After the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe plunged into chaos, marked by disrepair, lack of money, and social disorder. For many years, people remained isolated in small villages, unaware of the world beyond. However, by 1100, Europe began to recover as feudalism established order and safety. Innovations in agriculture increased food production, while infrastructure improvements restored trade routes. With the enforcement of laws and a revival of commerce, towns flourished, and the use of money became common, marking a hopeful resurgence for the continent.
