The eastern part of the Roman Empire fell in 1453 to the Ottoman Turks who took Constantinople. Prior to this the Eastern Roman Empire had gradually been loosing territory to successive invaders: the Arabs had taken the Middle East south of Turkey and Egypt, the Bulgars, Serbs and Croats had taken the Balkans and the Seljuk Turks had taken a big chunk of Turkey. The Ottoman Turks took over form the Seljuk Turks, completed the conquest of Turkey and dealt the final blow.

It wasn't only Diocletion that made the Roman Empire fall. It was caused by a multitude of things, SOME BEING:

1) There was a decline in military. People no longer wanted to support Rome and help fight for their city. They sent out slaves instead of going to war themselves.

2) The expansion of the empire caused it to suffer from inflation, and made it almost impossible for the leaders to govern Rome.

3) Then the tribes invaded and completed left Rome in the dust

What did the eastern roman empire eventually come?

The eastern part of the Roman Empire became the surviving part of the Roman Empire. It was not affected by the invasions by the Germanic peoples which led to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Historians have coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate this part of the empire after the fall of the western part. The people in question did not know this term and called their empire Roman Empire.
