Detailed explanation-1: -Physical geography shaped Europe’s development. The continent of Europe is a huge peninsula, with many smaller peninsulas branching out from it. As a result, most land in Europe lies within 300 miles (483 km) of a seacoast. This encouraged trade and helped the European economy to grow.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Manor System refers to a system of agricultural estates in the Middle Ages, owned by a Lord and run by serfs or peasants. The Lords provided safety and protection from outside threats and the serfs or peasants provided labor to run the manor.
Detailed explanation-3: -The purpose of the Manor System was to organize society and to create agricultural goods. For instance, the feudal lord of the manor was responsible for providing wealth and assistance to higher lords or the monarchy, while peasants (or serfs) were responsible for working on the land of the feudal lord.
Detailed explanation-4: -The fundamental characteristic of the manorial system was economic-the peasants held land from the lord (Fr. seigneur) of an estate in return for fixed dues in kind, money, and services. The manorial system prevailed in France, England, Germany, Spain, and Italy and far into Eastern Europe.
