Answer 1

## Step 1The question asks us to identify the individual who was responsible for creating the first major empire in Western Europe after the collapse of the Roman Empire. The options provided are Clovis I, Louis the Pius, Charlemagne, and Charles Martel.## Step 2We need to consider the historical context of each individual. Clovis I was the first King of the Franks to unite all the Frankish tribes under one ruler, but he did not create an empire.## Step 3Louis the Pius was a Byzantine Emperor, not a Western European ruler, so he is not the correct answer.## Step 4Charles Martel was a Frankish statesman and military leader who was instrumental in stopping the Islamic invasion of Gaul. However, he did not create an empire.## Step 5Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, was the King of the Franks from 768 to 814. He expanded the Frankish kingdom into an empire that covered much of Western and Central Europe. He was crowned Emperor of the Carolingian Empire in 800, becoming the first Holy Roman Emperor. This makes him the correct answer.
