The eastern roman empire fell shortly after the western roman empire. t ) true f ) false

The correct answer is false.

It is false that the Eastern Roman Empire fell shortly after the Western Roman Empire.

The Eastern Roman Empire was known as the Byzantine Empire and started around 330 AD when Roman Emperor Constantine I moved the capital to Constantinople, the new Rome. The western Roman empire ended in 476 AD, but the Eastern Roman Empire continued until 1453 when the empire of Constantine XI was captured by the Ottomans.
