Differences between Ancient, Medieval and Modern History
Ancient History | Medieval History |
Modern History |
6000 BC – 650 AD | 500 AD – 1500 AD | 500 AD-Present Day |
This era of human history saw widespread use of bronze and iron tools leading to the formation of composite human societies that eventually evolved to large empires | There were many advances in science and other technological advances such as the invention of gunpowder and increased trade between Asia and Europe | The technological advances would usher in a new era of enlightenment with new systems of government overcoming the old systems |
The term “classical antiquity” is often confused with Ancient History when in fact it is used to describe the time period in Western History when Ancient Mediterranean Civilisations prospered | In Europe, Medieval History is also referred to as the “Dark Ages” as many records were lost due to the chaos following the fall of the western half of the Roman Empire | Contemporary history is either a subset of the late modern period, or it is one of the three major subsets of modern history, alongside the early modern period and the late modern period. The term contemporary history has been in use at least since the early 19th century. |
It is estimated that the world population stood at around 72 million at around 1000 BC. By 500 AD it stood around by 209 Million | The world population rose from 210 million in 500 AD to 461 million in 1500 AD | The world population rose from 460 million in 1500 AD to 7 billion as of 2020 AD |
Significant events of this era include the rise of the Greek Kingdoms, rise and fall of the Indus Valley Civilization and establishment of international trade networks. | Although the Dark Ages have said to begin with the fall of the Roman Empire in the West in 476 AD, the invasion of Italy by its Eastern half (known as the Byzantine Empire) in 534 AD is said to be the true beginning of a period marked by anarchy and disorder | The Renaissance of the 15th and 16th centuries heralded the beginning of the modern period as we know it today. This period was marked by a remarkable advancement in learning, medicine, technology and exploration. |
