The End of the Middle Ages (national Geographic Global History)
by Compiled By The National Geographic Society
About This Novel
This book uses a wealth of archaeological discoveries, classical documents, historical pictures, maps and other materials to restore the late Middle Ages, a period of transformation of European society. Europe experienced many crises during this period. The Black Death caused a sharp decline in population and put agriculture into crisis; the financial market was turbulent; the Hundred Years War between Britain and France was turbulent; protest movements were prevalent... The crisis also spread to Central and Eastern Europe, and even the Byzantine Empire. At the same time, during this period, the state machinery was strengthened, the royal power became increasingly powerful, the military construction became professional, and trade expanded. Europe gradually emerged from the fog of the Middle Ages, and the seeds of the Renaissance and the Reformation began to sprout.
