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.

When did rome conquer Greece and how did it happen?
The Romans annexed mainland Greece in 176 BC. This was the result of Rome having fought a war in Greece and, after this, having been drawn into further wars between Greek states to support Greek allies. Given the volatile situation between Greek states, Rome decided to take over.Greece was not a unified country. It was divided into various states, such as the kingdom of Macedon, the kingdom of Epirus, two alliances between city-states (the Aetolian League (which was formed to counter Macedon's power) and the Achaean League (which was formed to counter Sparta's power) and other city-states, such as Athens and Sparta. The island of Rhodes was an important state and had territories on the nearby Turkish coast. There were other Greek states in the eastern Mediterranean, the kingdom of Pergamon in western Turkey, the Seleucid Empire, centred on Syria, and the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt.During the Second Punic War the Romans fought the First Macedonian War (214 to 205 BC) against Macedon (the biggest and most powerful state in Greece) because their king, Philip V, allied with Hannibal who was invading Italy and because he wanted to take over Illyrian territories (in Albania) which were under Rome's sphere of influence. The Aetolian league and Pergamon allied with Rome and fought alongside her.Rome then got involved in more wars in Greece to fight with her allies during conflicts between Greek states.A Second Macedonian War (200-197 BC) broke out because Rhodes, an island near Turkey, and Pergamon (a Greek kingdom in western Turkey) asked Rome for help against Macedon. Phillip IV attacked land that belonged to the (Greek) king of Egypt south of Pergamon and close to Rhodes. Rhodes and Pergamon asked Rome for help. The Romans sent ambassadors to investigate who found little support for a war against Philip in Greece. However, Athens declared war on Greece and Macedon sent an invading force. The Roman ambassador urged Philip V to leave the Greek states alone and gave an ultimatum. Philip ignored this. Rome declared war and won. The Aetolian league, Athens, Pergamon and Rhodes fought with Rome.In the 190s BC a stand-off developed between the two great powers of the Mediterranean, Rome and the Seleucid Empire (a Greek state centred on Syria) of Antiochus III. It was caused by the latter's expansion into western Turkey (and attacked Greek cities in this area) and Thrace, (next door to Greece). A Greek city in north-western Turkey asked Rome for help. This led to a stand-off. Then the Aetolian League (which had fought with Rome) turned against Rome and called for all Greeks to rebel against the Romans and for Antiochus III to attack Greece. Antiochus landed in Greece, expecting many Greek states to ally with him. However, only the king of Athamania (in central Greece) joined the Seleucids and the Aetolians. Boeotia and Epirus made an alliance but did not join the war and remained neutral. Instead, the Achaean League and Macedon joined the fight on the side of Rome. In this war, the Roman-Syrian War (192-188 BC) the allies of the Romans were: the Achaean League, Macedon, Pergamon and RhodesThe Third Macedonian War (171-168 BC) was caused by the policies of the new king of Macedon, Perseus. He increased the size of his army and made alliances with the kingdom of Epirus (on the coast next to Italy) some Illyrian tribes (in an area which was in Rome's sphere of influence) and Thracian tribes hostile to Rome's allies in that area. Pergamon accused Perseus of violating an existing treaty. Rome declared war, won and divided Macedon into four puppet republics with restrictions of political and trade contracts, destroyed some cities and villages, gave some land to Roman veterans and enslaved 300,000 Macedonians. Pergamon fought with Rome again.The Fourth Macedonian War (150 to 148 BC) was caused by a revolt in Macedon. Rome annexed Macedon. In 146 BC the Achaean League rebelled and Rome annexed the whole of mainland Greece, which became the Roman provinces of Achaea and Epirus. Pergamon continued to be an ally of Rome until its last king, Attalus III, who died without male issue, bequeathed his kingdom to Rome in 133 BC.

How did the Greeks attempt to stop the Rome's invasion of Greece?
The Romans did not actually invade Greece. They had 68 year of military involvement in mainland Greece before they annexed it. The Romans waged the First Macedonian War (214-205 B.C.) against the kingdom of Macedon, the largest and most powerful state in mainland Greece with the help of Greek allies: the Aetolian League, the cities of Sparta, Elis and Messenia and the Kingdom of Pergamon. After this the Romans left Greece. They fought the Second Macedonian War (200-196 B.C.) because her allies, Pergamon and Rhodes, asked her from protection against the aggressive policies of Macedon. The Aetolian league and Athens also fought alongside Rome. The Aetolian league, instead, defected and fought alongside the Seleucids. A coalition between Rome, Macedon, the Achaean League, Macedon, Pergamum, and Rhodes fought against and defeated Sparta In the Laconian War, of 195 B.C. Then the Romans left Greece again. They fought the Seleucid/Syrian War (192-188 B.C.) against the Syria-based Seleucid Empire because it invaded Greece. Pergamon and Rhodes fought alongside the Romans again. Macedon supported Rome. It did not fight, but allowed the Romans to cross its territories to pursue the Seleucids fleeing to Turkey. Despite the Seleucid Propaganda of wanting to liberate Greece, only the Aetolian league, which defected, and Athamania fought alongside them.The Romans fought the Third Macedonian War (171-168 BC)the new king of Macedon, Perseus, who increased the size of his army, made alliances with Epirus (in western Greece) and several peoples near Greece, moved aggressively against his neighbours and said that he could carry out reforms in Greece and restore its previous strength and prosperity. Pergamon accused Perseus of wanting to take over other states and of violating the peace conditions with Rome. The Romans worried about the balance of power in Greece. When Perseus was implicated in an assassination plot against a Roman ally, Rome, declared war. The Romans won and took the court and members of leading families as prisoners, some around 300,000 Macedonians were enslaved, and some cities and villages were destroyed. The Romans thought that there could be no peace in Greece without breaking Macedon's power. Macedon was divided into four client republics. Economic and political contacts between them were restricted.A Fourth Macedonian War (150 BC-148 B.C.) was fought against a rebellion led by a pretender to the Macedonian throne who pretended to be the son of former king and wanted to re-establish the old Macedonian Kingdom. This destabilised Greece. The Romans defeated the Macedonian forces. Two years later the Roman annexed Macedon, which became a Roman province, together with Epirus and Thessaly. In the same years the Achaean League rose up in arms and was defeated. The Romans destroyed Corinth. The whole of Greece was now annexed.
