The emperor Diocletian decided to divide it into western and eastern halves in A.D. 285 to make managing the empire easier. Competition between the leaders of the halves emerged and resulted in civil war, which ultimately led the general Constantine to unify the empire under his own rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rome was able to gain its empire in large part by extending some form of citizenship to many of the people it conquered. Military expansion drove economic development, bringing enslaved people and loot back to Rome, which in turn transformed the city of Rome and Roman culture.
