The Making of Europe
The Making of Europe: Conquest, Colonization and Cultural Change 950 - 1350 | Robert Bartlett
1 post | 1 read
A wave of internal conquest, settlement and economic growth took place in Europe during the High Middle Ages, which transformed it from a world of small separate communities into a network of powerful kingdoms with distinctive cultures. In this vivid and provocative book Robert Bartlett vividly shows how Europe was itself a product of colonization, as much as it was later a colonizer, and what this did to shape the continent and the world today.
