The Renaissance first began in the Italian city-states and later spread to the rest of
00:00:00
Europe.
00:00:21
It was a period of great change and occurred across many different fields, including art,
00:00:22
economics, philosophy, politics and social structures.
00:00:26
The Renaissance occurred approximately between the 14th and the 17th centuries.
00:00:30
Historians have identified several main causes of the Renaissance, including increased interaction
00:00:44
between cultures, the rediscovery of ancient texts, artistic and technological innovations,
00:00:49
and the impacts of death in the Middle Ages.
00:00:56
Increased interaction between different cultures led to new ideas, views and beliefs in Europe.
00:01:03
This was most evident during the events of the Silk Road and the Crusades.
00:01:07
The Silk Road was one of the earliest and largest trade networks in human history.
00:01:28
It occurred approximately from 120 BC until 1450 CE.
00:01:33
The Crusades were a series of religious wars carried out by European Christian crusaders.
00:01:49
The Crusades took place from 1096 to 1272 CE.
00:01:54
The next main cause of the Renaissance was the rediscovery of ancient texts.
00:02:10
The term Renaissance means rebirth in French.
00:02:13
This refers to the rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman texts by European scholars,
00:02:16
which led to a rebirth of ancient philosophies and ideas.
00:02:20
For example, Petrarch famously rediscovered the earlier work of Roman philosopher Cicero.
00:02:24
Petrarch was a Renaissance humanist, which centered on the idea of studying ancient texts
00:02:28
with the goal of promoting new ideas and values in society.
00:02:33
His work is considered to have sparked the Renaissance.
00:02:40
The third cause of the Renaissance was related to new innovations.
00:02:56
For instance, Johann Gutenberg, a German blacksmith and printer, developed the first printing
00:02:59
press in the mid-15th century.
00:03:04
The printing press was an important innovation because it sped up the printing process and
00:03:11
led to more printed works in European society.
00:03:16
Historians consider this an important step in the spread of Renaissance ideas in the
00:03:20
Italian city-states.
00:03:23
Artistic innovations were also incredibly important to the Renaissance.
00:03:35
For example, Renaissance artists created paintings and sculptures that focused on the realities
00:03:39
of everyday life.
00:03:43
Famous artistic works from the time, such as the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, helped
00:03:45
to spread Renaissance ideas, which led to a shift in European worldview.
00:03:49
The Black Death was a major historical event in the time of the Middle Ages that led to
00:04:12
the deaths of between 75 and 200 million people.
00:04:16
It occurred in the mid-14th century and shifted the balance of power in Europe towards the
00:04:26
Italian city-states.
00:04:30
As such, historians view it as an important event related to the start of the Renaissance.
