What was the time period callen when the Roman Empire fell?

The period after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire is the Middle Ages. It is divided into Early Middle Ages (5th to 10th century) High Middle Ages (1001 to 1300) and Late Middle Ages (1300 to 1500). The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by the invasions by Germanic peoples which caused the western part of the Roman Empire to fall and continued to exist until 1453. Historians call the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part Byzantine Empire.


What core democratic value does the fall of the roman empire connect with?

The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire has nothing to do with democratic values. It fell under the strain of the invasions by germanic peoples who took over the empire and formed a number of separate kingdoms. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for another 1,000 years. Historians call the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part Byzantine Empire.


Who was the roman empire in the medieval ages?

During the medieval period, the empire called the Roman Empire was centered in Greece and covered only the eastern Mediterranean. It is the empire that we now call the Byzantine empire, to distinguish it from the ancient Roman Empire that was centered on Rome and Italy and came to encompass the entire Mediterranean, as well as lands well beyond.


How was Byzantine not an extension of the Roman Empire?

Okay, so the Roman empire was so big that it could not be ruled by one person affectively, so the empire was slip into two, the "Western Roman empire"and "Eastern Roman empire!" Long story short, the Western Roman empire fell apart after having a lot of bad rulers and Rome fell into the hands of a barbarian king. So basically the Eastern Roman empire could not call them self the Roman empire, as they didn't have control of Rome! So that's why they change the name to Byzantine empire! (Even though they changed the name, they were 100% Roman by blood and culture! )

It was not Rome which collapsed. It was the western part of the Roman Empire The conventional date set by historians for the end of the western part of the Roman Empire is 476. In this year the last emperor in the west, Romulus Augustus was deposed. The western part of the Roman Empire fell under the weight of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Historians call it Byzantine Empire.

The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania).

How did Charlemagne help the Romans?

Charlemagne did not help the Romans. He was around some 300 years after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. He helped the pope, who made him emperor of the Romans. Charlemagne created his own empire, which historians call Carolingian Empire, but was given the title of emperor of the Romans to symbolise the independence of western Europe and the papacy from the empire of the eastern Romans (also called Byzantines by historians). The eastern part of the Roman empire continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part of this empire. The eastern Roman emperors had been claiming of sovereignty over the city of Rome and the papacy.
