Question

how did charlemagne approach unification of western europe after defeating the saxons?
○ he forced the saxons to convert to christianity.
○ he allowed the saxons to control their local governments.
○ he banned the study of greek and latin.
○ he took the title \mayor of the palace.\

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Charlemagne promoted Christianity and forced Saxons to convert as part of unification (correct historical context).
• Option 2: He didn't allow Saxons local government control; he centralized.
• Option 3: He encouraged learning, including Greek/Latin, so banning is wrong.
• Option 4: "Mayor of the Palace" was before his time; he was king/emperor.

Answer:

A. He forced the Saxons to convert to Christianity.
