Describe the Renaissance. Analyze and explain why this new age began in Italy.

History
1 answer:
Vesna [10]2 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Primarily, the Renaissance began in Italy because this was the home of ancient Rome. The Renaissance was inspired by humanism, the rediscovery of ancient Western learning. During this period, many great works of antiquity, long thought to have been lost, gradually came to light, uncovered among the dusty shelves of countless churches and monasteries. All of a sudden, the modern Italian man was reconnected with his intellectual heritage, inspiring him to build upon the example of his ancestors to advance human endeavors in fields as diverse as fine art, science, and government.

Though the Renaissance spread rapidly across the length and breadth of Europe, its natural home was Italy. At that time, Italy wasn't a country as it is today; it was a patchwork of petty kingdoms, republics, and Papal States involved in almost constant war with each other. In this atmosphere of persistent conflict, the picture of ancient life uncovered by the new learning, with its vibrancy and relative cultural unity, was an appealing one to a generation of Italians weary of decades of strife, bitter division, and cultural paralysis.

I guess I'll just write about people, since it'll be the fastest for me.

1. George Washington, the very first president of the United States of America. He was a great leader, and he helped bring an entire nation together with the help of his allies and supporters.

2. Frederick Douglass, a runaway slave and the man who most likely contributed to the Black Power movement the most. He gave powerful speeches everywhere, and thanks to that he helped make all black men and women free from slavery. Not equal, but they were free.

3. Rosa Parks. She boycotted against the way blacks were treated, and, probably the most memorable thing she did, she refused to sit in the back of a bus, where the blacks were forced to sit, and that brought more people to fight for black rights.

Period 1 begins with 1491. If the African Indian population in what is now the United States was nearly 10 million before 1492,
ratelena [41]
American Indians, that is Native Americans, are a very small minority now due to numerous reasons. For starters, many of them died because of the diseases that the colonists brought with them that the natives weren't immune to, like the measles. A large amount of them died when moving westwards as they were kicked out of their land, or in the wars for defending their land. What remains is those who accepted their life in reservations at the time.

I’ve been researching this for you and Syria would be the only thing that makes sense here.

I say this because they definitely had aqueducts and bridges. They have pictures of all of these including forums.

*I would go with A.*

(i’m sorry i couldn’t be precise, its odd that i found all of these true in a sense)
