Political Contribution to Continuities and Changes over Culture in the Mediterranean Region.
By the time periods of 200 C.E to 1000 C.E the Mediterranean region went through several political changes and transformations which lead to a cultural transformation also. The majority of the political changes were about invasions and conquering land and it affected culture in a religious way. For instance when they had an invasion the majority of the time they forced people to accept whatever religion they had. A good example of politics having to affect culture would be the crusades the majority of crusades was because of the Christian church telling the other people that they had the power over them. A good example of a continuity would be the fact that Christianity kept spreading through the region by the missionaries that went throughout the trade networks to spread the word. Religion was one of the main factor into culture but it wasn’t the only one the political transformations also affected the literature, learning and language. When invasions or traveling the incorporation of new learning, religion and language was usual since people from one place meet people from other places.

    The politics in Europe were closely tied to religion. The main religion of Europe was Christianity, ran by the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church had close ties to the political climate of Europe. This ranged from monarchs that were devout to Christianity, to rulers that were directly supported by The Catholic Church, “the church sought to collaborate with monarchs and princes, not replace them, but nevertheless asserted that princes held their authority because the pope granted it.” (Dunn and Mitchell 358) There was also a spread of Christianity during this time-period due to the various crusades. Knights would invade non-Christian communities in order to spread Christianity, and these nations would be forced to convert to Christianity. These crusades were a mixture of religious and economic expansion. “In 1099, they took Jerusalem and killed most of its Muslim and Jewish inhabitants.

Religion was the feature that societies looked to for guidance and sometimes even governance. This was especially true in Medieval Europe and the Byzantine Empire, where they both saw Christianity as a great influence on their societies. Although this is true for both, religion in Medieval Europe and the Byzantine Empire, had its differences. One major difference is the fact that the Byzantine Empire was divided into two different types of Christianity with two different churches, while Europe was unified with one main church. Another difference was the religious hierarchal system that was developed in the churches of the two civilizations.
