what was the primary cause of these events?
barbarian invasions → people turn to lords for security → establishment of feudalism and manorialism
○ fall of rome leaves a gap in protection and services
○ establishment of european villages increases roman influence
○ lords granted power by the church to manage manorial politics
○ conversion to christianity unifies locals under one person
clear all

Explanation:

To determine the primary cause, we analyze the sequence: Barbarian invasions → people seek lords' security → feudalism/manorialism. The fall of Rome created a power vacuum (lack of protection/services), leading people to rely on lords, which established feudal systems. Other options are incorrect: European villages wouldn’t increase Roman influence after Rome’s fall; lords’ power from church and Christian conversion aren’t the primary cause of this sequence.

Answer:

A. Fall of Rome leaves a gap in protection and services
