Answer:

Because he wanted to strengthen the defense of the city.

Explanation:

  • Emperor Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire to the East in 324 AD, and this event marks the beginning of Byzantine history.
  • The emperor's motives for such an act were mostly military, for many of powerful  enemies - Persia (around the Euphrates),Germans (on the Danube) and German pirates in the Black Sea  posed a threat to the Eastern provinces, which were the most populous and richest part of the Roman Empire.
  • Constantine chose the ancient Greek colony - Byzantium, which had a great strategic position on the Bosphorus, as the new capital.
  • The official name of the new city was New Rome, but it was soon named Constantinople by its founder
  • Constantinople had an excellent natural harbor, surrounded on three sides by the sea, which contributed to security. Due to the increasing pressure of the various invaders, the emperors after  Constantine will build a complex system of triple city walls, which will resist the invaders until the fateful 1453.

never [62]

Answer:

This morning our commanding officer told us that today we were going to have to charge German lines. Last week when we met their line we suffered heavy casualties. The current officer we have now is considerably young. I am worried that today we will suffer again. We have constantly been on the edge of running out of supplies. No matter, I will continue to fight in hope of bringing this war to an end.

---After the charge on the trenches--

We were able to take the German trench. Though it seems to be abandoned of supplies. The fight was surprisingly short. We called in a artillery barrage that crippled two of their machine gun nest. I hope the future fights prove to be the easy. It does seem that the Germans have lost their morale or just don't have enough supplies to fighting.
