barbarian invasions → people turn to lords for security → establishment of feudalism and manorialism
what was the primary cause of these events?
○ 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 led to the fall of Rome, creating a void in protection/services. This made people seek lords' security, leading to feudalism/manorialism. The other options are incorrect: European villages wouldn’t increase Roman influence after Rome’s fall; church-granted power to lords is a result, not a cause; conversion to Christianity unifying locals isn’t the primary cause of this feudal sequence.

Answer:

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