The Middle Ages

In the year 476 A.D. the Roman Empire came to an end and the next thousand years were called the Middle Ages.

Life in Europe during the Middle Ages was very hard. Only a few people could read and write. The only hope for people was their religion. Many people became Christians and hoped that life in heaven would be better than life on Earth.

The Middle Ages came to an end at the end of the 15th century. Many changes started to take place. The new age in European history was called the "Renaissance".
