The Greeks pretended to give up and sent the Trojan horse a gift to Trojans to show their defeat. However, they actually had a plan. Inside the horse hid the Greek's army. When the Trojans celebrated victory and fell asleep, the Greeks crept out at night and burnt and destroyed Troy.

What made Achilles get back into the Trojan War?

Achilles and his Myrmidons were the best warriors in Greece at that time. After the falling out with Agamemnon (who took Achilles' concubine after his had to be returned to the Trojans), and Achilles' subsequent refusal to enter the battle, the Greeks didn't win a single engagement. The Greeks had been beaten back to their ships, which were in danger of being destroyed (which would leave the Greeks at the mercy of the Trojans), so Patroclus, his longtime friend and companion, convinced Achilles to let him wear Achilles' armor and lead the Myrmidons into battle. Achilles agreed, but ordered Patroclus to break off the attack once the ships were no longer in danger. But in the heat of battle, Patroclus ignored the command and he fought the Tojans back to the city gates where he was killed by Hector (who assumed he was fighting Achilles). He had killed 53 Trojans that day. Achilles, in anger, both at Hector and himself, Achilles challenged the Trojan prince to single combat, which Achilles won and then continued to lead the Myrmidons and the Achaeans to victory, ultimately dying at the hand of Paris. After the King and Achilles decided they couldn't settle their arguement, one of Achilles's closest friends stole his armor and rode into battle pretending to be Achilles. After he was killed in battle, Achilles felt he needed to avenge his fallen friend.

How did the Greeks conquer the city of troy?

For a long time the battle was only held outside the walls of Troy. But after many years of warfare, Odysseus finally came up with a plan of the trojan horse. A wild tale was concocted that would lead the trojans to believe that they must allow the entrance of the horse. When night came and the trojans were all asleep after their drunken celebration, the greek soldiers came out of the horse and put fire on the houses and killed most of the trojans before the latter learned that they were tricked.
