Middle Ages

The Middle Ages, spanning roughly from the 5th to the late 15th century, was a significant period in European history marked by the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of feudalism. This era saw the development of medieval culture, characterized by the spread of Christianity, the establishment of universities, and the creation of iconic art and architecture, such as Gothic cathedrals. It also included social and political upheaval, the Crusades, and the Black Death. The Middle Ages concluded with the Renaissance, a revival of classical learning and culture, which set the stage for modern Europe.
