Uniting the Greeks under one government was challenging due to the fragmentation of the region into numerous city-states, each with its own government, culture, and interests. Additionally, deep-rooted rivalries and conflicts, such as those between Athens and Sparta, further complicated efforts for unity. The geographical landscape, characterized by mountains and islands, fostered local identities and made centralized control difficult. Moreover, external threats and influences from larger powers, such as Persia and later Rome, often exacerbated divisions among the Greek states.

What was the trick that the Greeks used called?

If you refer to a "trick" then you probably mean the Trojan Horse. According to literary legend, the city of Troy was under siege by Greek forces. The Greeks constructed a giant horse, and then presumably gave up the siege and sailed away. The Trojans pulled the horse into the city as a war trophy. The horse was filled with a small force of soldiers, who crept out at night and opened the gates of the city to the Greek army, which had returned under cover of darkness, and the city was taken. The event is not generally considered historically factual. PREVIOUS ANSWER: Im guessing you mean a military tactic. The Greeks introduced western Europe to a strategy called "phalanx". It created a circle and all the soldiers would have their shields out making it hard for their enemy to kill them especially on open plains.

Why couldn't ancient Greece unite under one single government?

Greece was mainly composed of city states free from each other, where no one city dominated all others. It is a situation where there can be no unified country. Such a region cannot dominate other regions around. It may be because of Geography that did not allow communications between them as is the case with many other regions. Only Macedonia, a bit to the interior, developed traits to dominate other regions. It developed an Empire that encompassed whole of Greece, somehow. Such unity in the face of external aggression like that from Persia was demonstrated amply. But it didn't last.

How did the Greek empire come to a end?

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.
