>>485402>if you want there are plenty of records from late Roman/post-roman Gaul and how society just fucking collapsed there thanks to the power vacuum and just how big a drop in standards there was until the new rulers managed to build up some sort of stable systemI love how our teachers in school after telling us all about Rome and how great it was.. and then when it collapses they are just like "then the dark ages began"... with no further explanation or discussion. "Next week we will discusss WW1". WTF!?!
