Many great European powers had been exploiting China's weak economic system to enforce their own trade regulations for years. The United States simply wanted to join the fray, so the Open Door notes were sent to the European powers basically stating, "Hey, you guys can't own all of China, make sure that all countries get to trade equally with them."
Just as a side note, the Open Door policy with China was extremely hypocritical for the United States, as the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 basically stated that none of the European powers could interfere with the Western Hemisphere... While no one was allowed to touch the Americas, the United States was apparently allowed to mess with the rest of the world.
The separation of the Christian church into western and Eastern was quite anticipated on the basis of these conflicts:

-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. In other words, to read each other's literature, people were looking for translations, otherwise,they were fond of different books.
