Charlemagne united most of Western Europe, including (all or part thereof) modern day France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands. He reigned as King of the Franks from 768 and Emperor of the Romans - a title given him by the Pope - from 800 until his death in 814, aged approximately 72, which was a very substantial age for the period.

Why did Charlemagnes empire not survive?
Under Frankish law, a kingdom did not pass to a single heir, but was distributed among the heirs. Under the Carolingian Empire, this was modified only to the point of having the empire go to a single heir, but there were numerous kingdoms controlled by different kings. The various kings quarrelled, and the overall emperor was only able to get support from his own kingdom, not from the empire as a whole, so the empire passed to a powerless state. Later, it was revived, but France remained separate from it; in this revived form, it was called the Holy Roman Empire.
Why did Charlemagnes empire dissolve after his death?
It did not really dissolve. It was - in complete accordance with the Frankish custom of the time - divided between his three sons.

Only the third part (in the middle) more or less 'dissolved' over time into a number of Principalities that linked themselves to either France or to the Holy Roman Empire.
