The Middle Ages, also known as the Dark Ages, lasted from 500-1500 C.E. Around that time, the Western Roman Empire fell, causing everything to go out of order in Western Europe. People during that time were basically Romans, and those living in the Eastern Roman Empire - the Byzantine Empire - were also Romans. Hence, the culture in the Medieval Ages was similar to the culture in the Byzantine Empire. Cultures, throughout the world, build on one another - just like how the Roman Empire influenced the Medieval Culture. The Medieval culture influenced American culture today. Art, music, along with clothing are all major cultural aspects from the Middle Ages.

As civilizations develop and more dense populations settle in one place, people are going to interact more frequently. Unfortunately, not all will receive ideal treatment from their peers; many will experience human rights violations. They will be denied the rights that every human being is entitled to as a result of discrimination based on their gender, religion, skin color, nationality, etc. For this reason, many will experience a transformation in their lives, whether it be where they live, how they live, or how they interact with others. Throughout history, instances of widespread human rights violations have occurred, many before 1750. One notable example is the Crusades, which has shown patterns similar to those in other major instances
The Age of Exploration was a time of great expansion in the European Countries. From Africa, to North and South America, the Spanish, Dutch, English and French were all competing to find new trade routes, new commodities, and new areas to convert to their religion.

It was the time period after the fall of the Roman Empire and before the Renaissance and the Age of Exploration. It was an age of war and struggle, most importantly was the struggle for power between the religious and the political forces. The Middle Ages began after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Many foreign tribes and kingdoms like the Huns and the Vikings started migrating into the Roman Empire. As the struggle for power continues, the Franks were able to achieve greater power, being united by Clovis I. After his death, his power was divided between his sons which led to conflicts and the fall of the kingdom. Religion started to play a major role in the Middle Ages as Charlemagne and many emperors from the Ottoman Empire started ruling under the title of The Holy Roman Empire, giving religion power since the pope has the ability to crown emperors. The church, becoming powerful and wealthy, was able to gain more and more followers and believers. This led to conflicts between the church and the states throughout the rest of the Middle Ages, as both powers believed that they have more power than the other. To control the chaotic situations from within and out of the empire, feudalism was created. Feudalism developed during the Middle Ages, being able to keep the economic and political conditions stable. Feudal systems connected the people to their land.
In Europe during the early 16th century, exploration was beginning to gain popularity and Europeans extended their rule westward to the Americas. Religion, trade, and technology gave them both the means and motivation to do so. The protestant reformation was an indirect influence for the age of exploration because it encouraged competition between protestants and catholics. This inspired people to try to evangelize in the Americas, causing a “race” between the two religious groups to see who could colonize first. This religious competition was fueled by the rulers of European countries, who in turn gave their explorers the means to travel the world. Trade was another influential factor. During the crusades, Europeans traveled to the middle

They focused on entrepreneurship and building a capital revenue system. Their efforts to expand trade routes through long distance markets created a system of new production and export demands. These changes brought long-term transformations to society that brought the medieval times into a modern era.
