Middle ages started in 410 AD with the fall of Rome and ended in the 1400's with the age of exploration. It was a 1,000 years of "darkness" and superstition. Run by the Church it taught people they were born in sin and would die in sin if they didn't follow the dictates of the church. It was a time of chaos and war, when government was gone, and when people were slaves to the Nobility.

The dates given are approximate as there is no exact definition - and different dates are sometimes given for different countries.

The middle ages (also called the dark ages or medevil ages) was the time between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance. This was the time of Knights and peasants, of dragons(not really!!) and wicked warlords(really!!). During the middle ages many of modern day west European countries were born, such as France, England, and Spain.

The Middle Ages was a period of European history from the 5th century to the 15th century. The period followed the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476, and preceded the Early Modern Era. It is the middle period in a three-period division of history: Classic, Medieval, and Modern. The term "Middle Ages" was coined in the 15th century and reflects the view that this period was a deviation from the path of classical learning, a path supposedly reconnected by Renaissance scholarship.
