Middle Ages History

The Middle Ages was very different from the Classical world of the Greeks and Romans in every aspect although the transition from one period to the other took place gradually. The beginning of the Middle Ages covering nearly 1 millennium is traditionally dated to 476 AD when the Western Roman Empire officially came to an end, while the end date for the Middle Ages depends on the context and allows the use of different events which took place either in the mid or the end of the 15th century.
