What are two religions that came from the split of the Roman Empire. What did the East have and what did the West have?

The religion of the west was Latin Christianity (this was the original name of Roman Catholicism). The religion in the east was Orthodox Christianity. These were the two main versions of Christianity. There were many other versions as well, including Arianism, which was very popular in the Late Empire. The two mentioned religions opposed the other versions and worked to establish their dominance. This difference in the religions of the west and east already existed long before the empire split.

Is Berlin the capital of Poland?

Historically, Berlin was the capital of the Prussia for centuries. When Prussia led the unification of Germany, it was natural that the Prussian capital would become the capital of the newly unified country. After World War II, East Berlin remained the capital of East Germany, but it became unwieldy as a capital for West Germany because of its being an enclave in East German territory. However, when Germany reunified in 1989, Berlin was reinstated as the capital of a united Germany as a nod to the historical nature of the city.

How long has Berlin been the Capital of Germany?

No. Previously, Berlin was the capital of Prussia.Prior to Berlin, Germany as a whole did not have a capital city as it was split into several independent states, as opposed to today's unified nation.The Holy Roman Empire ruled over the land we now know as Germany during the Middle Ages and both Vienna (Austria) and Frankfurt (Germany) were considered as centralised cities.From 1949 to 1990, Germany was divided between East Germany (GDR) and West Germany, with the West German capital at Bonn.


In what country was the Berlin Wall located?

It separated East and West Germany ---------------- It separated, more exactly, East from West Berlin, the latter having been an enclave in what was previously East Germany. The much longer border between West and East Germany was also closely watched but it stretched over hundreds of kilometres and was not marked by a long wall. ----------------- Strictly speaking, West Berlin was not "an enclave in what was previously East Germany," since East Germany did not exist at the time the enclave was established. At the end of World War 2, Germany (which lost the war) was divided into four sectors, with responsibility for each given to one of the war's victors (USA, UK, France and the USSR). Berlin, the former German capital, was similarly divided into four sectors. In 1949, the US, French and British sectors were combined to form West Germany, with the corresponding sectors of Berlin (which were completely surrounded by the USSR-led sector of Germany) combining to form West Berlin. The Russian sector, including the Russian sector of Berlin, became East Germany. Contrary to what might have been expected, the Berlin Wall was not a defensive wall (i.e., it was not built by a defender to keep a potential invader out). Rather, it was more akin to a prison wall; it was built by East Germany to prevent East Germans from escaping to the West German enclave of West Berlin (a problem that had plagued the East German government prior to the Wall's construction), and was actually located completely within East German territory (although in most cases mere feet from the actual border).
