What happened after the Roman Empire fell in the Eastern half of the Roman Empire?

Answer 1

The Roman Empire "fell" and became the Holy Roman Empire. Much of the strength of he Holy Roman Empire owes its beginings to Emperor Constantine who in 321 AD declared that he had seen a Cross over the noon sun. and heard a voice say, "Conquer with this." His immediate "conversion" resulted in him declaring all must woship Christ on Sunday, who had formerly worshiped the sun on Sunday. Christians and Jews who still observed the seventh day sabbath had been formerly put to death for worshipping on the Biblical sabbath of the 4th commandment, but now they began to see no distinction between worshiping on Sunday or the Sabbath. This resulted in much confusion and to this day the Roman church claims it is responsible for changing the day of worship to Sunday, even though it is not in The Bible. All the gods of the Roman pantheon were given the names of saints...ie, Venus is Mary, etc. And althought idol woship is forbidden in the 10 commandments the Roman churchs still has many images to this day which supplients believe have powers that are divine.

Answer 2

conditions were bad because Romans were deppresed and mad and upset and alot of Romans were out of work after the fall of rome and they were tight on money because the Romans had to rebuild homes and store and get new crops so it took them a while to get back on there feet. so i would haft to say rome was in a bad condition after the fall of rome.

Answer 3

The fall of the roman empire took time. Historians belive that 410 A.D. was the date when something major that made everyone think the roman empire fell happened. After the fall, rulers were not able to keep libarries, public bath areas, and major educational instsitutes.
Also, since roads were in very poor condition, goos were not exchanged or traded. The roman empire was doing "not so swell" at those times.

Answer 4

Most of the Romans stayed put. The very wealthy more than likely made their escape to the east, or else cooperated with the conquerors. The working class and the poor just continued on trying to make a living and feed their families. It was harder for them, as there was no longer any government subsidy to help them and no longer any government services such as baths and clean water fountains to keep disease at bay.

Answer 5

The question itself is a bit unclear, but here are several possible answers:

1. - After the fall of Rome itself in the late 5th Century, the "development" of Europe came to a relative halt (if not utter regression), lasting for some generations. Traditionalist history asserts (perhaps erroneously) that this "dark age" lasted until the Renaissance and the rebirth of classical (Greek and Roman) culture.

2. - The Byzantine Empire took up the Roman mantle, continuing the influence of the Empire for nearly a millennium.

3. - Western Europe was carved up into a vast number of small, locally-controlled Christian states, led by primarily Germanic tribes, which would ultimately give rise to the Feudal System that would dominate the Medieval period.

4. - The influence of Islam during the 7th century moved rapidly to fill the vacuum left by the by-then-complete dissolution of Roman structure, with much of the Mediterranean world including Greece, the Balkans, southern Italy, the northern African states, most of Spain, southern France, and more coming under Muslim rule, an expansion which would not formally end in the west until the rise of the Carolingian Empire (or rather its two catholic children, the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of France). This assumes a total look at Roman influence and includes the slow decline of the Byzantine Empire in its ability to hold back Turkish enterprise (by which it was eventually consumed in the early 15th century).

Actually the Turks didnt take the balkens until the late 1450's after they were finanlly able to defeat the Eastern Roman Empire. Yes i said it they wers not call the Byzantine Empire until many years after the fall of Constantinople even then is wasnt in a good way as the term had took on a new meaning deceitfull little Greeks.

Answer 6

When the western part of the Roman Empire fell, the Germanic peoples who had invaded it formed their own kingdoms in areas of this empire. The Vandals established a kingdom in north-western Africa, the Visigoths in Spain and south-western France and the Burgundians established one in Burgundy and Savoy in eastern France, while the Alemanni of southern Germany took over Alsace (in north-eastern France) and the Swiss plateau.

The group which increased gradually its power the most was the Franks. They had been allowed to settle in Holland south if the river Rhine by the Romans. They took over a Roman rump state in central Gaul (the Domain of Soissons) in 486, the territories of the Alemanni in 496- 506, the territory of the Visigoths in Gaul in 507 and the territory of the Burgundians in 533. Thus they formed the largest kingdom in Europe which covered the original Frankish lands in Central Germany, Southern Germany, Switzerland and most of Gaul. Later they expanded further, taking over the last territories in Gaul by 778 and Bavaria and Austria in 778.

Later still Charlemagne established the Carolingian empire. Pope Leo III gave him Italy and crowned him emperor in exchange for ending Lombards rule in Italy The then invaded northern Germany and a part of northern Spain in the early 9th century. Thus, the Franks eventually came to rule most of continental western Europe.

Answer 7

There are so many things that happened after the fall of Rome. There was confusion, lawlessness and disorder due to lack of proper leadership structures.

Answer 8

The Western Empire fell and the Eastern Empire continued as the Byzantium Empire.

Answer 9

After the fall of the western Roman empire Europe entered the period of time known as the Dark Ages, when most of western civilization's advancement came to a standstill.
