Question 1

In school accounts of European history, the Middle Ages is usually placed between which two approximate dates?

  1. From about 500 CE to about 1500 CECorrect answer
  2. From the founding of the city of Rome to about 500 CE
  3. From about 1500 CE to about 1800 CE
  4. From about 500 CE to the early nineteenth century

Explanation

Teaching accounts open the medieval centuries when Roman government stopped ruling the western provinces and close them with the changes of around 1500, so the span covered is roughly a thousand years. The version running on to the early nineteenth century fails because the centuries after about 1500 are treated as a separate early modern age rather than part of the same period.
