HIS 3325 History Of Germany I
Medieval Germany was the center of a revived Roman Empire which recovered rapidly from the disintegration of Carolingian rule and the Viking invasions. The Saxon and Salian dynasties ruled the most effective state of their timeâ€"a state which elicited and patronized the Ottonian Renaissance. The impact of the medieval reformation was devastating to the imperial constitution and Germany became the weakest and most divided nation of the Late Middle Ages. This set the stage for the Reformation and the disintegration of the idea and reality
of Empire in the Thirty Years War.
