In what way were the franks under charlemagne's rule and the roman empire similar?
a. neither was governed by a christian ruler
b. neither gained new territory through warfare
c. other:
d. both existed during the 700 and 800s
e. both groups had conquered significant amounts of land throughout areas of europe

E. Both groups had conquered significant amounts of land throughout areas of Europe

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
