Samuel de Champlain built a colony in Quebec he developed a fur trading post with the natives. He went on raids and was the first European to find Lake Champlain which he named for himself.
<span>:)he made triads with the natives in that area but then the natives turned on him and he killed them</span>
He did it because the empire was too big for one seat of administration to manage. Also the Easter (Greek) part of the empire resented the rule of the western (Latin) part of it, so this was also to appease the people of the eastern part of the empire.
<span>It's a misconception that Constantine "moved" the capital, he founded another one. </span>
<span>The effects aren't as clear cut though. </span>
<span>With now two capitals competing for resources and attention, one had to be neglected over time, and since Constantinople was the hub of all commerce from the Far East and the western world, Rome lost the prestige it once had. Also Rome. Population also was affected by this move, Byzantium (which ultimately became Constantinople) was just a village before Constantine had his "vision" to build another capital there, after the administrative workers and artisans and merchants moved there, Rome started to lose its intellectual population, leaving behind poor and uneducated people. </span>
<span>City taxes took a hit, since fewer and poorer people translated to less revenue there was less money to maintain the city. Also Rome was the seat of the Catholic Church which was competing for influence with the Emperor himself, so the government did it's best to isolate him. </span>
<span>But the more lasting effect was the ultimate separation of the Western (Latin) and Eastern (Greek) roman empires. This division precipitated the fall of the western half bringing with it the fall of civilization in Western Europe, bringing the Dark Ages and leaving the Church as the only beacon of civilization in Western Europe, which is why western science lagged behind eastern science. </span>
<span>But this also helped preserve the Roman Empire for a thousand more years, since like the old saying goes, Rome didn't fall, it's just moved. The Byzantine Empire lasted until 1456 thanks to the move made by Constantine more than a thousand years before. </span>
<span>There are more effects, but to analyze each and every one of them could fill up a book.</span>
