The first millennium was a turning point in Europe and the Mediterranean. In the 1st cent. the Roman Empire experienced its climax, followed by its progressive demise in later antiquity, the ascent of Christianity and the great migrations of peoples.

During the second half of the millennium, Europe's early Middle Ages were dominated by the Vikings' westward enlargement, the rising of the Byzantine Empire in the Orient and the Muslim conquest of the Middle Eastern, North African and Spanish peninsulas, which culminated in the Golden Age of Islam (700-1200 A.D.).

The first millennium in East Asia was also a year of great progress in culture, especially the expansion of Buddhism in East Asia. The Han and Tang dynasties are superseded in China by the Jin dynasties and later the Tang dynasties until a new division takes place in the five dynasties and ten kingdoms in the tenth millennium.

During the first millennium until the founding of the Gupta Kingdom in South Asia, the sub-continent of India was split among a number of empires. The first millennium in Mesoamerica was a phase of tremendous expansion known as the classical era (A.D. 200-900). The city of Teotihuacan became a major city and its kingdom ruled Mesoamerica.
