Tacitus’ Germania, the author reveals different aspects of the Germanic tribes of that time. Tacitus underlines religion, politics, and warfare in his passages. He goes into detail about climate, geography, social structure, the different customs of the Germanic people, and the tribes that make up Germany.

Einhard’s The Life of Charlemagne has a more narrow focus: the reign and personal life of Charlemagne, one of Europe’s most prominent leaders of the Dark Ages. Both of these books subtextually reveal values of each of their time periods. These periods had various similar values, most notably conquest and war.

Germania: Tacitus’ Perceptions of Pax Romana Rome While the early 2nd century is usually considered to be the height of the Roman Empire, closer examinations reveal a deteriorating state hiding behind a façade of power and wealth. As modern day historian C. Warren Hollister described, “life in Rome’s ‘golden age’ could be pleasant enough if one were male, adult, very wealthy, and naturally immune to various epidemic diseases. But if this was humanity’s happiest time, God help us all!” (14).

“Some people are swept along by the events others use it to their advantage.”. To what extent is this statement true? Albert Speer epitomizes an individual who used an event to his advantage. Therefore, the statement is inaccurate in relation to Albert Speer. Speer used his relationships in the Nazi Party and relationship with Hitler to establish his career. He abused his authority as the Armaments Minister to advance his political position. Additionally, he lied at his Nuremberg Trials to prevent

Even after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Europe was seen as everything away from the northern coast of the Mediterranean, usually only Gaul and Rhineland.* This view was changed dramatically with Charlemagne and his conquests.
