Best Answer

As the Roman Republic transformed into the Roman Empire, it adopted various new economic policies where monetary taxation was replaced with direct requisitioning under the reign of Emperor Nero, where the Empire simply took whatever it needed from farmers and workers, while forcing them remain at their jobs and denying them the right to free employment in whatever trade they wished.

This system tied farmers and all their ancestors to pieces of land, while creating a predatory class of tax officials and other government authorities. In order to protect themselves from these officials, farmers aligned themselves with the estates of wealthy citizens. These estates furthered the economic despair by operating as 'closed systems', attempting to provide everything they needed internally while not trading at all with anyone.

After Roman rule collapsed, these estates persisted and their practices grew into what was called feudalism.

Did feudalism start in Europe?

This depends on the definition of feudalism. If feudalism is regarded is identical to manorialism, then it started in the places that had been parts of the West Roman Empire, when that empire fell, at the start of the middle ages. Another view of feudalism is that it is a medieval system for the control of relatively large countries with weak central governments, and by this definition, it started about four hundred years after the fall of the West Roman Empire, in France and the Holy Roman Empire with the division of the Carolingian empire.
