Did Constantine see Christianity as a unifying force in the Roman Empire?
True
What year did Constantine adapt the cross in Rome?
Constantine the Great did not adopt the cross.The tradition said that Constantine looked up to the sun before the battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD and saw a cross in the light and the Greek words for "by this you win". He then ordered his soldiers to put the Chi Rho, a Christian symbol (see below), not the cross, on their shields and won the battle.This episode did not constitute the adoption of the cross. Although after the battle Constantine ignored the sacrifices to the Roman gods which customarily followed a victory, he was careful to try to appease the Christian and pagan factions. The most important people in the empire and the military commanders were pagan. Constantine continued to observe Roman religion. He was keen on celebrating Apollo and the sun-god. He retained the title of Pontifex Maximus (the head of Roman state religion) throughout his life. The triumphal Arch of Constantine which celebrated his victory at the battle of the Milvian Bridge and which was dedicated in 315 AD bore pagan symbols and no Christian symbols. In 321 he instructed Christians and non-Christians to observe the venerable day of the sun, the day of the cult of sun-worship. Roman coins had pagan gods on them for 8 years after the battle. Even after that, Christian symbols appeared only as Constantine's personal attributes. The Chi Rho (not the cross) was between his hands or on his labarum (a military standard with the Chi Rho symbol on it) but never on the coins themselves.The "Chi-Rho" symbol ☧, formed from the first two Greek letters of the word "Christ. It was suited to symbolize the crucifixion of Christ.
Who was a great ruler that brought the roman empire to the maximum succes?
Please be more specific in your asking about success. Success in what area? There were several emperors who could be considered great, such as Augustus, Trajan and even Constantine. All these men had great success, Augustus in bringing peace and prosperity, Trajan in enlarging the empire and being scrupulously fair in his persecution of the Christians, and Constantine for moving the capitol to a place where the revenues were more likely to be collected for the state rather than a politician's pocket. As you can see, success covers a lot of territory and needs defining.

What is a chi-rho?
The Chi Rho is a symbol made up of the first two Greek letters that spell the name of Christ. It is an early Christian symbol allegedly seen by Constantine before his great battle at the Milivan Bridge. Constantine had the sign painted on the shields of his men and he went on to victory against the superior forces of his enemy. Convinced of Christ's power, Constantine thus put the sign upon the imperial standard. You can follow the link below to see the Chi Rho. The only problem with this answer is that the chi-rho symbol was around before Christianity, on the coins of Ptolemy lll Euergetes 246-222 BC. I have added a link to the coin.

Then, at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, Constantine saw a vision of a cross in the sky.

How did Constantine help with the expansion of the Church?
Constantine ended up as sole ruler over the Roman empire. On his way to conquer the city of Rome, he saw a sign in the sky in the form of Christ's cross, with the words, In Hoc Signo Vinces under it (in this sign you will conquer). After the eastern emperor died and Constantine became the sole ruler of the empire, he removed the laws making Christianity illegal and eventually made it the sole religion of the Roman empire. Constantine, himself, did not convert until his death bed, but he made Christianity legal, and used it to unify his empire. See link below.

What happened in the battle of coral sea?
I am not an expert on the Battle of Coral Sea so I have chosen to give you links (see below) to sites that have great explanations of the Battle. I do know it was one heavy duty battle and I am glad I was not there! My Step-dad was there and he did not like to talk about it.
