Today in class we were supposed to review for tomorrows test but Mr. Schick gave us a choice to not take it and made us vote for it. I was in conflict, I didn't know if I should or not but it didn't matter because the result was 19 to 3. So we are not going to take the test tomorrow but we will still have those questions on the final exam, which is next week. After we finished talking about those things we answered 5 questions from the text book. They were about Renaissance, art , patrons and bunch of terms it was the stuff that we had already go over in class before.

Middle Ages : medivial period, the gradual decline of the roman empire ushered in an era of european history. 1.Franks: germanic people that attack the weak rome monasteries : church built religious communities. secular: power involved in politics. Carolingian Dynasty: the family that ruled the franks Charlemagne : ruled franks 2.Germany adopting Christianity and the fact that it was the one and only religion. 3. it was the classical heritage of Rome, The beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church and the customs of several Germanic Tribes. these are the 3 things 4.disruption of trade, fall of cities, decline in education 5. expanded the role of Pope to include secular power as well as spiritual; used church money to build armies, repair roads and help the poor

the germanic barbarians barbarian war loads assimilated the rome culture and soon became the nobles and aristocrats The angles and saxons from denmark to germany invaded britian and assimilated the native britons most of the ango-saxons were converted to christianity in the 7th century. the most powerful germanic tribes was the franks but the real power lay with the mayor of the palace who were royal officials and nobles themselves from eastern empire to byzantium  the easter roman empire continued to be byzantıum plagues killed lots of people than we look at my city and that was it

Latin-speaking west, Rome tradition. AD 324 Constantine becomes emperor of two halves, and after his death Rome dıvıde back in to two. This time barbarian invaders overrun the empire's frontiers  That is it for Roman Empire (AD 476)

Today in class we saw how did Christianity went up and then how did Rome went down Before the battle of Milvian Bridge, Constantine had a vision about The Cross in the sky and the words "in the sign, conquer ". He ordered his troops to paint cross on their shields and then won the battle. Then 1 year later at 313 Christianity become legal and it continued to gain more power. By 380 it became the empire's official religion. Chi-Rho was the first 2 letters of ' Christ' in Greek. Decline of the Roman Empire While Christianity strengthens, Rome weakens. Military too weak to defend huge area Economy : to high taxes; widening gap between rich and poor; trade distrupted. Social : who cares about public affairs?; disloyalty; population decrease. Political : Division of the Empire (Constantine moved the capital to Byzantium) THE LAST EMPEROR WAS IN 476 A 14 YEAR OLD NAMED ROMULUS AUGUSTULUS.
