The Middle Ages is a period in European history following Classical antiquity and the fall of the Western Roman Empire, spanning roughly the 10 centuries from AD 500 to 1500. It was a period of great cultural, political, and economic change in Europe. The Middle Ages witnessed the first sustained urbanization of northern and western Europe. Modern European states owe their origins to the Middle Ages, and their political boundaries as we know them are essentially the result of the military and dynastic achievements in this tumultuous period. Science, technology, agricultural production, and social identity changed drastically during this period.
