Question

what did vladimir, prince of kiev, do in 988 to help unify his people?
○ he converted to roman catholicism
○ he waged war against the byzantine empire
○ he ended his war against the byzantine empire
○ he converted to orthodox christianity

Explanation:

Vladimir of Kiev sought a unifying state religion to bind his diverse realm together. He rejected other faiths and chose Orthodox Christianity after emissaries described the Hagia Sophia's liturgy, converting in 988 and forcing his subjects to follow suit to unify the Kievan Rus' under a single religious identity. The other options are incorrect: he converted to Orthodox, not Roman Catholicism; he did not wage war against Byzantium to unify his people, and ending the war was not the unifying act itself.

Answer:

D. he converted to Orthodox Christianity
