The birth of the Roman Empire is determined by the beginning of the reign of the first emperor, Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus, in 44 BC. It continues but changes dramatically through the reign of the Emperor Diocletian who divided the empire into the four sections of the Tetrachy in 293 AD. The Empire, although divided into four was typically thought of as the Western and Eastern Roman Empires. The Western Empire fell to Odoacer, a barbarian officer in the Roman Army, leader of the Sciri (an eastern Germanic tribe)and Heruli (a Germanic/Scandinavian tribe), and forced the abdication of Romulus Augustus on 4 September 476 AD at Ravenna. The Eastern (Byzantine) Empire continued until 29 May 1453 with the fall of Constantine XI in his final charge in the battle to defend Constantinople from Mehmed II and the Ottoman Turks. With the death of Constantine XI, the Roman Empire ended.
The overextension of the Roman Empire finally begin to unravel in the 3rd century of the Common Era. The various Roman Generals began squabbling over control of the Western Empire and eventuated in the breaking away of the Middle Eastern countries, which became the Palmyrean Empire and in the West, Gaul, Britain and Hispania broke away forming the Gallic Empire. Imperial Rome was never able to conquer the Germanic tribes whose continuous raids only added to the final dissolution of the Western Roman Empire.
The Byzantine Empire was the eastern half of the Roman Empire, but when Rome fell to barbaric conquerors such as Alaric the Byzantine Empire stayed strong. Constantinople, named after Constantine, the Roman Emperor who converted to Christianity on the battlefield, was originally called Byzantium, and it was the center of the Byzantine Empire. The two most famous people of the Byzantine Empire was Emperor Justinian and his empress, Theodora. They were famous because of their efforts to reunite the Mediterranean under Roman rule. Unfortunately Theodora died of cancer in June of 548, but she and her husband reconquered the Mediterranean before her death.

the final collapse was due to worsening internal problems, the separation of the western empire from the wealthier eastern empire, and increasing outside invasions.

Historian make a confusing use of the term Roman Empire. they use it to refer both to the territories Rome conquered and the period of rule by emperors which followed the fall of the Roman Republic. The Roman Republic was brought down by a series of civil wars which tore it apart. Augustus was the final winner of these wars and established his absolute rule and became the first Roman emperor. Thus, he started the 503-year period of rule by emperors. In terms of empire as territorial conquests, the Roman Republic already had an empire. Much of Rome's imperial expansion occurred during the Republic.
the final collapse was due to worsening internal problems, the separation of the western empire from the wealthier eastern empire, and increasing outside invasions.
The major cause of the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The Romans lacked unity and were unable to fend off these invasions. These peoples, and two more Germanic peoples, who had been allowed to settle in parts of the empire, took over lands in this part of the empire. Eventually all of its lands were seized, except for Italy. At the end of this process, even Italy was taken over by the Ostrogoths, who were sent there by the eastern Roman Emperor to depose a usurper.
After Julius Caesars final win at Alysia,Gaul (France) became apart of the Roman Republic, Gaul became a stronghold of the Roman Empire later on and was the edge of the Western Empire. France was one of the first (countries) to be ruled by the Romans and though out the time of the Empire until the fall of the Empire it remained under Roman control
The final war of the Roman Republic was the last of the Roman civil wars of the republic, fought between Cleopatra and Octavian. The ruling empire during those days was the Roman Empire and it would last in Western Europe until the fall of Rome in the 5th century AD.
The Empire was divided by Diocletian in 285 CE. However, the empire was also reunified on many occasions such as during the reigns of Theodosius I, Constantine the Great, and Julian the Apostate. These reunification were all short-lived and died with the death of their respective emperors.
Although by the time the Holy Roman Empire was officially dissolved it had already been facing centuries of decay and could hardly be called an empire, its final destruction is usually attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte who dissolved it during his invasions and replaced it with his own German Confederation.
Julius Caesar did not establish the ancient Roman empire. He did help expand the territory that ancient Rome had conquered. Many historians have said that the beginnings of Rome as an empire came with the final defeat of Carthage. This gave Rome control over a vast area in the western Mediterranean Sea.
