Division of the Roman Empire 100 C.E.
At its peak, in the A.D. 100's, the Roman Empire covered about half of Europe, much of the Middle East, and the north coast
of Africa. But the Roman Empire grew weaker during the A.D. 300's. In 395, it was split into the West Roman Empire and the
East Roman Empire. Each empire was subdivided into two parts called prefectures. The West Roman Empire consisted of
the prefecture of Gaul and the prefecture of Italy and Africa. The prefecture of Illyricum and the prefecture of the East made
up the East Roman Empire. The West Roman Empire fell to Germanic tribes in 476. The East Roman survived as the
Byzantine Empire until 1453.

This map shows the routes taken by some of the major European armies during the First and Third crusades. The First Crusade began in 1096 and
ended in 1099. Key European leaders in the crusade included Robert of Flanders, Raymond of Toulouse, Godfrey of Bouillon, and Bohemond of
Taranto. The crusaders traveled from Europe toward Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey) and then marched toward Jerusalem. They succeeded in
capturing Jerusalem. They also established the crusader states: Edessa, Antioch, Tripoli, and Jerusalem.
The Third Crusade began in 1189 and ended in 1192. Important European leaders of the Third Crusade were Frederick I of Germany, Philip II of
France, and Richard I of England. The crusaders failed to recapture Jerusalem. But they recovered the Palestinian coastline and won an agreement
with the Muslims to permit Christians to visit Jerusalem.
