Best Answer

The Eastern Empire and Western Empire split when Rome was sort-of conquered. Most of the wealth was on the Eastern Empire and so the Germanic Peoples were attracted to the empty, wealthy Western side. The soldiers also had to retreat to the Eastern Empire because they had to protect Italy from being invaded from an attacking group of peoples.

What was Constantines motive for showing special favor towards Christianity?

By the time of Constantine's long reign as emperor, 'Christians' comprised about one-half the population of the Roman Empire. The Empire was in decline, and it was under attack from 'barbarians' of territories in northern and western Europe. Constantine was clever enough to realize that he needed to include this enormous group so as to strengthen his and the Empire's position. Even this decision was not sufficient, however, so later he moved the seat of the Empire from Rome to Constantinople (present-day Istanbul). Eventually, Rome itself was besieged (as Constantine anticipated); and, later still, Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks.

What was the importance of Constantinople?

When the Roman Empire was split into two, and the Western Roman Empire was then taken over by the Germanic invaders, for a thousand years Constantinople (ex-Byzantium) was the capital and centre of the Roman (Byzantine) Empire, maintaining the Graeco-Roman civilisation in a Europe degrading into the Dark Age. It maintained this remnant of civilisation for long enough for the Renaissance in central and western Europe to begin the long hard road to modern civilisation, until the Byzantine Empire was snuffed out by the Turkish invaders.
