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. ~Jponbac Gunna

The Middle Ages refers to a period of time from 476 to 1453 which falls in the middle of the three broad divisions of European history: the Classical Era, the Middle Ages, and the Modern Era. This three-way division was created by Renaissance historians, which is why the Renaissance is considered to be the beginning the Modern Era.

The middle ages were a time of great development. They signified the transition between the ancient civilizations and modern times.

The middle ages are not called the medieval ages. The word medieval is an adjective that means "related to the middle ages."

Sometimes we used "medieval period" as the same as "middle ages."

I don't, it's the Middle Ages, and medieval is just the adjective from medium aevum, "middle age" in Latin, for the millennium between ancient and modern.
