The Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire.
If you are referring to the Roman empire, no one split it into two pieces or two parts. The emperor Diocletian divided it into four parts which was called the tetrarchy. It was later historians that gave the false impression that the empire was split.
It was the historians of the Middle Ages that first began using the terms eastern and western for parts of the Roman empire. This was not meant to give a false impression, but to clarify their positions and their theories on Roman life.
The Holy Roman Empire was also called Germany. Strictly speaking the two were not identical, as medieval people used the name Germany to mean places where German was spoken; some of these were not in the Holy Roman Empire and some parts of the Holy Roman Empire were not German speaking.
The reasons for the fall of the Roman empire can loosely be divided into two parts -- corruption and lethargy from within and pressures on the borders from without.
