Description

Modern Europe—European civilization, democracy, culture and art—are the result of centuries of development of European peoples and states. But where are the origins of modern Europe? The Middle Ages in Western Europe, which largely determined the entire later history of world civilization, were born in phenomenal conditions created by the meeting of worlds. One of them is the collapsing ancient civilization of the Roman Empire; the other is a young barbarian German world that seems completely wild, alien, and even hostile to Roman culture. But when they combined, something new began to take shape. A new picture of the world started to form.
