The Black Death
I think the Black Death was a dark period for Europe because many people died during its outbreak. Europe suffered greatly because its population decreased which led to other problems such as new laws being put into effect, poverty, slow trading, disbelief in religion and social changes.
The Crusades
I think it was terrible that people were fighting many holy wars and the Catholic Church got powerful and wealthy through some people misfortunes. I think it was good that people began learning more from traveling and seeing other parts of the world.
The Renaissance
I think the Renaissance was great for the Middle Ages because people were beginning to think for themselves and experience new ideas rather than being controlled by religion and the Catholic Church.
The Middle Ages
I liked reading about the Middle Ages because I learned about a lot of fascinating information about how people lived; their religious beliefs, their home life, their communities, their recreation, their clothing, their work habit, their food and how they fought battles.
