World History & Geography Unit 2 IB Question: How and Why do societies fail or succeed? Chapter 8 The Rise of Europe, 500-1300

The “Fall” of Rome What cultural achievements made Rome great? Go to page 141 of the textbook. What could cause such a great civilization to collapse?

The Largest Extent of the Roman Empire What problems might arise from being so large?

Roman Empire in Crisis Political Problems Too many military generals overthrown by rival commanders 2. Social and Economic Problems High taxes on business & small farms Farmers forced to leave land and live and work for wealthy land owners on large estates

The End of Greatness: Can it be Prevented? Emperor Diocletian Divides Roman Empire to Maintain More Control Western Empire: many rulers responsible to Diocletian Eastern Empire: Diocletian rules alone

Rome Split in Two (Eastern Empire and Western Empire)

“New Rome,” 330 Emperor Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinople in the East Constantine was tolerant of Christians, which enabled the growth of Christianity

Barbarian Invasions, 4th-5th Centuries

The “Fall of Rome” This was not a dramatic collapse. This was “a long, slow process of change from one way of life to another.” In Italy, way of life was pretty much the same as before. Eastern Empire continues for another 1,000 years. German culture starts to dominate in Western Europe.

Causes for Rome’s Demise Take 10 minutes to look at the map on p.150, and read “The End of Greatness” on p. 151. While you are reading take notes on the causes for the demise of Rome. Look at military, political and economic, and social causes.

Military Causes for the demise of Rome. Army lacked discipline and training Germanic invasion Corrupt officials Mercenaries lacked loyalty Too big to protect Infighting among the generals

Political and Economic causes for Rome’s Demise Govt. became oppressive Loss of support from the common man Corrupt officials Co-emperors disagreement High taxes, inflation, Farmers abandon land

Social Causes for Rome’s Demise decline of values, patriotism, devotion to country Self obsessed nobles (upper class) Middle class got poorer

Middle Ages Middle Ages is the time period in Europe after the collapse of the Roman Empire 500-1500 AD Life for the average European was filled with death, destruction, lawlessness, and a lack of overall order in society Historians have labeled the early part of the Middle Ages as the Dark Age

Dark Ages During the Dark Ages, the main goal for the average European was survival and protection. Society declined due to lack of education and barbarian invasions. Middle Ages Art The concept of the overall decline in the lives of Europeans is best represented in artwork from the time period For each of the following pieces of artwork, describe what it reveals about the lives of Europeans during the Dark Ages
