Answer:

The correct answer is A. The First Punic War was fought over control over Sicily.

Explanation:

The First Punic War was the first of the three Punic Wars fought between Carthage and the Roman Republic. Between 264 and 241 BC, the two largest powers of the Mediterranean fought for supremacy, especially in Sicily and neighboring waters, but also in North Africa. The war marked the beginning of a strategic transformation in the western Mediterranean. Carthage began the war as the great maritime power in the region while Rome had nothing but a small fleet of warships. During the war, Rome constructed a powerful navy, developed new tactics and used strategically its navy, its army and its alliances in Sicily to get to expel the Carthaginians of the island. The First Punic War ended with a treaty between Rome and Carthage, but years of bloodshed would still come in the Second and Third Punic Wars before the strategic question of supremacy in the western Mediterranean was resolved in favor of the Romans and with the total destruction of Carthage.
