Detailed explanation-1: -The disintegration of the Roman empire freed Europe from rule by a single power. Imperial monopolies provided peace and stability, but by seeking to preserve the status quo also tended to stifle experimentation and dissent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Over time, the east thrived, while the west declined. In fact, after the western part of the Roman Empire fell, the eastern half continued to exist as the Byzantine Empire for hundreds of years. Therefore, the “fall of Rome” really refers only to the fall of the western half of the Empire.
Detailed explanation-3: -After the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 CE, Europe experienced a period of instability and decline known as the Dark Ages or Early Middle Ages. The collapse of the Roman Empire led to a loss of centralized government, trade, and education, and Europe was plunged into a period of economic and cultural stagnation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Feudalism helped protect communities from the violence and warfare that broke out after the fall of Rome and the collapse of strong central government in Western Europe. Feudalism secured Western Europe’s society and kept out powerful invaders. Feudalism helped restore trade. Lords repaired bridges and roads.
Detailed explanation-5: -The consequence of the feudal system was the creation of very localised groups of communities which owed loyalty to a specific local lord who exercised absolute authority in his domain. As fiefs were often hereditary, a permanent class divide was established between those who had land and those who rented it.
