Rome split primarily due to administrative, military, and economic challenges that made it difficult to govern the vast empire effectively. In the late 3rd century AD, Emperor Diocletian divided the empire into the Eastern and Western Roman Empires to improve management and defense. This division became more permanent after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD, while the Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire, continued to thrive for nearly another thousand years. Additionally, cultural and political differences between the two regions contributed to the split.
