Treaty Of Verdun 843 AD Posted on October 7, 2016 by chakrabortysubrata

Impact of the Fall of the Carolingian Empire

The fall of the Carolingian Empire led to formation of two independent political units – West Francia that became the Kingdom of France and East Francia, the precursor of Germany. The central part of the Carolingian Empire – Lotharingia or Lorraine lacked the ethnic, linguistic and economic unity of the West and East Francia and remained the contested territory between France and Germany until the 20th century.
