How was the social hierarchy of the Middle Ages an outgrowth of feudalism? PLEASE HELP!!!

the end of the gilded age coincided with the panic of 1893, a deep depression, which lasted until 1897 and marked a major political realignment in the election of 1896. this productive but divisive era was followed by the progressive era.

germany had to pay all damages related to the war.

and i think

germany had to take sole responsibility for the war.
