Final answer:

After the Second Punic War, an uneasy peace ensued between Rome and Carthage until the Third Punic War, which resulted in the destruction of Carthage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Immediately after the Second Punic War, an uneasy peace lasted for several decades between Rome and Carthage.

However, enduring anti-Carthaginian sentiment in Rome eventually led to the Third Punic War.

This war ended with the complete destruction of Carthage in 146 BCE and the establishment of Rome's new African province. Tunis became the capital of the province.
