Chapter 16 The Two Worlds of Christendom—Guided Reading Chapters 17 & 19: Europe in the Middle Ages Themes: In the interests of time and thematic coherence, it is desirable to combine chapter 16 (The Foundations of Christian Society in Western Europe) and chapter 19 (Western Europe during the High Middle Ages) and a bit of chapter 21 (Reaching Out: Cross-Cultural Interactions) into one unit. This combination will be much easier to manage than the Indian Ocean basin combination, however! Since western Europe is the last region in the investigations of post-classical empires in the eastern Hemisphere, it is a good time to let the students exercise their understandings of the post-classical themes of change and continuity. In post-classical western Europe, changes probably outnumbered the continuities from the classical Roman empire. The Christian/Roman Catholic Church was the only institution to survive the imperial collapse, and in many ways the papacy was the glue that held western Europeans together for half a millennium after the collapse. The other continuity was the constant invasions or migrations of nomadic peoples into western Europe from ca. 500 to ca. 1000. Around the end of the Common Era’s first millennium, a confluence of events brought peace and increasing prosperity to western Europeans. They began to reestablish larger political structures, reinvest in urban areas, and branch out from their self-sufficient economies into the hemisphere’s marketplaces again. The Roman Catholic Church began serious attempts to spread Catholicism into other regions of the hemisphere and came into conflict with the growing powers of the secular rulers.
