the other responders hit the nail on the head.
Civ I is a longer time, but the "large" events are spread out. Things changed more gradually, and many societies histories are a bit similar.
In Civ II, you have a lot happening between 1648 to 2000.
You have to learn individual history of Spain, England, Netherlands, France, Germany (Austria, Prussia, etc), Italy, Russia, the colonies, etc.
A lot, a lot, a lot of stuff, and the short amount of time makes it easy to confuse overlapping facts, dates, wars.
Civ I is easy. There are kings, they use religion to subject peasants. Oh, and the plague was really, really, deadly. End of story.
