I'm assuming you are referring to the Dark Ages and not today. Western Europe was shut into isolationism after the fall of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire ruled over Western Europe for 1,000 years and it collapsed, leaving Western Europe confused and disadvantaged. The fall of Rome was brought upon and succeeded by Barbarians, who were terrifying people. After the fall of Rome, Europe was shut into darkness, where Europeans were basically living and dying within a few miles of where they were born. It wouldn't be until the voyage of Marco Polo that Europe would flourish once again.

Why did town life decline after the fal lof the Western Roman Empire?
It was due to a decline in trade and manufacturing. Many towns prospered on manufacturing and trade. This decline had already started in the later days of the Roman Empire. It accelerated afterwards due to a splintering of western Europe into several kingdoms and the breakdown in trading linkages across this area. Trade became localised and reduced in scale, also leading to a decline in manufacturing. Political instability due to fights between the kingdoms and/or aristocrats did not help. This worsened during the period of the Carolingian Empire (800-888). Charlemagne united most of western Europe under his empire. However, the rules of succession provided for he partition of the empire among the sons of the incumbent emperor. This led to continuous fights between the successors and also between other members of the imperial family. This empire collapsed because all this fighting led to the extinction of the Carolingian dynasty. This also had a devastating impact of the economy of western Europe.

The discovery of the Americas and the subsequent shift in trade routes diminished the Ottoman Empire's economic power, as European nations increasingly sought new trade avenues that bypassed Ottoman intermediaries. Additionally, the Industrial Revolution in Western Europe led to advancements in technology and military capabilities that the Ottomans struggled to match, resulting in a decline in their military strength and territorial control.
