European rulers centralized power and controlled the nobility primarily through the establishment of strong centralized governments, often accompanied by bureaucracies that diminished the influence of local lords. They implemented legal reforms to establish royal courts that undermined noble jurisdictions and created standing armies to reduce reliance on feudal levies. Additionally, many rulers offered privileges and financial incentives to lower-ranking nobles and commoners, thereby building loyalty and reducing the power of the traditional aristocracy. This consolidation of power was often reinforced through marriage alliances and strategic diplomacy.
The Crusades primarily occurred from the late 11th to the late 13th centuries, with the last major Crusade ending in 1291. By the 1500s, the focus had shifted to other conflicts, such as the Ottoman Empire's expansion and the European wars of religion. During this period, local rulers, monarchs, and military leaders coordinated battles rather than a centralized authority orchestrating Crusades. Notable figures included European monarchs and the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, but the concept of Crusades as initially envisioned had largely faded.
European slave traders did not have to capture slaves in West Africa themselves because they established trade relationships with local African leaders and groups who conducted the capture and sale of slaves. These local intermediaries would often raid neighboring communities or conduct warfare to acquire captives, whom they sold to European traders in exchange for goods such as textiles, firearms, and alcohol. This system allowed European traders to profit from the slave trade without directly engaging in the violent and complex processes of capture and transportation.
European expansion led to significant consequences, including the widespread colonization of various regions, which often resulted in the exploitation and displacement of indigenous populations. It facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures, known as the Columbian Exchange, but also introduced diseases that devastated local communities. Economically, it contributed to the rise of European powers and the establishment of global trade networks, while also laying the groundwork for systemic inequalities and colonial legacies that persist today. Additionally, it sparked conflicts both among European nations and between colonizers and indigenous peoples.
There is an important difference between the colonial activities in the Americas in that period of time and the European settlements elsewhere in the world. It was only Spain and Portugal that set up colonies in the Americas then, and their motivation was mostly 'gold'. In order to get to the gold, they had to effectively control those lands, because the local population would not of course willingly start up mines and do backbreaking work there just to help the Spaniards get rich. In the East it was different: growing and trading spices was a long-established tradition there, and the Europeans just set up trading posts and made deals with local rulers with the aim to corner those local markets. Colonization in the sense of taking control of countries in Asia and Africa was a thing of a much later age. That 'colonial period' in those cases almost never lasted longer than the period between 1880 and 1960.
They created 20 provinces, each with a Persian provincial governor. These governors supervised the local rulers, provided internal and external security, and organised collection of taxes. The king and his council supervised the governors (satraps).
Both rulers and people benefited. Local rulers kept some power, and kings, in return,receivedtheir loyalty.

Yes, rulers can be recyclable, but it depends on the material they are made from. Plastic rulers may be recyclable if they are made from a type of plastic accepted by local recycling programs. Wooden rulers can often be composted or repurposed, while metal rulers are typically recyclable as scrap metal. Always check local recycling guidelines to ensure proper disposal.

During the medieval period, the commercial relationship between European rulers and private trading associations, such as merchant guilds and trading companies, was often symbiotic. Rulers provided protections, charters, and monopolies to these associations in exchange for economic benefits, including taxes and trade revenue. In turn, trading associations helped to bolster the local economy, expand trade routes, and enhance the ruler's influence and power. This partnership facilitated the growth of commerce and laid the groundwork for the emergence of a more interconnected European economy.
