The Middle age was a time period between the classical and the modern time period. The middle ages have been described as the dark ages, the age of feudalism, the age of faith and the golden age of Europe. According to the following accounts it was clearly an age of darkness. The dark ages consisted of many invasions, lethal weapons and the bubonic plague.

The dark ages is the best name for the middle ages due to invasions. Invasions happened frequently during this time period. A group known as the Vikings was well known for their invasions. They would invade towns steal food, goods, and money and then return back to their homeland. They killed innocent peasants and townspeople and burnt cities down. These invasions left people with no homes or food. The lucky ones were killed. The Vikings would also take innocent people and rather then kill them they would take them back to their home land and use them as slaves. Another reason the middle should be called the darks ages is because of the wars that were happening. There were constant battles over land. Feudal warfare was common between manors. The manors also created problems. There was no communication with the outside which prevented learning and ideas.

The bubonic plague is one of the main reasons why the middle ages should be called the dark ages. The plague killed nearly a third of the population of Europe. The plague had three types, septicemic, pneumonic, and bubonic. The septicemic plague consisted of bleeding in the skin and other organs, this creates black patches on the skin. There are bite-like bumps on the skin, which are mostly red and sometimes white in the center. The pneumonic plague is the most fatal. The pneumonic plague infects the lungs, and with that infection there is person-to-person transmission breathing. The time it takes to die with the pneumonic plague is usually between two and four days, but can be as little as a few hours. People knew when someone had this disease because the person would have a fever he/she would be coughing as well. The last type of the plague is the bubonic. Bubonic plague becomes noticeable three to eight days after the infection. People knew when someone had this disease because they would have the chills, fever, diarrhea, headaches, and the swelling of the infected lymph nodes. Lethal weapons such as the crossbow could also be used to help describe that the middle ages were dark ages. The crossbow was as accurate as the shooter and was very lethal. The crossbow could pierce armor which a regular bow and arrow could not do. People often poisoned the tips of the arrow so when it pierced their skin they would become poisoned. There was a defect to the crossbow though. When it rained the sting on the crossbow became slippery and the crossbow became useless.

The dark ages could easily be the name for the middle ages. Many horrible things occurred during this time period that involved death. Invasion and Destruction were also factors that lead to nothing but fear and chaos. The term ''Dark'' refers to the fact that no achievements were made, such as a light bulb or a wheel. This was a time period where death and destruction were dominant.

It spread to all of Europe and Italy.

Perspective allowed the artists to create images that looked real. Artists were able to construct an image that appeared to have depth, meaning that is it did like look flat on the canvas. The technique of making objects in the background smaller than the objects in the foreground generates a realistic, lifelike look within the painting. This led to the beginning and growth of realistic artwork during the Renaissance.

In the Renaissance, paintings began to improve in perspective and the technique of foreshortening (the illusion of depth) was created.

At first people believe that it was the Lord's punishment for their sins that the plague happened. Before after some time they found out that the Church they relied on didn't really do them anything good - they were hoping that the Church could save them but people still died every single day. People started thinking that they did what the Church wanted but still the Lord didn't come to save them. Great fear spread around and since you don't know what time you're gonna die people started to focus on themselves. They wanted to enjoy their lives. Therefore they would do whatever they want to get money or that stuff. And humanism arose. That's one of the most important factor of Renaissance

the renaissance was the rebirth of art, science and math and the birth of the "well-rounded" man and of famous architecture and of Da Vinci's pieces of work
