It was important for the Medieval people of the Middle Ages to preserve food in the summer to be eaten during during the winter months. Foods which could not be preserved were only eaten when they were in season. It was not economic to keep and feed animals during the winter so animals were slaughtered in the autumn. The meat during the Middle Ages was preserved in salt. Some historians believe that pepper was also used in food preservation during the Middle Ages, however pepper was even more expensive than salt that its use for such a purpose must have been extremely limited.

What was one of the ways that economic changes affected eurpoe durning the middle ages?
The rise of mercantilism was very important in the Late Middle Ages, and in many ways paved the way for the Renaissance. The Italian bankers, such as the Medicis, and the Northern European merchants who banded into the Hanseatic League, rivaled countries in power and authority. The Hanseatic League even had its own navy and separate treaties. This lead to the decline of the authority of the nobility, and to the decline in the authority of the Church, as it gave rise to a new and powerful middle class.
How did Hitler take over Europe in the first 2 years?
Hitler was able to take over Europe through strategic military strategies, such as the Lutwaffe (German Air Force), and through forceful invasions of countries within Europe. Even when nonaggression pacts were agreed upon between Hitler and Europe and the United States, his fingers where crossed and he basically took the benefits the pact gave him, but blew off all the terms that he was supposed to abide by. Hitler also attempted to extend his influence, keeping in mind their we're those that agreed in parallel with his hatred of Jews. Through military force and manipulation, Hitler was able to extend his presence through many parts of Eurpoe.
What would have happened if London had fallen to Hitler and Germany?
AnswerI assume by this question you mean to imply that operation Sealion, the planned German invasion of England in 1940, was successful.First, the invasion was really not feasible. Germany did not have the lift capability, air and sea, to sustain a major invasion of England. Yes, they might have gotten a toe hold or taken over some areas via paratroopers, but long term they could not logistically support the invasion.The best way to have beaten, or neutralized, England was via a blockade. This was certainly within Germany's capabilities. Largely kept secret by Allied censors, the German mining of English waters was very successful. More effort here, along with use of long distance aircraft to help the U Boats, and of course, more U boats, might have been enough to topple the Churchill government.Out right occupation of England though, was unlikely.Just for speculation, if by some miracle, German forces do take over England in 1940, the ramifications are gigantic. Look at what happened after France fell: Romania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Hungary all joined Germany (Yugoslavia then had a revolt and required pacification by German forces). Can you imagine what would have happened if England had fallen? The Soviets would have been agreeable to almost any negotiation that prevents war. They'd have given up territory, oil, moved troops back from the frontier...anything to prevent war with Germany. Likely Turkey joins the Axis. Partisans in France and Yugoslavia might consider their positions untenable, and stop or reduce activities. Germany would have been near invulnerable to air attack from the west, which greatly increases German war production. A successful amphibious assault on Europe by American/Commonwealth countries becomes nearly impossible (an English invasion almost certainly brings the USA into the war immediately, but to little early effect), since how could a large enough army to defeat 100 or so German divisions, with close to base air support, be supported across the Atlantic?Germany would be in a position to conclude the alignment of all of Europe, the middle east and north Africa into their empire (this being the ultimate goal of Hitler). Such an empire would possess economic and military resources second to none and would have presented the USA with a much more formidible cold war opponent than the Soviets.Since we are speculating: the invasion of England by German conventional forces, as stated, was not likely to be successful. IMO, the Germans needed to unleash their huge stockpile of chemical weapons to have a chance of success. They needed a major port for logistical purposes. Why not select Portsmouth or Southampton, pummel the city with nerve gas (the Germans had about half the world supply of chemical weapons, but never used any of them). German airforces were quite successful in dominating the English Channel, it was only when they went inland, over London, that losses piled up in Englands favor. With a major port, relatively intact (ie, not bombed to pieces), the Germans can be more optimistic about logistical support for a full invasion. Getting a dozen division ashore by the fall of 1940 probably tips the balance. Germany would be using air fields in England and thus have an even hand on flight distance to combat. The English would doubtless try repeatedly to stop the invasion via seapower, but massed air planes and shore batteries along with whatever the Germans could throw in with naval forces, would decimate English forces. It all hinges on the Germans taking a major port intact.
