How do you think the splitting of the empire into two parts helped it survive for another 200 years?
Solution
VerifiedNote: This is an opinion question and final answers may vary.
First, we must understand the details of the empire splitting. According to the text, economic turmoil and political unrest were causing the empire to crumble. A new leader named Diocletian took charge and decided to split the empire.
The text also states, "Diocletian believed that the empire had grown too large and too complex for one ruler. In perhaps his most significant reform, he divided the empire into the Greek- speaking East (Greece, Anatolia, Syria, and Egypt) and the Latin-speaking West (Italy, Gaul, Britain, and Spain). He took the eastern half for himself and appointed a co-ruler for the West. While Diocletian shared authority, he kept overall control. His half of the empire, the East, included most of the empire’s great cities and trade centers and was far wealthier than the West."
