The Emergence of Europe In the Early Middle Ages: The Germanic Tribes, the Roman Legacy, and the Christian Church Marina Lundstrom History 114 – Western Civilization & The World I Due: November 8, 2014 After the fall of the Roman Empire around the fifth century, it took “hundreds of years” for the western part of Europe “to establish a new society.”1 The emergence of this new European civilization during a period known as the Early Middle Ages, included three major components: the

gladly spread (although mostly forced) their newfound knowledge upon those which they conquered. However, were it not for these lands (see: Southwest Asia, India, the Middle East), Europe may have never grown to prosperity. For a large chunk of its history, Europe was a “backwash.” For example, the population of Europe in its entirety was roughly 60 million in the year 1100. In contrast, the population of only the Song Dynasty in China was “100 million people” at the same time.

In the 1300s’ the black plague struck parts of Asia, Europe and parts of northern Africa. Many people believed that this was an act of God, and it disrupted the growth of the people of Europe. This was big on the Church because priests left their duties, and the Church was on the decline. Although there were many ways the church was on the decline, the black plague is the main reason. The priests abandoned their duties, many people suffered, and the church became richer. Therefore, I believe the

Black Sea, and most of the sailors did not make it. This is when the Black Death arrived in Europe. Those who arrived on the ships were either dead or gravely ill. They were covered in black boils that oozed, they had fevers, they were in excruciating pain that caused delirium, and there was no hope for them. The authorities ordered for the ships to be sent away, but it was too late. In the next five years, Europe would see almost one third of the continents population stolen by the “Black Death”. Europeans

caused chaos for the people that lived around the battlefields. Loved ones can die, property can be destroyed, and all order can be lost. In the past few years, war in the Middle East has caused a massive amount of refugees to seek a place to live in Europe. The effect that the migrants have had on European countries (mostly syrian refugees) is negative because of their impact on the daily lives of the locals, the countless amount of funds that countries have spent to try to integrate them into society

In the contemporary world, across several countries in Europe, there is a common perception that multiculturalism has failed in public and political discourse. Europe has not been immune to these rising global anxieties and local debates. Many authors’ attempted several competing definitions to define the term “Multiculturalism” to characterize an ethnically diverse society and to explain the methodology in terms of policy and philosophy to organize that society (Malik, 2005).

“Should we talk about this as a revolution?” (Ash. p. 113). This question became an common discussion of topic throughout the entire essence of the fall of Communism within the countries of Eastern Europe. Though there were many small and large countries that saw Communism fall in the later 1980s, journalist Timothy Ash informs of four specific revolutions that occurred in Warsaw, Budapest, Berlin and Prague. Two specific ones that modern historians often recall are the revolutions that occurred

through religion. They said that the age of exploration was a usefully way to convert many people and save them from hell. This was an excuse to become one of the richest and most powerful empires of the World. The two politically powerful groups of Europe were Spain and Portugal. They were very developed and they sent money to the catholic church for the most part of the exploration age. Europe’s age of exploration was highly successful and they became one of the most important and influential

During the Medieval period through the 5th and 15th centuries in Europe, technology advancement in metal forming and extraction was becoming popular. The reason for this is because of the battles and empires in the time periods having the desires to expand and build up their military. To complete this task, an edge in iron working and metal forming had to be solidified as a strength for those wanting to further expand their countries boundaries. An example of this would be the Roman Empire. (Source)

In “Utopia, Utopia’s Neighbors, Utopia, and Europe,” Robert Shepard focuses on how the interactions of the Utopians with their neighbors are analogous with the effect More intended Utopia to have on Europe.
