There was a period of military anarchy which historians call the Crisis of the Third Century. Emperors were military commanders who were proclaimed by their own troops. These were challenged by other military commanders who were hailed emperors by their own troops. There was a lot of infighting. Most emperors were murdered, sometimes even by their own troops who had elevated them as emperors because they did not want to fight civil wars. There was also hyperinflation, which crippled trade and the economy. This situation was brought to an end and the empire recovered. However, it did not return to its previous prosperity.

There was only the Roman Empire. This is the only term the Romans had. Eastern Roman Empire and Western Roman Empire are terms invented by historians. What happened is that co-emperors were established, with one in the eastern part and the other in the western one. This was done to improve the defence of vast frontiers of the empire which were often under attack. One emperor concentrated on those in the west and the other on those in the east. Therefore, it cannot be said that the Eastern Roman Empire helped to unite an empire which was not divided.

One possibility would be the formation of the Holy Roman Empire (which was unfortunately neither Holy, Roman, nor an Empire).
The main reason for the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was the invasions by the Germanic peoples. These invaders and other Germanic peoples who had been allowed to settle in parts of the empire eventually took over all of its lands.
