Why did the eastern Roman Empire last so much longer than the western Roman empire?
>>
Because Rome fell victim to overspending, stretched military commitments, and increased incursions by semi-nomadic groups which were steadily pushed into Western Europe by stronger groups in Central Asia. People tend to forgot that there was mass westward migration in Eurasia between the First and Eighth Centuries. The Eastern Roman Empire (also known as the Byzantine Empire) maintained its stability and control over its capital while different semi-nomadic groups sacked or took control over Rome.

You have to remember that the Western and Eastern Roman Empires were bureaucratically separate entities.

Western Europeans love to be cucked by foreign invaders. So much so, modern Western Europeans are trying to make it their national pass-time.

You should also note the important fact that the Eastern half of the empire was MUCH richer than the western half and could thus support troops and bribes better. The only part of the Western empire that 'turned a profit' was North Africa.

This, and due to Emperor Leo I the eastern part of the empire was able to throw out the foreigners always trying to meddle as the power behind the throne. On the topic of foreigners too, the east never invited boatloads of them to settle within their borders.

Plus their borders were largely much more defensible than those of the west too.

Why is Western Han and Eastern Han considered the same empire, but western Rome and eastern Rome given different timelines and only considered contiguous by descendants of direct participants?

What the fuck are you even talking about, the Western Roman Empire lasted until 1806. That's over 350 years longer than its shitty pay debnts eastern cousin. It also didn't get cucked into oblivion by sea kikes.

Because the east had thousands of tax paying cities while the west had some wooden huts and corrupt senators all over the place.
