The Middle Ages refers to the time between the ancient and modern worlds. During this long stretch of time, Western Europe passed through two distinct phases: the early Middle Ages, lasting from about 500 to 1050, and the late Middle Ages, lasting from about 1050 to 1350. A Shift to the North Power leaves the Mediterranean and heads to Western Europe Western Europe has great potential because of resources A Time of Decline: Learning, and trade decline Population loss due to wars and loss of civilization
