Two thousand years ago, Rome was the center of the civilized world and the most powerful city-state in existence. At its height, the influence of the Roman empire spanned from Scotland to Spain to Syria. Today's world has been largely influenced by ancient Rome as well: Democratic governments, modern literature and films, architecture and even professional football owe something of a debt to the ancient Romans.

The first decade of the twenty-first century promised fresh political, economic, and social challenges. Yet few could have predicted that the new millennium would bring deadly terrorist attacks, the first African American president, the rise of China, and global financial collapse. The 2000s witnessed devastating natural disasters in the United States and the Pacific Rim; war in Iraq and Afghanistan; new inventions like the iPod and Facebook; and athletic achievement at the Olympics Games. Marked by great progress and disappointing setbacks, the 2000s proved to be a decade like no other.

The Early Middle Ages of European history began with the fall of the Roman Empire in 456 AD, which fractured the region into small, decentralized kingdoms. For roughly the next 450, these kingdoms were dominated by warfare, plagues and famines, a powerful Church structure, and a strict social and economic system called feudalism. Nonetheless, a more enlightened culture also began to emerge, symbolized by the political, economic, social, and educational reforms of the era’s dominant figure: Charlemagne, King of the Franks.

Six million human beings, murdered in the name of racial purity. Adolf Hitler and those beneath him in Nazi Germany--from 1933 to 1945--did not believe Jews and others they deemed inferior had a right to live. The Holocaust is the grisly story of how six million Jews, along with millions of other innocent people, were systematically brutalized and butchered by the Nazis.

The Late Middle Ages began at the dawn of a millennium, marked by the start in 1096 of religious wars called the Crusades. The era ended roughly in the mid-1400s, ushering in the next major era in European history: the Renaissance. In between, Europe saw the development of centralized nations and a complex political system that sometimes bound them together and sometimes led to war; a church structure that was a powerful force in politics and society, but was also plagued by scandal and conflict; and a movement away from a rigid social and economic system toward one that was more democratic.
