The collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the late 5th century
A.D. marked the disintegration of order and security in Europe. It
would be 12 centuries of trial and error before a successor
political system - the nation-state - emerged to fill the void. The
Eastern Roman Empire survived for a thousand years after the
Western Empire's fall, shielding the West against the encroachment
of militant Islam. During the same millennium, the Catholic Church
unsuccessfully attempted to resurrect a universal empire in the
West. During the period of the Renaissance, Reformation and Thirty
Years' War, the nation-state arose as the successor to Rome. This
is the story of those 1,200 years, an era that transformed the
Western outlook from one bound to faith amidst chaos to one armed
with reason and a belief in progress.
