The separation of the Christian church into western and Eastern was quite anticipated on the basis of these conflicts:
-Disagreements between churches. Churches could not find agreement either in rites, in politics or in culture.
-Disagreements in politics. The main problem of the conflict on the political ground was the antagonism between emperors of Byzantium and the Roman Paami.
-Disagreement in culture. The main problem in the cultural sphere was the difference between languages. So, in the east the main language was Greek, and in the West-Latin.

After Ferdinand and Isabella united the Castille-Leon and Aragon crowns in 1492 to form the Spanish kingdom, the Habsburgs took over the Spanish imperial throne in the early 1500s, at a time when the Habsburgs ruled the Holy Roman Empire (i.e., most of Germany, Austria, eastern France, Netherlands, Switzerland, northern Italy, Bohemia, "Royal" Hungary, as well as southern Italy (Sicily and Naples).

Under Philip II the Habsburg empire was split in two, with a Central European (Austria-based) half, and a Western European (Spanish) half. Unfortunately the Spanish wasted much of the vast amounts of money (in the form of silver) pouring into the Spanish treasury from Peru, mostly in fruitless wars trying to suppress Protestantism in Central and northern Europe, and by 1600 Dutch, French and English ships were intruding on Spanish imperial interests and establishing their own colonies. But for most of the 1500s, Spain was easily the world's premier military power.</span>
