A Carthaginian peace is the imposition of a very brutal "peace" achieved
|
|
|
|
|
by completely crushing the enemy.The term derives from the peace imposed
|
|
|
|
|
on [Carthage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Carthage) by
|
|
|
|
|
[Rome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Rome). After the [Second
|
|
|
|
|
Punic War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Punic_War), Carthage
|
|
|
|
|
lost all its colonies, was forced to demilitarize and pay a constant
|
|
|
|
|
tribute to Rome and could enter war only with Rome's permission. At the
|
|
|
|
|
end of the [Third Punic
|
|
|
|
|
War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Punic_War),the Romans
|
|
|
|
|
systematically burned Carthage to the ground and enslaved its
|
|
|
|
|
population.
