Difference between Carolingian Empire and History of Germany

Carolingian Empire vs. History of Germany

The Carolingian Empire (800–888) was a large empire in western and central Europe during the early Middle Ages. The concept of Germany as a distinct region in central Europe can be traced to Roman commander Julius Caesar, who referred to the unconquered area east of the Rhine as Germania, thus distinguishing it from Gaul (France), which he had conquered.
