Question

What were the europeans lacking after the roman and byzantine empires fell?

Answer 1

A powerful central government.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the fall of the Roman empire, smaller feudal kingdoms developed and regional leaders emerged.

Answer 2

The fall of Rome also paved the way for another major part of Europe's history: feudalism. When Rome fell, Europe fell into a state of constant warfare. ... Naturally this created a decentralized government that was prone to internal conflict. Feudalism also further weakened trade and economic development in Europe.
