(Don’t know how to make or describe this chart, but we did this in class once.

I’ll call it
the Causation Chart or Cause And Effect chart for now.)

the Crusades):

towns grew to become more important, rise of Venice.

disruption of the “cycle” in feudalism and imbalance of people covering specific jobs.
