In Western Europe the Germanic invaders fought each other over lands. Eventually, the Kingdom of the Visigoths in Spain and the Kingdom of the Vandals in Africa were formed. The Franks took over the whole of France (at the expense of two other Germanic kingdoms) and central and southern Germany. Later, the Franks formed the Carolingian empire which covered continental Western Europe except for Scandinavia, Portugal and most of Spain. Because. following Germanic tradition, the empire was partitioned between the sons of the emperors, there were continuous power struggles between these brothers. This continuous fighting led feudalism.

How did the collapse of central authority have continuing effects on western Europe?

The collapse of central authority in Western Europe, particularly following the fall of the Roman Empire, led to the fragmentation of political power and the rise of feudalism. This decentralization resulted in local lords gaining control over territories, creating a patchwork of competing states and allegiances. The lack of a unified authority hindered trade and economic growth, while also fostering a culture of localism and regional identity. These effects laid the groundwork for the eventual emergence of nation-states and the political landscape of Europe in the subsequent centuries.
