True
False

Correct Answer

A. False

The statement is false because the main conflict from 1000 to 1400 was not the power struggle between the monarchies and the Parliaments. During this time period, the main conflicts were centered around the Crusades, the Hundred Years' War, and various other wars and conflicts between different kingdoms and empires.

Control of the Pope.

Correct Answer

A. The region in the middle east that is thought to be the Holy Land.

Explanation

During the Crusades, the main reason for the fighting was the control over the region in the Middle East that is believed to be the Holy Land. The Crusaders, who were primarily European Christians, aimed to regain control of this region, including Jerusalem, from the Muslim forces that had taken over. The Holy Land held great religious significance for Christians, as it was the land where Jesus Christ had lived and died. Therefore, the Crusades were driven by religious motivations and the desire to reclaim this important territory.

What is one thing that helped revive trade in the Middle Ages

Better trading boats
Everyone began to learn to read and write
Coins
Better crops

Correct Answer

A. Coins

Explanation

Coins helped revive trade in the Middle Ages because they provided a standardized form of currency that was widely accepted and easily portable. Prior to the use of coins, trade relied on bartering or the exchange of goods and services, which could be cumbersome and inefficient. Coins allowed for a more efficient and convenient means of conducting transactions, stimulating economic activity and facilitating the growth of trade networks. The use of coins also helped to establish trust and confidence in the value of goods and services exchanged, further promoting trade and economic development.

Lords granted land (fiefs) to lower lords and knights for military service

True
False

Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

In the feudal system, lords would grant land, known as fiefs, to lower lords and knights in exchange for their military service. This was a way for the lords to ensure they had a loyal and capable fighting force to protect their land and interests. The lower lords and knights would then become vassals of the higher lords, swearing an oath of loyalty and providing military support when needed. This system of land grants for military service was a fundamental aspect of feudal society.
