Both. And for very different reasons, though equally important.

There have been contributions made on both parts, its not a competition is it?!
dunno

Other equal contributors would be the Egyptians, Chinese and other remarkable pioneers.

That's not to take anything away from MacDonald's, of course.... grin

The Moors, Chinese, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans, as well as other ancient civilisations all played important roles in our so-called civilisation.

I found out recently that Elizabeth I was involved in discussions about how England was not in control of it's multi-ethnicity resulting from trade.

How do you measure 'main contributions' if all contributions contribute to a gestalt?

Why should one contribution have higher status than another?

Or is this another of those size matters threads? laugh

You know Chris, I've recently come to the idea that the moment you identify yourself as being greater in some way than someone, or something else, you automatically put limitations on yourself just in the same way as you do if you think less of yourself. I'm playing around with that idea at the moment. tip hat

When Western Europe was falling into the Dark ages of savagery and disrepute, Columbanus and others brought them back to civilisation. This was a crucial time as the Western Empire had fallen and people were splintering off into their pre-historic ways.





"We knew that the Celts founded the first Europe, but very few are aware that Irish monks had a very important role in Medieval Europe, which they transformed culturally and spiritually. Britain, Scotland, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Italy, Slovakia, Russia, Iceland, Greenland, America... are in many ways linked to them."
