The last king was a tyrant. This led to a rebellion which overthrew him and did away with the monarchy. The republic was seen as a return to liberty and a measure to prevent the re-occurrence of tyranny was introduced. This was the creation of two annually elected consuls as heads of the city and the army. Having two men in charge meant that they would counterbalance each other. The short term of office was meant to prevent power becoming concentrated in the hands of one or a few men. The worst accusation against someone was that of trying to become a King. Two men were executed because of such accusation and one man who ordered one of the execution was seen as a hero of liberty.

Germany was divided into East and West from the late 1940s until reunification in 1990.

What was the major effect of the crusades on Europe?

The Crusades had a profound impact on Europe by stimulating trade and cultural exchanges between the East and West, leading to increased economic activity and the rise of a merchant class. They also contributed to the weakening of feudalism as nobles sold lands to fund their expeditions, leading to the growth of centralized monarchies. Additionally, the Crusades heightened religious fervor and tensions, particularly between Christians and Muslims, shaping medieval European identity and attitudes toward the Islamic world.
