5/14/14 west civ notes

I got a 100% percent on my huge Rome test and now we are starting the dark ages
 
The Middle Ages: AKA The Dark Ages
  • The west part of Rome was struggling during this time
  • During this time welfare was more important then education and culture in the upper class
  • Cities in Rome ceased at being main trading centers
  • Roman institutions gradually stopped working
  • Missionary Monks brought Christianity and Roman traditions to peoples beyond the empires old frontiers
  • In the largest Germanic Kingdom kings ruled in partnership with warrior land owners and church leaders
  • On the east side Constantinople(the capital of eastern Rome) only ruled patch's of land in Europe and the state had become more Greek than Roman
  • The east side was also struggling and tried to contribute to the suffering west side of Rome
