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>
Answer:
Explanation:
==================================================================
WESTERN ECONOMY
Part of the reason why the western economy was booming is because of America who had given money to the western countries and even allowed eastern countries to get some economic aid but were not allowed to due to the Soviet watching them like a hawk. I think it is known as the Marshall plan. Also, capitalism is another reason for the Western's economy as capitalism allows economic freedom, consumer choice, and economic growth.
==================================================================
EASTERN ECONOMY
Firstly, part of the reason why the eastern economy was not doing very well is due to them following the communist ideology where there are no social classes like upper and lower classes. This seemed like a very great idea on paper but in reality, it did not allow the Soviet economy to flourish as much as the communist. I also believe that it is also partly due to people escaping to the Western countries (like Allied-controlled Germany) as their country seemed well off compared to war-torn Soviet-controlled Germany.
