Question

What was a RESULT of Justinian's attempt to reunite the eastern and western halves of the old Roman Empire? The effort was a complete failure. All of the western lands of the old empire became part of the Byzantine Empire. The attempt led to a return of prosperity to Rome and Italy. Italy and North Africa were conquered, but then lost to new invaders.

Answer 1

"Italy and North Africa were conquered but then lost to new invaders" The short victory was a bit of an illusion, however, because Justinian's efforts brough about endless conflict and terrible war.
