		The Franks came from the region of the lower Rhine, and spread slowly into the Roman province of Gaul.
		His acceptance of Christianity in 496 makes that year significant in the history of western Europe because the Franks, whom Clovis had united, were to become the bulwark of the papacy against its temporal foes and to give to the papacy the territories that it would hold as temporal possessions for over a millennium.

	The Review
		In fact, democracy became a Western phenomenon after the defeat of Napoleon (or in the case France, the defeat of Napoleon III).
		Authors such as Franks tend to trace one of those elements and declare it to be the only one.
		We have long since come to see that it is a Weltanschauung, an entire philosophical worldview that teaches the blood-guilt of Western man, the moral bankruptcy of the West, and the outrageousness of Western civilization's attempting to impose its values on anyone else.

		Franks are first noted in the deltas of the Scheldt and Rhine Rivers, along the North Sea coast from modern Antwerp, Belgium, northwest into The Netherlands.
		The Franks had gotten as far as they had simply because their rivals were engaged elsewhere, and they had the good fortune to have enjoyed almost seventy years in which the kingdom had passed to a single heir and so remained united and free from civil wars
		All of the Franks, of course, were "Germanic", but the West Franks were in old Gaul, where centuries of Roman domination had "Latinized" both the street and the Palace.

		After the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, and the occupation of much of Gaul by the Franks, Roman power never returned far enough to come into conflict with the Frankish kingdom (except, to an extent, in the South of Italy).
		By 774, the Franks were virtually the only organized Christian kingdom between Islâm in Spain, the pagan powers to the east, and the remaining Roman Empire, now Greek in character, to the southeast.
		This reveals the relative strengh of the Western and Eastern Frankish kingdoms, and the persistent ruthlessness of Charles the Bald and Louis the German.

	Issue of the So-called 'Holy Roman Empire'
		The West Franks continued a little longer than did the East Franks with some Carolingian kings that, by default, claimed title of 'emperor'.
		With the end of the Carolingian empire a political separation between the east and west Franks became irreversible as their respective cultures continued to develop differently.
		The various kings ruling in Francia occidentalis, Lotharingia, and Francia orientalis (present Western Germany), each in turn, were aiming more or less at the title of 'emperor' (for example Charles II 'le Chauve' was crowned Emperor in 875).

		Though the information found in the lesson regarding the Franks is accurate, the lesson fails to recognize the important influences of the Christian religion in the conquests of Clovis and the Franks.
		By adopting Roman rather than Arian Christianity, the Franks attracted the allegiance of the Christian population of the former Roman Empire, as well as recognition and support from the pope and the hierarchy of the western Christian church.
		This section also describes the crowning of Charlemagne as emperor of the Western Roman Empire and his achievements in regards to the flourishing of scholars, literature and religion.

		The Holy Roman Empire was an attempt to revive the Western Roman Empire, whose legal and political structure deteriorated during the 5th and 6th centuries, to be replaced by independent kingdoms ruled by Germanic nobles.
		The spiritual influence of the western division of the church expanded simultaneously, in particular during the pontificate (590-604) of Gregory I. As the political prestige of the Byzantine Empire declined, the papacy grew increasingly resentful of interference by secular and ecclesiastical authorities at Constantinople in the affairs and practices of the Western church.

	An Appeal To The Believers Of Europe: Return To Unity And An Orthodox Christian Europe
		This then is an appeal to the 'small flock' (Luke 12,32), to the remaining ordinary believers of Western Europe, and indeed their heirs throughout the Western world, to recognize the historical truths of Orthodoxy, the Faith that has been persecuted and slandered in Western Europe for a thousand years by their elites.
		Ordinary Western people were the first victims of the new system forced on them by their own corrupt and semi-barbarian military and ecclesiastical elite.
		In the following centuries the 'Franks' of Western Europe enslaved Africans, with the keen co-operation of Muslim Arabs and pagan Africans themselves, in the nineteenth century a mixed bag of Western Europeans ('Franks' again) massacred the native inhabitants of North America.
