What caused Constantine to end Rome's persecution of Christians and make Christianity the legal religion?
The end of the Great Persecution of the Christians was actually decreed by emperor Galerius in the Edict of Toleration by Galerius in 311. Galerius returned to toleration of Christianity and guaranteed the Christians freedom of worship and the right to be safe in order to restore political stability in the empire. The persecution had caused great social unrest around the empire which was threatening its stability.Co-emperors Constantine the Great and Licinus signed the Edict of Milan of 313. It reiterated the toleration of Christianity, extended it to all religions and provided for compensation by the state to those who had bought or received Christian property as a gift which had been confiscated during the persecution and returned it to the Christians. The main aim of the edict seems to have been to act as an order for the governor of Syria to stop persecuting the Christians in his province. This governor continued the persecution, ignoring Galerius' edict.Neither the Edict of Toleration by Galerius nor the Edict of Milan made Christianity legal. Christianity had never been made illegal. There had been alternations of periods of toleration and period of persecution, but no emperor ever made Christianity illegal.More generally Constantine the Great supported Christianity. When he became sole emperor in 327 he and built important churches: the original Basilica of St Peter's in Rome, the St John Lateran's Basilica (the city of Rome's first Cathedral and the original residence of the Popes), the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople and Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in Jerusalem.

What are some ways the reign of Constantine benefited Christianity?
Constantine the Great finalised the end of the Great Persecution of the Christians which had been decreed in 311 by the Edict of Toleration by (emperor) Galerius. The Edict of Milan of 313 by Constantine and his co-emperor Licinius reiterated the toleration of Christianity and also provided for the return of Christian property which had been confiscated during the persecution. The edict was sent to the governors of the Roman provinces in Turkey, Syria and Egypt because the junior in that area had continued the persecution, ignoring the edict of 311. Constantine promoted Christians in the imperial administration and tried to arbitrate between the disputes between rival Christian doctrines. He also built important Christian churches: the original Basilica of St Peter's in Rome, the St John Lateran's Basilica (the city of Rome's first Cathedral and the original residence of the Popes), the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople and Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in Jerusalem.

It did shine as a light through the dark ages and made civilisation progress.
