Western Europe Reading Review
SS Spanish Version 8/25/25 Topic: Fall of Rome, Medieval Europe, and the Role of Monasteries Tema: La caída de Roma, la Europa medieval y el papel de los monasterios Reading Passage / Pasaje de Lectura The Roman Empire, once the most powerful civilization in the world, began to weaken during the 4th and 5th centuries. Several causes contributed to its decline, including political corruption, heavy taxes, reliance on slave labor, and invasions by barbarian tribes such as the Visigoths and Vandals. In 476 CE, the last Roman emperor in the West was removed, marking the official fall of the Western Roman Empire. This event brought significant changes to Europe, as centralized government disappeared and smaller kingdoms took control. El Imperio Romano, una vez la civilización más poderosa del mundo, comenzó a debilitarse durante los siglos IV y V. Varias causas contribuyeron a su declive, incluyendo la corrupción política, los altos impuestos, la dependencia de la mano de obra esclava y las invasiones de tribus bárbaras como los visigodos y los vándalos. En el año 476 d.C., el último emperador romano en Occidente fue depuesto, marcando la caída oficial del Imperio Romano Occidental. Este evento trajo cambios significativos a Europa, ya que el gobierno centralizado desapareció y reinos más pequeños tomaron el control. After the fall of Rome, Europe entered the Middle Ages, also known as Medieval Europe. This period lasted roughly from 500 to 1500 CE. Life during this time was shaped by the feudal system, where kings gave land to nobles in exchange for loyalty and military service. Most people were peasants who farmed the land and gave a portion of their harvest to their lords. Castles provided protection, while the Catholic Church became the most powerful institution, guiding people’s beliefs and daily lives. Después de la caída de Roma, Europa entró en la Edad Media, también conocida como la Europa medieval. Este período duró aproximadamente del año 500 al 1500 d.C. La vida durante este tiempo estaba organizada por el sistema feudal, en el cual los reyes daban tierras a los nobles a cambio de lealtad y servicio militar. La mayoría de las personas eran campesinos que cultivaban la tierra y entregaban una parte de su cosecha a sus señores. Los castillos brindaban protección, mientras que la Iglesia Católica se convirtió en la institución más poderosa, guiando las creencias y la vida diaria de las personas. In the uncertain times of Medieval Europe, monasteries served as centers of learning and stability. Monks lived simple lives dedicated to prayer, work, and study. They carefully copied ancient texts, preserving knowledge from Greece and Rome. Monasteries also offered medical care, shelter to travelers, and food to the poor. In many ways, they became islands of peace and knowledge in a world often filled with war and hardship. En los tiempos inciertos de la Europa medieval, los monasterios sirvieron como centros de aprendizaje y estabilidad. Los monjes vivían vidas simples dedicadas a la oración, el trabajo y el estudio. Ellos copiaban cuidadosamente textos antiguos, preservando el conocimiento de Grecia y Roma. Los monasterios también ofrecían atención médica, refugio a viajeros y comida a los pobres. De muchas maneras, se convirtieron en islas de paz y conocimiento en un mundo a menudo lleno de guerras y dificultades.
