates
of the city. But never again did he
succeed in placing the enemy wholly at
his mercy. His star was on the decline.
Yet even then no Roman general j
dared attack him, for in all his
15 years of invasion he was never
personally defeated in battle. The
younger Sclplo hit on a plan to
rid Italy of the terrible foe. He
crossed with on army Into CÄrthngin
lan territory, thus carrying the* war
into Africa. Carthage, being menaced,
sent in haste tor Hannibal to protect
his home city, and he left Italy never
to return. Hannibal, with an inferior
force, met Sclplo at Kama, Africa, and
tor the first Brae in hla life was
beaten. This defeat ended the Second
Punic war. Carthage was. tor the
time, crashed.
•* Hannibal turned his attention te
statesmanship, with snch success that
within a very few years he had built
up Carthage's shattered finances and
power. Rome, still dreading hlm, de
manded his surrender. Sooner than
Involve hts country In another war
Hannibal voluntarily went into exile
But wherever be went Rome's hatred
panned him. *
At last brought to bay and knowing
what treatment he mlgfit expect too»
the releétiees Romans, Hannibal
sacked poison from a ring he always
won, and once more baffled hla Uto
