In the 5th century CE, the Roman Empire in Europe collapsed, splitting into smaller kingdoms that were poorer and less advanced than the Roman had been. A huge Arabian arose in the middle East, which preserved and built on the knowledge of the ancient Greeks and Romans. In China and India, new empire discovered scientific advances that would not be matched in Europe for Hundreds of years.

THE FALL OF ROME(MEDIEVAL WORLD)

 In the 4th century CE, the Roman Empire split into east and west. The Western Empire, ruled from Rome, become weaker, as its armies could not defend against barbarian riders from Germany. By the end of the 4th century, it had lost much of its territory, and in 476 Ce, the last emperor of Rome lost his Throne.

The Eastern roman empire survived longer than the Western Empire. Emperor Justinian recaptured Italy and North Africa in the 6th century, but the empire was invaded by Muslim armies soon after. The Ottoman Turks conquered the empire's capital, Constantinople, in 1453.


Barbarian raiders

 In the medieval world by around 450 CE, barbarian tribes had set up kingdoms in land previously owned by the Romans. The new kings took up some Roman customs, such as giving out laws. 

The Holy Roman Empire

In Germany, Christian rulers took on the power and lands of the Western Roman empire, 400 years after it fell. In 800 CE, a king called Charlemagne crowned himself emperor and set about rebuilding a Christian empire in Europe. By 900, his empire had fallen apart, but ambitious German princes took on the title of Holy Emperor for centuries afterwards.Charlemagne conquered large areas of Europe before his death in 814. By 843, his empire had split into three kingdoms.
