It was the western part of the Roman Empire which fell/was dismembered. The term fall was coined by Edward Gibbon a historian who wrote the monumental work "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire", in the 18th century. The expression has stuck ever since.
Other historians prefer to say that the western part of the Roman Empire was dismembered because if was carved by the Germanic invaders (the Vandals. Sueves, Alans, Burundians and Alemanni) and by former Germanic allies of the Romans (the Visigoths and the Franks) who created their own kingdoms in former lands of this part of the empire. They also found the term fall inadequate as a description for the complexities of the process of the demise of the western part of the Roman Empire
The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for another 1,000 years. Historians have coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part.
They called in the Western Roman empire. The only change of any of the roman empires was in the eastern roman empire. The eastern roman empire changed into the Byzantine Empire
No particular document explains the decline of the Roman Empire. Historians have elaborated this notion from the writings of several Roman and Greek authors. Some historians even challenge this notion of a decline of this empire.
You have to be more specific as to what you mean by the "Byzantine Empire". If you are asking about the eastern part of the Roman empire, which historians have dubbed "Byzantine" (after the city of Byzantium), be aware that there was no such thing. It was the Roman empire-- period. Historians used the term Byzantine when they were referring to the eastern parts of the Roman empire in order to differentiate between the two areas of the empire.
In its own time, the eastern part of the Roman empire was not renamed, the easterners considered and called themselves Roman, just as the westerners did. However historians renamed the eastern part of the empire the Byzantine, after the city of Byzantium.
The religion of the eastern empire was Orthodox Christianity.
Charlemagne's empire was called the Empire of the Roman People. This was rather inconvenient, because the East Roman Empire was still operating and WA also called the Empire of the Roman People. So today, historians call Charlemagne's empire the Carolingian Empire and the East Roman Empire of the Middle Ages is called the Byzantine Empire.
Historians use 476 as the conventional date for the fall of the Roman Empire. In that year the emperor of the western part of the Roman Empire, Romulus Augustus, was deposed.

He founded what historians call the Carolingian empire. Some people rather loosely refer to it as the Holy Roman Empire. It called itself the Empire of the Romans, which was confusing because it was not the only country of the time to do so.
They get the information from the writings of ancient Roman historians.

There is no founder of the eastern Roman empire. The Roman empire was divided into east and west by historians, not Romans. This was done for ease in relating events that occurred in either the west or the east. For example, when the western part of the empire fell to the barbarians, the Romans considered it a loss of territory, not a loss of half of an empire as some historians did.There is no founder of the eastern Roman empire.
