In this episode, we explore the rise of Christianity in Europe and the emergence and spread of Islam in the Middle East and North Africa. We dive into the religious, political, and cultural developments that shaped both regions—and examine how frequent contact between Christian and Islamic societies led to both conflict and exchange. Along the way, we trace the evolution of European politics: from the legacy of the Roman Empire, through feudal kingdoms, to the formation of early states deeply influenced by intercultural contacts.
