Although the Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantium took place a thousand years, gradually developing the new social relations that are fundamentally different from the social relations of antiquity.
Milestone is considered the fifteenth century. In the middle of the fifteenth century the Ottomans conquered Constantinople and destroyed the remains of the Byzantine Empire. This is a time of great geographical discoveries. Sailors at the end of the fifteenth century discovered the American continent. The period from the fifth to the fifteenth century in the development of human society and culture is a separate, self-contained unit, surrounded by old and new age. Therefore, naturally, this period called the Middle Ages.
During the Middle Ages, have adopted the new method of production. After this, the Middle Ages significantly different from the ancient times. Ancient slaves in the Middle Ages replaced dependent peasants or serfs. Without the means of production, the ancient slaves worked under rigid control and coercion. Therefore slaves were encouraged to work. In contrast to the end of disenfranchised slaves dependent peasants or serfs were more interested in production. They are, in truth, were subordinated to the feudal lord or landlord, but their position was significantly better than slaves. Dependent peasants have not worked for master vac and for his family. While the slave social relations hindered and hindered production, free work is possible improvement.
The development of social relations differs early Middle Ages, which lasted from V to XI century and late life, from the twelfth to the fifteenth century. Early Middle Ages was a period of the greatest backwardness in western European countries. By the end of the early Middle Ages were built feudal social relations. Late Middle Ages, the time is analogous to the age of the developed feudalism.
The Middle Ages still called century of darkness because it marked the road wars (Hundred Years' War, the Crusades ...)
