Detailed explanation-1: -How did the Greeks try to stop Rome from gaining control of Greece’s mainland? The separate kingdoms joined together to fight against Rome. The city-states remained under permanent control by Macedonia. The Greeks began supporting Rome’s enemies in wars.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rome declared war on Macedonia (northern Greece). They defeated Macedonia at the Battle of Cynoscephalae in 197 BC and then again at the Battle of Pydna in 168 BC. Rome continued its conquest of Greece. The Greeks were finally defeated at the Battle of Corinth in 146 BC.
Detailed explanation-3: -By 146 BCE Romans had conquered the Greek city-states. Heavy taxes were paid by the provinces to support the luxury of Rome; the conquered people began to resent this. Greece didn’t really decline as a culture because the Macedonians (Alexander the Great) and the Romans both adopted and spread Greek culture.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Greek peninsula fell to the Roman Republic during the Battle of Corinth (146 BC), when Macedonia became a Roman province. Meanwhile, southern Greece also came under Roman hegemony, but some key Greek poleis remained partly autonomous and avoided direct Roman taxation.
