  • In the thirteenth episode of 5 Minute Warfare, we delve into Hannibal’s audacious crossing of the Alps, one of the most legendary feats in military history. In just five minutes, we recount how, in 218 BC, the Carthaginian general led his army, including war elephants, through treacherous mountain terrain to surprise the Roman Republic. This bold manoeuvre not only showcased Hannibal’s ingenuity and determination but also set the stage for his stunning victories in the Second Punic War. Join us as we uncover the challenges, strategy, and enduring legacy of Hannibal’s masterstroke.
