Detailed explanation-1: -Because of its geography, Italy proved much easier to unify than Greece. Unlike Greece, Italy is not broken up into small, isolated valleys. The Apennine Mountains, which run down the length of the Italian peninsula, are less rugged than the mountains of Greece.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why do you think that the Romans could unify their peninsula and the Greeks could not. Because the Mountain range in Greece divided Greece and its people could not see the other people on the other side. According to Roman mythology, how was Rome founded?
Detailed explanation-3: -Over time, Rome was increasing in size, power, and trade. By 146 BCE Romans had conquered the Greek city-states.

Detailed explanation-5: -Unlike the mountains in Greece, which divided communities, passes through the Italian mountains helped link people from different parts of early Italy. As a result, those peoples could trade ideas and goods with one another.
