This work challenges traditional views on the fall of the Roman Empire, arguing that the real break with antiquity came not with Germanic invasions but with the rise of Islam. Pirenne traces how economic and cultural shifts, spurred by Islamic expansion, shaped medieval Europe and laid foundations for the Carolingian Empire.
