Historiography discussion.
Would you say Middle Ages and Moderns Ages would be a same period, or not?
There are serious changes since Anquity to Middle Ages (Christianism, Islam, Mediterranean Sea is fractured, Europe is born). Also, from Modern Ages to Contemporany Ages too (USA, technology and industrialization, liberal revolutions).
But I think Middle Ages and Modern Ages could be treated as a same period (even with evolutions, techonology is pretty much the same, Church is the main focus, some states like HRE or Venice were born at the beginning of Middle Ages and dissappeared at end of Modern Ages, etc). What do you guys think?

you should change the name "modern" age with rennaissance or early modern for convenience. when you say modern people usually think of the 20th century.

That depends. In the Americas, Medieval to Modern was a massive difference if you were an indigenous person. It's the collapse of a huge number of civilizations.

From the 15th century onwards a number of innovations became popularized, the printing press, gunpowder, oceanic sailing ships and a plethora of other innovations in manufaturing and science.
Though not as pivotal as the industrial revolution they did have an impact.

On what basis are you periodising?
>>
The Classical Age ends after 600 AD and the Early Modern Period begins around the 15th century. There's no reason to lump everything in between into one period. Also this only applies to Europe and the Middle East.
There's no Ancient Age, that's just stupid.
