Ch. 10 = Christendom

In the Western term, Christendom is referred to as "encompassing what we now know as Western Europe, the setting was far different" (Strayer, 410). There had a vanished rule in 500 C.E. in Rome, which had "accompanied by the weakening of many features of Roman civilization" (Strayer, 410).  This was affected by despaired roads, decayed cities, and more.

However, there has a "story of global Christendom in the era of the "third-wave civilizations is one of contractions and expansions" (Strayer, 410). As Christendom is a religion, "Christianity contracted sharply in Asia and Africa even as it expanded in Western Europe and Russia" (Strayer, 410), whilst a civilization states "Christian Byzantium flourished for a time, then gradually contracted and finally disappeared" (Strayer, 411). This is actually a trajectory of civilization that had happened in the West, which "at first contracting as the Roman Empire collapsed and later expanding as a new and blended civilization took hold in Western Europe" (Strayer, 411).

That's all about Christendom in the world.
