The Transcontinental Railroad was a railroad line through the United States that united the city of Omaha, Nebraska, with Sacramento in the 1860s, thus uniting the Eastern rail network of the United States with California, on the Pacific coast.

It ended with the famous Golden Spike ceremony held on May 10, 1869 in Promontory, Utah, creating a nationwide mechanized transportation network that revolutionized the population and economy of the American West.

This railroad was considered the greatest American technological achievement of the 19th century. It served as a vital link for industry, commerce and travel, uniting the East and West halves of the United States, and creating new settlements in the West.

Describe the major effects of the fall of Rome on both eastern and Western Europe

evablogger [386]

The major effects of the fall of Rome on both Eastern and Western Europe were different because only Western Europe was mainly affected by the fall. However, Eastern Europe didn't experience relevant changes since they were protected by the Byzantines.

<u>These were the main changes in Europe:</u>

Western Europe

The main problem was the loss of economic as well as technological progress because there weren't any Roman armies and tax collectors. Moreover, they began being more influenced by Germanic confederations and stopped having a strong influence of the Mediterranean (even though Christianity brought by the Roman empire was still very strong).

Eastern Europe

They didn't have many differences because there was a big part of the Roman Empire that was still under the Byzantine Empire. Consequently, they lived well and had important trade routes and connections to the outside world.
