十字军东侵对中古欧洲整体发展的影响

Influence of the Crusades upon the Overall Development of Medieval Europe

十字军东侵是欧洲历史上第一次在较大规模打破各地区各民族相互隔绝状况,在全欧范围建立广泛联系的尝试;加速了11世纪以来欧洲商业的复兴,扩大了东西方贸易,整个欧洲在经济上愈来愈结成不可分割的整体;市民阶级实力增强,对欧洲各国的政治统一起到了巨大的推动作用。

In the European history, the Crusades was the first attempt to break the situation of mutual isolation on a larger scale for all nationalities in all regions and to establish wider connections within the whole Europe. It has quickened the reinvigoration of commerce in Europe since the 11th century and has expanded the EastWest trade. Thus in economy, the whole Europe has established an increasingly inseparable totality. The townspeople class has strengthened its power and it has played an important role in pushing forward the political unity of European countries.
