WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Constantine I, also known as Constantine the Great, brought the Roman Empire back together after years of turmoil. For almost a century, powerful rivals had fought to control the empire, splitting it into two halves known as the Eastern and Western Empires. Constantine brought both halves together in 324 CE.

Detailed explanation-2: -Constantine is also remembered for reuniting the empire under one emperor. He had many victories in his time as emperor, including over the Franks and Alamanni (306–308), the Franks again (313–314), the Visigoths in 332 and the Sarmatians in 334.

Detailed explanation-3: -Constantine enacted another change that helped accelerate the fall of the Roman Empire. In 330 C.E., he split the empire into two parts: the western half centered in Rome and the eastern half centered in Constantinople, a city he named after himself.

Detailed explanation-4: -For 100 years, Rome experienced more divisions and in 395, it finally became The Western Empire and The Eastern Empire. This division changed Roman life and government forever. There were now two emperors in each half and they governed independently.

Detailed explanation-5: -Following his triumph, in 313 CE, Constantine and his co-emperor Licinius (who ruled the Roman East) issued the Edict of Milan, declaring Christianity one of the official imperial religions. Direct imperial support laid the strong foundation for the Christianization of the Empire and, eventually, the world.
