Not this meme again. Roman empire reached highest point after about 300 years after this "fall".

Please. The only true Roman Empire fell in 476, not in 1453 or 1806.

>>2236153
>Here in France it starts at 476, the Fall of Rome, and ends either in 1453 or 1492.
C'est pas plutôt 496 - 1515 ? Les guerres Bourguignonnes c'est quand même franchement médiéval et 1492 c'est pas que la France n'a rien à voir là dedans mais bon...

>eat one half
>anon would have me believe the remaining half is now a banana

Quand je dis "Ici en France" je ne parle pas du Moyen Âge français, mais de l'enseignement du Moyen Âge en France. Si il fallait définir un Moyen Âge Français, 496-1515 semble plus logique. mais dans une logique du Moyen Âge ouest-européen et chrétien, 476-1453/96 est plus logique.

In the US, it's usually between the coronation of Charlemagne and the discovery of the New World

More like
>the other half is left to be rotten
>worms feast on it
>after a few weeks it is just some kind of brown mush, no longer an apple, just something that should be thrown in a garbage bin

>>2236232
desu during the 10th century the Roman Empire was a better place to live than it ever had been before

>>2236243
The Byzantine Empire? Sure, it seemed chill and all. Too bad it wasn't roman.

>inb4 M-m-mais, mon Long Moyen-Âge...!
Oui dis comme ça c'est plus logique et je suis d'accord.

>>2236179
you could argue that the ERE was not roman but it was most certainly an empire

>>2236294
It's true. The Byzantine Empire was an Empire but not Roman (except maybe the first years after the separation of the Roman Empire)
But in the 7th century and after absolutly not Roman.

It's different for each country or better area.

>>2236179
The last one fell in 1923 though.

OP here.
I know that, that's why I ask. I'm interested in historiography and how people view their own history. It says a lot about someone when they end the middle age in 1337, 1453, 1492 or 1515.

>>2236153

In Spain the Falls of Rome and Constantinople are used as reference along with1492.
The whole Gothic Realm till 711 is sometimes considered to be part of the Late Antiquity though.

It's hard to even pin point the start of one age.

People say that the start of the middle ages is the fall of the Roman Empire, but in reality nothing changed for the people living there. They lived they same way 50 years before and 50 years after the so called start of the middle ages. Nothing changed, they didn't all off a sudden say, hey we are in the new age now, let's party like it's 477. The only way to really mark a start of something are inventions or starts of movements (see Reformation, Renaissance...).

The histography that we have not (pre history, ancient world, middle ages, ...) are shit. Because it puts fucking Avars in the same time space as the the start of age of exploration.

At least there was no unemployment.

Starts in mid 5th ends mid 14th as taught at University of Connecticut.
