Document Summary
The 10 greatest changes of the past 1,000 years. 11th century: castles: most people think of castles as representative of conflict. However, they should be seen as bastions of peace as much as war. In 1000 there were very few castles in europe and none in. This absence of local defences meant that lands were relatively easy to conquer . William the conqueror"s invasion of england was greatly assisted by the lack of castles here. If you consider visiting a foreign country, one of the most important aspects you bear in mind is how safe you will be while you are there. Indeed, probably no other factor deters people from visiting a place as much as an absence of law and order. So it follows that the introduction of the systematic application of law and order marks quite a turning point in european history. As is well known, money has existed for thousands of years.
