THE WORLD BETWEEN ANCIENT AND MODERN TIMES:
After the Roman Empire fell around 500 AD, Europe entered a period called the
Middle Ages. During this time, society was organized under a system called
feudalism, where kings, nobles, and knights controlled land and protected the
people, while peasants worked the land. This period was often marked by wars and
little technological or scientific progress.
However, around the 14th century, Europe began to change during the
Renaissance. This was a time of renewed interest in art, science, and learning.
People began to explore new ideas, leading to advances in many fields.
In the early 1500s, a religious movement called the Reformation began. This was
sparked by Martin Luther, who challenged the practices of the Catholic Church.
The Reformation led to the creation of Protestant churches and caused significant

MEDIEVAL EUROPE:
Medieval Europe, from about 500 to 1500 AD, was a time when
society was organized under a system called feudalism. Kings,
nobles, and knights controlled land and provided protection, while
peasants worked the fields in exchange for safety. The Catholic
Church was very powerful and influenced daily life. Most people
lived in small villages, and cities were rare. Life was often difficult,
with wars, plagues, and limited knowledge. However, towards the
end of this period, people began to explore new ideas, leading to
changes in art, science, and eventually the end of the Middle Ages.

THE VIKINGS:
The Vikings were fierce warriors and skilled sailors from Scandinavia
(modern-day Norway, Sweden, and Denmark) who lived between the
8th and 11th centuries. They are known for their longships, which
allowed them to travel and raid across Europe, from England to
Russia. The Vikings weren't just raiders; they were also traders,
explorers, and settlers. They founded settlements in places like
Iceland, Greenland, and even North America. The Viking Age
eventually ended as they adopted Christianity, settled in new lands,
and the European kingdoms became stronger, making it harder for
THE FEUDAL SYSTEM:
The feudal system was a way of organizing society in medieval
Europe. It was like a pyramid, with the king at the top. Below the
king were powerful nobles or lords who controlled large areas of
land. They would give pieces of this land, called fiefs, to knights in
exchange for their loyalty and military service. At the bottom were
peasants, also known as serfs, who worked the land for the lords. In
return, they got protection and a place to live. Everyone in the
feudal system depended on each other, and this system shaped life
in Europe for hundreds of years.
