Answer 1

During the Middle Ages, between about 900 and 1300, Europe experienced one of the longest periods of sustained growth in human history. What factors led to this tremendous expansion?

Rise of Europe in the Middle Ages

When we think of Europe in the period that we call the High Middle Ages, we see buoyant optimism everywhere. We see this Europe striking out against its neighbors, in movements that we call the Crusades. We see an unprecedented period of economic growth. We see the soaring of great, first Romanesque and then Gothic, cathedrals and churches all over Europe. We see new states being created, in a great arc running from the Celtic world, through Scandinavia, and on to the Slavic world.

It is a truly dynamic and remarkable period, and one that would not have been possible were it not for the remarkable population growth. Between about 900 to 1300, Europe experienced one of the longest periods of sustained growth in human history. We see growth in almost every aspect of life and this growth is the crucial background to the political and cultural achievements of this period.
