During the Middle Ages, Europe was largely under the command of the Christian Church. The Church had very big power, political, social, economic, and it used it in its advantage in order to control pretty much everything on the continent where it had its power. This unfortunately led to the Middle Ages to become Dark Ages, as the Church was only interested about promoting what was in its interest in order to be more powerful, and it was using very violent methods if someone tried to oppose it. During this period, Europe regressed significantly, and the continent was largely isolated from any new inventions, technologies, scientific progress etc.
