WESTERN EUROPESlide38
MEANWHILE IN WESTERN EUROPE….. ZE GERMANS AND ZE BARBARIANS RUN THE SHOWSlide39Slide40Slide41Slide42Slide43
THE OLD ROMAN EMPIRE WAS A MESSROME USED TO HAVE 1,000,000 PEOPLE. AFTER THE GERMAN AND THE VIKINGS MOVED IN, ROME ONLY HAD
10,000
PEOPLE
EUROPE LOST
25%
OF ITS POPULATION TO DISEASE, WAR AND THE PLAGUESlide44
Land under cultivation contracted, while forests, marshland, and wasteland expanded.
Urban
life too diminished sharply, as Europe reverted to a largely rural existence.
Public
buildings crumbled from lack of care
.
Outside
Italy, long-distance trade dried up as Roman roads deteriorated, and money exchange gave way to barter in many placesSlide45
LET’S KEEP SOME OF ROME:Now as leaders of their own kingdoms, the Germanic rulers
actively embraced
written Roman law, using fines and penalties to provide order and justice
in their new states in place of feuds and vendettas.Slide46Slide47Slide48Slide49Slide50
THE POPE STARTS TO PROCLAIM
“HOLY ROMAN EMPERORS”.
CHARLEGMANE
IS THE MOST FAMOUSSlide51
FEUDALISMSlide52
DEFINITIONS FROM THE AP PRINCETON REVIEW BOOKS:THE KING IS ON TOP!
LOCAL LORDS ARE UNDER HIM, AND THEY CONTROL LARGE PEICES OF LANDS
MANORS:
LARGE ESTATES THAT ARE SELF SUFFCIENT AND SEPARATE FROM THE OTHER LANDS
VASSALS:
KNIGHTS OR SMALLER LORDS WHO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO BIGGER LORDS
IN EXCHANGE FOR FIGHTING FOR THESE BIGGER LORDS, THESE VASSALS GOT A LITTLE BIT OF LAND OF THEIR OWN.Slide53
SERFS: THE PEASANTS WHO HAD TO WORK ON THE LAND. Slide54
THEY COULD BE BOUGHT OR SOLD WITH THE LAND.KIND OF LIKE SLAVERY BUT THEY COULD NOT BE WHIPPED AND COULD LIVE WITH THEIR FAMILIES. IN EXCHNAGE THEY GOT PROTECTION FROM THE LORD.Slide55Slide56
HOW DID EUROPEAN FEUDALISM TREAT WOMEN?LOWER CLASS WOMEN WERE TREATED LIKE ___________AND
UPPER CLASS WOMEN WERE TREATED LIKE ___________Slide57
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH BECOMES VERY POWERFUL AND VERY RICH
THE POPE
CARDINALS
BISHOPS
LOCAL PRIESTS
ENTIRE MONASTERIES
(STOPPED TREATING WOMEN WELL BUT CONTINUED TO HELP THE SICK.)Slide58
AND OF COURSE, THE POPE SENT OUT MISSIONARIES TO CONVERT THE REST OF EUROPE.MANY GERMANS AND VIKINGS HAD ALREADY BECOME CHRISTIAN. NOW THE REST OF EUREOP WOULD TOO!
WHY?
YOU WERE SEEN AS A BIG SHOT IF YOU WERE CHRISTIAN
JESUS COULD PERFORM MIRACLES, AND SO COULD THE BUDDHASlide59
DECEMEBER 25TH IS CHOSEN AS CHRISTMAS. WHY?Slide60
INVESTITURE CONFLICT: WHO’S GONNA APPOINT BISHOPS AND PRIESTS, THE POPE OR THE KINGS? “It is the will of the Creator,” declared the teaching of the Church, “that the higher shall always rule over the lower. Each individual and class should stay in its place [and] perform its tasks.”

By 1300, the forest cover of Europe had been reduced to about 20 percent of the land area. “I believe that the forest…covers the land to no purpose,” declared a German abbot, “and hold this to be an unbearable harm.Slide72Slide73
