Question

what germanic kingdom provided a unified government after the fall of rome,spread christianity,and stopped the expansion of islam in europe?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

Germanic king Odoacer defeated Romulus Augustus, the last Roman emperor and conquered the western part of the Roman empire.  

EXPLANATION:

• After the fall of Rome in 476 CE, it was divided into two parts: the Western part and the Eastern part.

• The Western part was taken over by the Germanic kingdom as Odoacer their ruler and the Eastern part was held together by the Byzantine kingdom.

• Constantinople was chosen as the "new capital of the Byzantine kingdom". Christianity flourished after the "fall of Rome" though it was not a widespread religion before the fall.

• The expansion of Christianity was a consequence of legalization of Christianity in the Byzantine empire and this led to the decrease in number or people practicing Islam.

• Hence, Christianity became a religion of the majority rather than earlier being a religion of a small minority.
