There were many contributions to the end of the European medieval period. The two major contributions were the decline in the church's power over the nation and the decline of the feudal system. In a feudal society, everyone has a specific job/role, with absolute power being given to the local lords. The local lords lost power which caused the feudal system to decline rapidly. Without a feudal system, Europe did not know how to react or what to do, and they came in contact with more advanced and powerful civilizations. Coming in contact with other civilizations led to more trade which was good for some civilians, but it really hurt the people who are higher up in social status and wealth. 4. In two paragraphs, describe the major contributions of classical Roman civilization, including its effects on political, religious or philosophical, and cultural life. Include a discussion of the concept of citizenship, the codification of laws, and how attitudes toward Christianity changed over time. Be sure to support your conclusions with evidence and organize your paragraphs clearly. (5 points) One of the major contributions of classical Roman civilization was architecture. The architecture in Rome was modern which was not popular for that time. Romans were the firsts to use concrete to build things and they discovered that it allowed for their designs and constructions to last longer and survive harsh conditions. Wood and dirt structured buildings would hold up for a while, but concrete was much more reliable and it gave more structure. Another major contribution of classical Roman Civilization was the government. Their government was influential to other countries around the world because their government was strong and successful. Roman senators represented large groups of people and they ran Rome. Alongside the senators, there were Emperors who “ruled” Rome, but they did not do it alone or with absolute power. Having multiple people in power allowed Rome to meet the needs of all people rather than doing what one person (the ruler) thinks is best. This stopped Rome from having a leader with too much power during his reign of Rome. 5. Briefly compare how the Ottoman and Safavid Empires treated the religious minorities they conquered.

(5 points) The Ottoman Empire conquered many people with the plan to convert them to believing in their religion. Those who chose to not change religions were treated less well and were looked down upon. They were given second-class treatment. The Ottoman Empire created the Janissary from Christians that they had captured who were given the choice to change their religion to Islam. There was a dispute over Muhammad’s succession which led to a massive rivalry between Sunni and Shi’a Muslims.
