The Rise of Nations
Under feudalism, many small kingdoms ruled Europe.
That changed when England and France developed as nations in the 1100s and 1200s.
As kings gained power, individual lords and landowners lost the power they had under feudalism.
As the Middle Ages ended, so did the use of many monasteries across Europe – including this one in Yorkshire, England.

Feudalism was also weakened as populations declined in Europe due to war and the Black Death.
The Hundred Years’ War between England and France ended chivalry because weapons were developed which could pierce armor from a long distance.

12. B. The expansion of trade
What effect did the reopening of the Silk Roads have on Europe?
As the feudal system faded, cities throughout Europe continued to grow. This was due in large part to the expansion of trade and development of a strong merchant (middle) class. The main reason for the growth of trade was a gradual decline in warfare and invasion. As a result, traders once again felt safe to travel long distances.

13. B. The expansion of trade
What effect did the reopening of the Silk Roads have on Europe?
The Silk Roads Reopen
The most notable example of the return of long- distance trade was the reopening of the Silk Roads.
Silk Roads were an ancient trade route that connected Europe to China.
After the fall of Rome, many viewed the roads as too dangerous, so they got little use.
The rise of the Mongol Empire brought security to the region, which led to an increase in trade in the early 1200s.

14. B. The expansion of trade
What effect did the reopening of the Silk Roads have on Europe?
Marco Polo’s Travels
In 1271, an Italian trader named Marco Polo started a journey along the route, eventually reaching China.
After 24 years, Polo returned to Italy with tales of great riches from Asia.
The success of Polo’s journey encouraged European merchants to increase their trade with Asia. This growth of trade opened Europeans up to a host of new goods and ideas.

How did Marco Polo contribute to the growth of European trade?
He ended feudalism, which led to the growth of the middle class.
He opened the Silk Roads so that more people could trade across continents.
He traveled from Italy to China and told about his travels, which encouraged other Europeans to trade with Asia, too.
None of the above.
