Question

How did the Byzantine Empire form?

Answer 1

In the 3rd Century AD, the Roman Empire was divided into two halves, East and West. The Roman Emperor Constantine founded and built up the city of Constantinople as the Eastern capital of the Empire.
The Western half of the Roman empire crumbled and eventually fell apart in AD 476. But the Eastern half kept going for nearly 1000 more years as the Byzantine Empire.
