Why did rome conquer the greek city states?

Rome conquered mainland Greece due to having been embroiled in the instability of the area and the political conflicts and wars between Greek states, rather than a desire for or a design of conquest. Rome wanted stability in the region. When Rome conquered peninsular Greece in 146 BC, this area was not exclusively composed of city-states. It also had the kingdom of Epirus which covered the west and the kingdom of Macedon in the north and part of the centre, which was the largest and the dominant state in mainland Greece. Rome ended up conquering mainland Greece as a result of having made alliances with some Greek states during the First Macedonian War she fought against Macedon. She was then drawn into three more wars (a 2nd and 3rd war against Macedon and a war with a Greek state in Syria) because she had been asked for help by her allies during military disputes between Greek states. After the Third Macedonian War, Rome spit the kingdom of Macedon into four republics which were her client states to end the troubles this kingdom was causing in the area. A rebellion broke out in Macedon, leading to the 4th Macedonian War. At the end of this war Rome decided to annex troublesome Macedon. The Achaean league, a league of city-states in the Peloponnese, in the south, decided to fight Rome. The league lost and Rome decided to annex the whole of mainland Greece.


How were the Greeks able to conquer or changed the other countries?

There was not an empire in Greece. Greece had two kingdoms, Macedon and Epirus and a number of city-states, some of which were united in leagues, the Aetolian League and the Achaean league. Mainland Greece was conquered by the Romans in 146 BC. In 148 BC Rome defeated Macedon, the largest and most powerful state, in the Fourth Macedonian War. Two years later it was turned into a Roman province. In the same year the Greek cities of the Achaean league rose against Rome and were defeated. As a result Achaea (in southern Greece) also became a Roman province, so did Epirus (in western Greece). Athens remained formally independent as an ally/client state until 88 BC when it revolted and was subdued. The Aeolian Islands were annexed in 133 BC.


What specific actions did Alexander take to unify the hellenisitc world?

Primarily by conquest. He also spin doctored his invasion of Persia as a "retaliatory" strike on Persia for her much earlier invasion of Greece. Few Greeks really believed that, but it sounded good. Additionally, because he needed the Athenian navy (Macedon didn't have [much of] one), when Thebes and Athens allied shortly after he took the throne, in an attempt to rebel against Philip II's Corinthian League, ATG gave Athens fairly light punishment. Thebes, by contrast, was razed to the ground. But again, nobody was under any illusions. The Greek south did what ATG said, because otherwise, they faced Macedonian sarissai (spears) -- e.g., they'd be attacked.
