Alexander the great united people through a common culture (Greek), allowing the people to keep their own religion and honoring all the religions of the people he conquered, and adopting parts of the cultures of his conquered territories.
He used Persians as officials and encouraged his soldiers to marry Asian women.
He destroyed Thebes and sold its people into slavery as a warning to the other city-states, and so ensured their united submission.
Ancient Greece itself had no real weakness, since each individual city-states makes up for the weakness of another. For example, Spartan had a horrible political system, with oligarchy, monarchy, and democracy all together, yet Athens' democracy more than makes up for Spartan's political weakness. On the other hand, Spartan military make the whole Greece military seem stronger.

Alexander the Great aimed to unite his empire by implementing various strategies. He encouraged the assimilation of different cultures by adopting Persian customs and appointing Persians to key positions. He also used intermarriage between his Greek soldiers and Persian women to foster cultural integration. Additionally, Alexander promoted the use of a common language, Greek, as a unifying force among diverse peoples.
Greece was never an empire. Greece consisted of little city-states united by a common language and traditions, but they were never united under one ruler. Each city-state had it's own king or queen. You are probably referring to Alexander The Great's empire? Alexander was Macedonian, not Greek, so his was the Macedonian Empire, not the Greek Empire. The Macedonian Empire (which included some Greek city-states) ended when Alexander died in in 323BC - with no heir, the generals fought amongst themselves and ended up dividing his hard-earned empire into tiny chunks. Alexander's Macedonian Empire spanned across Macedonia, Greece, Egypt and Persia. With Alexander being vain, he named cities after himself (Alexandria, etc) so people would remember him.
Alexander the Great didn't conquer cities, unless you are talking about the Greek city states he conquered to unite Greece under his hegemony. Alexander conquered the Persian Empire and took over all its holdings which included Egypt and capitulated without a battle, and then fought Porus in modern day Pakistan with intentions to push forward into India.

No. Ancient Greece never had an empire. An empire is a vast territory ruled by one city. Ancient Greece was never united. It consisted of individual city-states with their own laws and customs.

They used many methods for example they had strict rulers running the Empire. Since many were nomadic it was definately neccesary to unite these people
