PURNING SPEAR Page . . . . . . . .I4 . . . Hannibal is said to have been the most brilliant military .genius <strong>of</strong> all time . At 26, he executed and accomplished what, in his day, was truly impossible, Born in 246 A,D ., in a wealthy seafaring nation and descendants <strong>of</strong> another great <strong>Black</strong> people, the Phonenicians, Carthage was the center . <strong>of</strong> trade at that time . Carthage traded with India, people <strong>of</strong> the Mediterranean and neighboring Isles and, <strong>of</strong> course, traded with other-people <strong>of</strong> Africa . Rome, which was only 100 miles from the beautiful, black wealthy shores <strong>of</strong> Carthage, naturally envied the richness there and wanted a piece <strong>of</strong> trade. Diy's Soon war erupted between Rorne and Carthage (the first <strong>of</strong> dire° wars between Rome and Carthage called the .Punic Wars) in which 53eily was lost to Romans . Though the Carthaginians suffered that defeat, her people were soon 'roused by Hamilcar Barca--the Lightning, who led his people on to a series <strong>of</strong> b~illiant victories . His nine year old son, Hannibal (with the spirit <strong>of</strong> a born warriox) then pledged to bury the Romans beneath the sand dunes <strong>of</strong> the Sahara . Just seventeen short years later, Hannibal had become supreme commander <strong>of</strong> the army, and went on to unite all his people and dust all his local enemies . Spain and F~ance, plus the savage white tribes in the axea, also were subdued by this brave black man . Even more daring, with just 80,000 men and 40 elephants, Hannibal decided to revenge his people and bring Rome tumbling down . Even though Rome had a mi113.on men in its infantry a superior navy, and was virtually impregnable because <strong>of</strong> the frozen Alps which provided a natural defense, she still shook in her. white knees at the thought <strong>of</strong> <strong>Black</strong> retribution . Check now ; Hannibal and his soldiers were used to the weather <strong>of</strong> the tropics, were unmerically and physically outnumbered, and had not even seen the Alps nor could they imag .ne the dangers to be encountered; the freezing weather, frozen paths, incredible precipices which meant instant death if one fell, and savage cuhite tribes lurking behind the rocks . This was incredible : No ~vprye dared cross the Alps, except Hannibal But before he even reached the Alps, Hannibal met an array <strong>of</strong> whites guarding the Rhine river which he had to cross . The Hunkys had the numerical advantage, plus they did not need to cross the river . Always thinking, Hannibal sent part <strong>of</strong> his army some few miles down vhe a:iver .where they crossed safely . A1. a signal, Ha~a3.bai crossed the river and was met full force in the front by the enemy . Hannibal's other soldiers then attacked the enemy on its flank and caught them in a trick which what looked as defeat into victory, bold tactics into brilliant strategyr The Alps were next° ---- . . . .-,, Hannibal and hia soldiers found themselves fatally unprepaxed for the blizzard cold <strong>of</strong> the Alps . Many <strong>of</strong> his men froze to death, or fell to death on the high ridges . About halfway, Hannibal and his soldiers wexe met by a hostile white tribe which let loose boulders on the army and killed many men who were unable to defend or cover themselves on the narrow path .
