The Middle Ages: Fall of the Roman Empire, Rise of the Roman Catholic Church 500AD-1500AD Roman Empire split between East (Byzantine Greek Orthodox) and West (Roman Catholic) beginning 500 AD, officially by 1100 AD. Western part mostly divided into little Christianized kingdoms, with allegiance to Roman Catholic Church. (Exception: Spain conquered by Muslim Moors through Africa, around 800 AD). 1st crusade (ordered by Pope Urban) to take back Holy Land from the Muslims, 1095 AD. 800-early 1490’s: Muslim rule of Spain; ends with the “Reconquista”, which also supported Christopher Columbus’ exploration to the New World.

Renaissance and Reformation 1500s AD-1600s AD Rediscovering Ancient Greek and Roman science Rising Protestantism, weakening of Roman Church. Rising “democratic” principles.

Enlightenment, Romanticism, and Empire: 1600-1800s Increased exploration leads to nationalism, colonialism, and capitalism.
