The east was more wealthier beacuse he border was much smaller and Diocletian only had to hire less people making him save money. Also the eastern side had more places to trade with. On the western side there wasnt a lot of trading routes and there was more borders to cover making the western side harder to covor and the poorer side. -

Invasions & Collapse.
The Roman Empire had many things leading up to the fall of the empire. Some countries attacked and took over the western side but did not get the eastern side. Eastern stayed strong while the west went crumbling down. Some weak laws like a weak government, weak economy, weak military & not clear set of laws can make a empire crumble just like the Roman Empire did.
