The rise of Christianity stems back to the 4th century during the fall of the Roman empire. New beliefs and views drove this change. This "Christianity" began to spread across the old world, spanning into regions of Anatolia, Egypt, North Africa, Ethiopia, Persia, India, and China. This expansion brought a new European concept of religion to the masses. It reshaped the Mediterranean, divided countries, and created new world powers spanning the globe.
The rise and fall of rulers continued during the rise of a new world order - Christianity (faith) expanded to the masses of Europe. The Roman empire had already begun to collapse and fade into history like sands of time. Christianity, like a Phoenix from ashes, grew in support and believers that spanned the four corners of the world. This new growth under the same faith brought unification of European nations, consolidated and fortified alliances, and whipped out opposing rivals. Like their counterparts to the East - Islamic nations, Christianity began to rewrite the centuries known lines of division, countryside, and countries, into a massive kingdom under one rule.
Under Charlemagne King of the Franks, an even stronger indication would arise, the Holy Roman Empire. The merger of a Monarch and Papistry under one person solidified great wealth, land, and influence in the world. Having now the world divided into larger pieces (Islam, India, China & Europe), trade lines became the new goals and reconquesting former lands were the reason to rewrite the face of the world as we knew it.
