It cannot really be said that they were alike or unlike because they were not spearate empires. Western and Eastern Empre are terms coined by modern historians. West and east were administrative subunits of one empire. Their main purpose was to improve the defences of the vast borders of the empire which suffered attacks all the way from France to Syria. There were co-emrerors who were in charge of one of the two units each and at times there was just one emeror.
The empire is considered to have become split between west and east when Theodosius I (reigned 379 to 395), who ruled the whole empire alone, gave the west and the east to this two sons. This is becasue the the west soon disintergrated under the weight the Germanic invasions and infighting, and was often a puppet of the east.

What were some of the positive effects of the crusades on europeans?
One of the positive effects of the crusades were the advances in medicine that knights saw in their Arab and Persian opponents and brought back to Western Europe. It was not uncommon for an Arab to join a train of a Crusaders in their return to Europe; once there, he would teach some of his mysteries of healing to the doctors of the West. Additionally, when Crusaders came into Jerusalem in 1099, they found the beginnings of a hospice for Christian pilgrims and Moslems alike which had been bankrolled by some merchants from Naples. These knights began to help them, and after requesting approval from the Church, they received a "Papal Bull" recognizing them as an official order in 1113. The Knights Hospitallar, became a religious/monastic/ military order (counterintuitive, but true) and then re-built, administered, maintained and defended a hospital in Jerusalem which had been built in 600 by the Church to care for ailing pilgrims who were visiting the Holy Land in the 1080. They opened another hospice in Rhodes in the 14th century. We owe the church-run hospital movement and the hospice movement to the Crusades because it combined the superb Eastern science and medical skills with the ministry of healing that was part of the early church's original mandate (see Matthew 9:35, 4:23). Another is that the Crusades brought the western world into contact with eastern and oriental culture and intellect, which laid the groundwork for the Renaissance. To the Arabs we owe our "Arabic" system of numbers (as opposed to the clumsy Roman figures), as well as decimal notation. Architecture, literature, geography, medicine, arithmetic-all those branches of knowledge which distinguish the educated from the uneducated may be traced back to the incredible intellect of the East, and they were claimed by the West during the Crusades. Finally, is the great unifying effect that the Crusades had upon Europe. The European leaders were so busy fighting the East, they did not have time or money to engage one another in combat. Additionally, there are some that believe that even the church itself was saved from "in-fighting" and other similar horrors because of its outward focus on the Crusades. It seems horrible to admit, but the Western World is absolutely what it is today- better off in every way- spiritually, mentally and , physically- because of the Crusades. We owe much to the people that were cruelly slaughtered; may they be at peace. T.B. Dickerson

How did the crusades contribute to the end of the feudal period?
It cost a lot of money to the kings and queens that were running the crusades, and castles took a decline from all the sieges. It also caused towns to spring up and vassals, serfs and freeman alike ran to the towns, giving the lords the need to hire mercenary armies.

How are the Roman and Byzantine Empires alike?
During the latter part of the history of the Roman Empire, it was divided for administrative purposes into eastern and western halves. The western half was overrun by the Goths in the 5th century, but the eastern half continued to exist until the Turks finally conquered it in the 15th century. The eastern half of the Roman Empire evolved into what we call the Byzantine Empire, inheriting all the Roman Empire's practices and customs. The main change was that Greek (replacing Latin) gradually became the official langauge. So, the Byzantine Empire is the continuation of the eastern half of the Roman Empire.
