Most World history courses are focused on the important trends and developments since the beginning of civilization. Many high school world history courses are really European history courses so you may also want to check out the AP European history pages. The AP World course asks students to focus on analysis (explaining why things happened) and then comparing how one part of the world changed to how other areas changed over time. This webpage is designed to give you the facts you need through outlines, notes, stories, vocabulary, lists, and lots of quiz questions to help you practice what you learn.

medieval ages life
The Dark Ages started in Europe after the fall of the Rome and Greece civilizations. During the Dark Ages barbarian tribes demanded tribute, enslaved people, and killed people. The Dark Ages started out with the collapse of Western Europe. Another reason is the plague that broke out during the 16th century. There was a decline of agriculture and depopulation. Also, the breakdown of society. The Dark Ages are also called the Middle Ages.

AP European History Essay

The Protestant Reformation began with a posting of 95 theses on a church door in Wittenburg by a then unknown monk, Martin Luther. This act would soon bring sweeping change throughout Europe. The Catholic Church?s authority over the people began to crumble after many years of abuse and corruption. A split in Christianity occurred, and with it, new religious thinkers brought their beliefs to the masses. This would forever change the religious landscape in Europe.
