    The Middle Ages

    The Middle Ages was a period in European history from around 500 to 1400-1500 CE. Originally called the period between ancient times and the fall of Rome, it saw the emergence of Europe as a distinct cultural unit. Political, social, economic and cultural structures were reorganized as Roman rule gave way to Germanic kingdoms. Christianity spread and monasticism became important. A cultural revival under Charlemagne in the 9th century was followed by more growth in the central Middle Ages, including economic and urban expansion, the rise of national identities, and changes to secular and religious institutions. This was the era of the Crusades, Gothic architecture, the papacy, universities and the rediscovery of Greek thought.

    The Middle Ages

    The period of European history extending from about 500 to 1400–


    1500 CE is traditionally known as the Middle Ages. The term was first
    used by 15th-century scholars to designate the period between their
    own time and the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The period is
    often considered to have its own internal divisions: either early and
    late or early, central or high, and late.

    Although once regarded as a time of uninterrupted ignorance,
    superstition, and social oppression, the Middle Ages are now
    understood as a dynamic period during which the idea of Europe as a
    distinct cultural unit emerged. During late antiquity and the early
    Middle Ages, political, social, economic, and cultural structures were
    profoundly reorganized, as Roman imperial traditions gave way to
    those of the Germanic peoples who established kingdoms in the
    former Western Empire. New forms of political leadership were
    introduced, the population of Europe was gradually Christianized,
    and monasticism was established as the ideal form of religious life.
    These developments reached their mature form in the 9th century
    during the reign of Charlemagne and other rulers of the Carolingian
    dynasty, who oversaw a broad cultural revival known as the
    Carolingian renaissance.

    In the central, or high, Middle Ages, even more dramatic growth


    occurred. The period was marked by economic and territorial
    expansion, demographic and urban growth, the emergence of national
    identity, and the restructuring
    of secular and ecclesiastical institutions. It was the era of
    the Crusades, Gothic art and architecture, the papal monarchy, the
    birth of the university, the recovery of ancient Greek thought, and the
    soaring inte
