What was the dominant social, political, and economic system in medieval Europe, characterized by a hierarchical structure where land ownership was exchanged for military service or labor?

💡 Explanation:

Feudalism was the prevailing socio-economic system during much of the Middle Ages in Europe. It structured society around relationships derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labor, and allegiance. Lords granted land (fiefs) to vassals, who in turn provided military service or other obligations.
