The correct answer is the catholic church.
After Rome's fall, the people of Europe turned to catholic church for stability and guidance.
It is during this fall that catholic churches continued to grow because,
1. Christianity was being proclaimed for the religion of masses.
2. The churches were organized socially, economically, and politically.
Roman empire split and Theodosius were the events which made christianity grew rapidly. Some of the reasons for the fall of Rome included,
1. Invasion by Barbarian tribes.
2. Overreliance on slave labour and economic troubles.
3. The rise of eastern empire.

The great contribution to the understanding of the ancient civilization, these works give, through the descriptions of honor and struggle for the adopted ideals, with the prize for honor and virtue, glory. Dying without glory is a disaster. This can be seen through the Odyssey and the Trojan War described in Ilijad.
2. The geographical characteristics of the peninsula forced the Greeks to live in isolated communities. Ancient Greece consisted of many independent cities of the states. The cities were separated by mountains, hills and water. In such conditions there was no possibility of agriculture, or very little. That is why the ancient Greeks relied on the journey of the sea and thus contributed to the spread of Greek culture.
