Answer:
The Crisis of the Late Middle Ages was a series of events in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries that brought centuries of European stability to a halt. Three major crises led to radical changes in all areas of society: demographic collapse, political instabilities and religious upheavals.
Answer:
Europe's Middle Ages lasted almost a thousand years, depending on your periodization, so as you might imagine something that was that old and durable didn't just suddenly collapse, but rather there was a long period of shocks and increasing problems that forced different responses within Europe that ultimately ended the "Middle Ages" (a concept that only emerged from Europeans in the 1800s when it was seen as a kind of slow or "dark" period between the Roman Empire and "Modern" Europe).
Crisis!
To get to the end of the Middle Ages, however, requires a look into what historians now call an extended period of crisis for Europe that occurs in the 1300s as Europeans experience a century-long crisis in the Church, recurrent famines, devastating outbreaks of disease, and increasingly long and violent wars within Europe.
