The Medieval Centuries 1000 to 1500

Under Construction

Also known as “The Middle Ages”.  Here is a library of Medieval articles.

The Medieval Centuries, (also known as “The Middle Ages”), will cover the history of the world including China, India, Europe, and the Americas. During this time, the Mongols conquered China, The Middle East, and even Eastern Europe. This was the time of knights and castles. The Vikings raided Europe, settled Greenland, and visited America. Marco Polo traveled to China and saw Kublai Khan attempt to invade Japan. The Crusades pitted Christians against Muslims in the Holy Land. The Medieval Centuries ended with the beginning of the Renaissance and Columbus’ discovery of America.
