2. Cities abandoned• no longer center of trade / economy• Government collapsed
3. Population Shift• People were left without leadership• Fled to the country - grow their own food• Protect yourself
![Page 6: The Middle Ages: 500 – 1500 The Medieval Period Rise of the Middle Ages Decline of the Roman Empire](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052401/56649e035503460f94aee5ce/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Invasions of Germanic Peoples
4. Decline of learning• Germanic invaders could not read or write• priests and other church officials were the few that were
literate.• Knowledge of Greek and Roman culture – lost
5. Loss of common language– Different dialects of Latin

The Crusades
The Crusades were a series of military campaigns during the time of Medieval England against the Muslims of the Middle
East. In 1076, the Muslims had captured Jerusalem - the most holy of holy places for Christians. Jesus had been born in nearby
Bethlehem and Jesus had spent most of his life in Jerusalem. He was crucified on Calvary Hill, also in Jerusalem. There was
no more important place on Earth than Jerusalem for a true Christian which is why Christians called Jerusalem the "City of
God".
