The only thing to do is tell the truth - but there's no reason to go into all the gory details. I was fired last year. My boss said "It's just not a fit any more." That was true, and basically it's all I said about the situation, except to add "And I've resolved never again to twist myself into something I'm not just to get a job" which showed that I have learned from the experience. If you were fired for cause, I think saying something like "I made some mistakes that I regret, but I now know how I would better handle the situation" might be the way to go. Good luck!

Try to present the dismissal in neutral terms. Recommended interview techniques for handling this tough situation highlight the importance of demonstrating that you are able to look at the dismissal objectively. For example, if the problem was a conflict with your manager, discuss it using the pronoun "we" to show that you accept joint responsibility for the problem. "We were not able to work productively together." It is advisable to avoid playing the blame game. Bad-mouthing your previous employer portrays you as a bitter ex-employee who is not able to move forward.
