1. During the Middle Ages after the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century, cities in Western Europe became much smaller fortified settlements of around 15,000 inhabitants or less with an agricultural focus and few public buildings. They were designed to be easily defended from attacks.
2. Medieval cities functioned as fortified refuges surrounded by agricultural and forest lands. They also served as local market towns for their inhabitants and nearby peasants.
3. Boroughs originally referred to fortified castles built by feudal lords to defend their territory, but over time houses were built around these fortresses for security and merchants and craftsmen who paid lower taxes.Atlas of historical buildings - Europe Culture Hunt

The city of Santander, Spain has existed since Roman times over 2000 years ago when it was first established as "Portus Victoriae" due to its natural harbor resources. In the Middle Ages it grew into a fishing village and received a royal privilege in 1187 to attract traders and artisans. By the 14th century it had around 2000 residents and expanded north.

The document summarizes the decline and fall of the Ottoman Empire over several centuries. It began with the failed Siege of Vienna in 1529, which halted Ottoman expansion into central Europe. The naval defeat at Lepanto in 1571 ended Ottoman dominance at sea. Other factors included ineffective sultans, the rise of nationalist sentiments within subject territories, and increasing European imperialism and geopolitical interests in Ottoman lands. By the early 1900s, the Ottomans were weakened and in debt, leading to their alliance with Germany in World War 1 and the subsequent dissolution of the Ottoman Empire after defeat.Heraklion as a multicultural town

The document discusses the Ottoman Empire and the Muslim world after its collapse following World War 1. It describes the territories controlled by the Ottoman Empire, the reasons Turkey joined WW1, and the interests of major powers like Britain and Russia in the empire's dissolution. After the war, the Ottoman lands were divided among the Allied powers. New Muslim-majority states faced restrictions and instability without the empire's backing, while Turkey underwent secularization and financial sanctions under the Treaty of Lausanne. Recent initiatives by Turkey and Pakistan aim to promote Muslim unity and counter Islamophobia through joint media projects, military cooperation, and international advocacy.03 students works_1314_english_b1_landmarks_castle_of_rhodes

Augustus becomes the first Roman emperor in 27 BC, bringing stability after a period of civil war. The Roman Empire reaches its peak under Emperor Trajan. However, in the 3rd century, civil wars break out as generals vie for power, and Germanic tribes attack Roman towns. This instability is resolved under Emperors Diocletian and Constantine. Eventually, Germanic invasions and the division of the empire lead to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD, while the Eastern Empire survives as the Byzantine Empire for another 1,000 years. Kingdoms established by the Franks, Visigoths, and Ostrogoths replace the government of the Western Empire.Dutch

The Ottoman Empire originated from Turkish tribes migrating to Asia Minor between 1000-1200 AD. They converted to Islam and eventually replaced Arabic-speakers as rulers of Islamic kingdoms. By the 1200s, the Ottomans had risen to power in Asia Minor as local lords competed for control in the region between the declining Byzantine and Seljuk Empires. The Ottomans expanded their empire through military conquest, capturing Constantinople in 1453 and much of the Balkans. In its peak under Suleyman the Magnificent from 1520-1566, the Ottoman Empire spanned Europe, Asia Minor, and parts of Arabia.Kom¨¢rno prz.

Early medieval art in Western Europe included castles, cathedrals, and illuminated manuscripts. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Catholic Church was the main patron of the arts. Monks preserved classical knowledge by hand-copying manuscripts in monasteries. Under Charlemagne's rule in the 9th century, many monasteries and schools were established, helping to bring about a cultural revival. The feudal system that emerged emphasized land ownership and protection, leading to the rise of fortified castles and walled cities. Romanesque architecture featured thick walls, barrel vaults, and relief sculptures that taught biblical stories to the illiterate.Ottoman and Hungarian Wars

The Ottoman¨CHungarian wars were a series of battles between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary from the 14th to 16th centuries. As the Ottoman Empire expanded into Southeast Europe following their defeat of Serbia at the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, they increasingly came into conflict with Hungary over territory. Major battles and campaigns included the Crusade of Varna in 1444, where a Christian coalition was defeated despite Hungarian forces led by John Hunyadi, and the decisive defeat of Hungary at Moh¨¢cs in 1526, which partitioned the Hungarian kingdom and led to further Ottoman expansion into Central Europe. The wars continued between the Hungarians and their Habsburg allies against the Ottoman Empire into the 16th century.

Tower of LondonNelli Hambardzumyan
?
The Tower of London was originally built by William the Conqueror as a fortress to control rebellious Londoners after the Norman invasion. Over the centuries, it was expanded upon by many monarchs and transformed into a complex containing palaces, barracks, and prisons. The oldest and most prominent structure is the White Tower, built by William around 1078. Other notable buildings include the Bloody Tower, site of the alleged murder of the Princes in the Tower, and Traitor's Gate, where prisoners arrived by boat. The Tower has housed the Crown Jewels and been used variously as a royal residence, mint, observatory, and high-security prison.History of Prague - MEDIEVAL

Romanesque art developed between the 10th and 12th centuries across Catholic Europe. It combined features of Roman and Byzantine architecture with local traditions, known for thick walls, round arches, and symmetrical plans. Sculpture flourished during this period, seen on church portals depicting religious scenes. The Holy Roman Empire saw the spread of pre-Romanesque and Romanesque architectural styles, as well as illuminated manuscripts and Gothic art emerging later on. Major sites included Cluny Abbey in France, which grew to massive scale, and Cistercian monasteries known for pure styles that influenced Gothic architecture. Regional variations in materials and influences resulted in diverse expressions of Romanesque art across Europe.9h middleages

After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Europe entered a period of decline known as the Middle Ages. Three groups contributed to the emergence of a new civilization: the Romans through their legacy of laws and infrastructure; the Christian Church which spread across Europe and established a hierarchical organization; and Germanic tribes which established new kingdoms and introduced concepts of loyalty and family. Charlemagne later united much of Western Europe under the Carolingian Empire and was crowned by the Pope, representing the fusion of Roman, Christian and Germanic influences. However, his empire did not endure and Europe remained politically fragmented.

The document summarizes the emergence and expansion of Christian kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula following the Muslim conquest. New Christian states formed in the mountainous northern regions not controlled by Muslims. The Kingdom of Asturias was founded after Pelagius defeated Muslims at Covadonga in 722. Over subsequent centuries, the Kingdom of Asturias gradually extended its control south and west, changing its name to the Kingdom of Leon. Meanwhile, Christian states also formed in the Pyrenees region, including the Kingdom of Pamplona. By the 11th century, the Christian kingdoms of Castile, Aragon, and Portugal had taken shape and began pushing further south against Muslim rule in al-Andalus, takingVersione inglese norcia tra storia arte e gusto

The Royal Castle in Warsaw has historically been the official residence of Polish monarchs from the 16th century until Poland's partitions in the late 18th century. It has been repeatedly damaged during wars and occupied by foreign powers such as Sweden, Prussia, and Russia over the centuries. However, it was also the site where the May 3rd, 1791, Polish constitution was drafted. After World War 2, the castle was rebuilt after being devastated during the war. Today it operates as a museum and national monument commemorating Poland's royal heritage.Stories from the Carpathians
