This question is not that easy to answer. The problem is that one of the fundamental forces (gravity) has not yet been successfully merged into the theoretical framework used to describe the other forces.

The other three forces have the following similarities:

-They are all mediated by particles of force called gauge bosons.

-They can all be thought of arising from symmetries of the laws of nature.

-The gauge bosons of these forces all have spin-1.

The electromagnetic force and the weak nuclear force are the low-energy result of one underlying force called the electroweak force.

Gravity, if successfully added would also be mediated by a gauge boson called the graviton, although it will have spin-2. It is also associated with a symmetry; that the laws of physics do not depend on the observer's frame. Mathematically it would be associated with local SO(3,1) (Lorentz group) invariance.
