Byzantine Empire also known as the Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantium that lasted for 10 centuries after the fall of the Western. It was one of the great empires in history.

The Carolingian Empire was a state of the Early Middle Ages, founded by the Frankish King Charlemagne, who ruled it between 768 and 814.

The new monarch was crowned by Pope Stephen II, who granted him the right to hereditary succession.

This historical event occurred on May 29, 1453 and signified the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Modern Age. The beginnings of this event date from the time of the Christian crusades, when in 1204, during the fourth crusade, they took the city by storm and annexed it to the Latin empire.

Lutheran and Baptist are two of the main subsections of Christianity that fall under the umbrella of one of the main divisions of this religion called Protestant. Both sects are considered reformists since they demonstrated against the bad practices of the Church and tried to change them for a better one. Lutherans are the followers of the German friar Martin Luther who rose up against the bad practices and corrupt system of the Catholic churches.

The crusades were military and religious campaigns promoted by the Papacy to regain the Holy Land, which had fallen to the Muslims. There were 9 expeditions and they took place between 1096 and 1291. The most important were the first, the third and sixth, as they allowed the temporary recovery of the city of Jerusalem and the establishment of several Christian kingdoms in the Middle East. All the others ended in resounding failures.
