Well, if you look at france in the late 1700s, Louis the xvi (16th) got his head sliced off because of his treatment to the commom people so that may a good indication on how people felt about monarchy even a hundred years prior. Many bad things lead up to a situation like that and it just doesn't happen over night. I am a history grad. and I could help you if need be. You can email me if you want.

All of them.\n\nBut more specifically it was much of the Iberian peninsula that is actually conquered by Arab and Berber Muslims, this starts almost eight centuries of Muslim presence there. Gaul (present day france) was also threatened\n\nChristianity and Europe were well into the Dark Ages (complete socio-economic collapse resulting in loss of technology and most centrelized government.) The Roman Empire was gone and many of the barbarian tribes that had moved into lands formerly held by the Romans were technologically inferior to the large religiously unifed forces of the Berbers.  \n\nA ruler named Charlemange who you may want to look up was responsible for unifying a relativly large area of Christian europe and halting the muslim advance.

From the fall of the Roman Empire to the Renascence.  It has been broken into smaller periods by different historians.\n\nFrom about 300 to 500 AD the great migrations of peoples into and through Europe lead to the end of the Pax Romana and the beginnings of the medieval ages.  From then until about 800 AD and the rule of Charlemagne was often called the Dark Ages.\n\nFrom about 800 AD to 1000 AD, the power of the Church increased and lead to Latin becoming a language for scholars and trade across most of the continent.  The next 300 years or so, which are often called the High Middle Ages saw the building of cathedrals,  an increase in trade and the beginnings of the Crusades.\n\nFrom 1300 AD to the Renaissance is considered the Late Middle Ages ushering a decline in the feudal power of the land holders and a rise of the merchants.

No.  There are like 1000 years of difference.\n\nAlexander the Great\n\nAlexander was born on 356 B.C. He was born in Pella the ancient capital of Macedonia, was the son of Philip II, king of Macedonia, and of Olympias, a princess of Epirus. His tutor was Aristotle, who trained him in rhetoric and literature and stimulated his interest in science, medicine and philosophy. \n\n\nUnfortunately in the summer of 336 B.C. his father was assassinated and he ascended to the Macedainian throne. Also unfortunate was that by that time he found his empire in disorder. He had enemies all over, in home and people threatening rebellion abroad. He did quickly deal with this by killing all of the threats and restoring order to his small empire. Then he restored order to Thessaly which had attempted independence. Before the end of summer he had reestablished his position in Greece and was elected by a congress of states at Corinth. \n\nIn 335B.C. as general of the Greeks in a campaign against the Persians, originally planned by his father, he carried out a successful campaign against the defeating Thracains, penetrating to the Danube River. On his return he crushed in a single week the threatening Illyrians and then hastened to Thebes, which had revolted. He took the city by storm and razed it, sparing only the temples of the gods and the houses of the Greek lyric poet Pindar, and selling the surviving inhabitants, about 8000 in number, into slavery. Alexander's promptness in crushing the revolt of Thebes brought the other Greek states into instant and abject submission. \n\n\nAs you can see Alexander had started his way to being a great and powerful ruler. It is said that while visiting Athens to seal a pact, Alexander visited the Oracle at Delphi, despite it being a day when prophecy was forbidden . \n\nThe story continues but look it in the history books.\n\nAlejandro Magno on the other hand is better know in english as Charlemagne lived from 742?—814, and was emperor of the West (800—814), Carolingian king of the Franks (768—814). \n\nElder son of Pepin the Short and a grandson of Charles Martel, Charlemagne shared with his brother Carloman in the succession to his father's kingdom. At Carloman's death (771), young Charlemagne annexed his brother's lands, disinheriting Carloman's two young sons, who fled with their mother to the court of Desiderius, king of the Lombards. When Desiderius conquered part of the papal lands and attempted to force Pope Adrian I to recognize Carloman's sons, Charlemagne intervened (773) on the side of the pope and defeated the Lombards. At Rome, Charlemagne was received by Adrian as patrician of the Romans (a title he had received with his father in 754), and he confirmed his father's donation to the Holy See. Shortly afterward he took Pavia, the Lombard capital, and assumed the iron crown of the Lombard kings of Italy.\n\nIn 778 he invaded Spain, hoping to take advantage of civil war among the Muslim rulers of that kingdom, but was repulsed at Zaragoza. In later campaigns conducted by local counts, Barcelona was captured (801) and a frontier established beyond the Pyrenees. Charlemagne's struggle with the pagan Saxons, whose greatest leader was Widukind, lasted from 772 until 804. By dint of forced conversions, wholesale massacres, and the transportation of thousands of Saxons to the interior of the Frankish kingdom, Charlemagne made his domination over Saxony complete. In 788 he annexed the semi-independent duchy of Bavaria, after deposing its duke, Tassilo. He also warred successfully against the Avars and the Slavs, establishing a frontier south of the Danube.\n\nEmperor of the West\n\nIn 799 the new pope, Leo III, threatened with deposition by the Romans, appealed to Charlemagne. Charlemagne hastened to Rome to support Leo, and on Christmas Day, 800, was crowned emperor by the pope. His coronation legitimized Charlemagne's rule over the former Roman empire in W Euro

There are pros and cons.

There was a time in European history where the Church held absolute sway in the appointment and endorsement of political rulers, as well as their own "police force" of inquisitors where free-thinkers and political opponents were burned, tortured, and murdered.  Wars were repeatedely fought against the Muslim in Muslim lands to distract and divide the folks at home and to keep the people militarized and the money flowing into the coffers of the tyrannical kings.  This period was affectionately known as "The Dark Ages" and "Medievel Age" appropriately.  Woe betide the man who willfully repeats disastrous history.

Pretty bad!\n1.3 million dead young men, 1.4 million birth that didn't happen - the country population went down from 40 to 39 million, even with the (re)added Alsace and Moselle. The country worst affected by the conflict (apart from Serbia). One fourth of the country is destroyed (including the mines of the north area, very important at the time, flooded by retiring Germans).\nA huge war debt (mainly to the US).\nFor few years, until the early 1930's, the illusion, prestige and political power of the winner (being the main terrestrial army in the winning camp), new colonies or protectorates (Syria and Lebanon from the Ottoman Empire, Togo, part of Congo, part of Cameroon from Germany).\nMany people wanting "never that to happen again".\nBooming economy in the 20's with a strong immigration (mainly Italian and Polish, 2.9 million immigrants in 1931).

In the Middle Ages, believe it or not, "Poor" was not a clearly defined concept. The fuedal system meant that [by and large] everyone had a useful role in society. It is not until people were redundent that poverty became an issue.\n\nSome answers seem to think the Middle Ages and The Middle of the second Millenium are the same thing. They are not. The Middle Ages is the period in Europe between the fall of the Roman Empire about 750ad to about 1500ad The Middle Ages had finished by 1600

Charlemagne (742 or 747 – 28 January 814) (also Charles the Great[1]; from Latin, Carolus Magnus or Karolus Magnus), son of King Pippin the Short and Bertrada of Laon, was the king of the Franks from 768 to 814 and king of the Lombards from 774 to 814. He was crowned Imperator Augustus in Rome on Christmas Day, 800 by Pope Leo III and is therefore regarded as the founder of the Holy Roman Empire (as Charles I). Through military conquest and defence, he solidified and expanded his realm to cover most of Western Europe.Sometimes Charlemagne is described as the Father of Europe. His was the first truly imperial power in the West since the fall of Rome.
