What types of governments formed in western Rome and Eastern Rome after the fall of the roman empire?
The Roman Empire fell under the weight of the invasions by the Germanic peoples who conquered all its territories except for Italy. They formed their own kingdoms: the Kingdom of the Vandals in northwestern Africa, the Visigoth Kingdom in southwestern France, Spain and Portugal, the Burgundian Kingdom in eastern France, and the Frankish Kingdom in Holland south of the river Rhine, Belgium and northern and central France. The Alemanni took over Lorraine (in northeastern France) and Switzerland. The Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians migrated to Britain in waves. Eventually they formed Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.
Zeno (reigned 425-491) the emperor of the eastern part of the Roman Empire sent Theodoric the Great, the king of the Ostrogoths, to take over Italy on his behalf to depose a usurper there. Theodoric established himself in Ravenna in northern Italy, let Rome be independent (it was governed by the senate) and wanted to restore the Roman Empire. A later eastern emperor, Justinian I (reigned 527-565) wanted to retake Italy and fought what the Gothic Wars against the Orstogoths. The eastern Romans eventually won, but then Italy was invaded by the Lombards who established the Lombard Kingdom which was mostly in northern Italy and had a duchy in central Italy and one in southern Italy. The Lombards did not take the city of Rome, which was never conquered.
The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for another 1,000 years. It continued to be ruled by an emperor. Historians have coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part is Byzantine Empire. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania).
The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by the emperor Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the western part, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west.

The splitting of the Roman Empire by Diocletian in 286 AD was primarily for administrative purposes. The tetrarchy system was introduced to share power and stabilize the empire. Diocletian ruled the eastern half while three other rulers (Maximian, Galerius, and Constantius Chlorus) ruled the western half, collectively known as the tetrarchs. This division eventually laid the foundation for the later division of the empire into Western and Eastern Roman Empires.
