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.

How might modern<br> developments have changed trade routes through Arabia since the 500's

oksian1 [2.3K]

The modern development of today's world would have first made the routes safer. Today we have the safety of common things such as police officers, hospitals, e.t.c. Transportation of goods would have been easier, and it would have been easier to carry larger amounts of goods at one time.

Assin Manso Ancestral Slave River Park was one of the largest slave markets for gathering people to sell into slavery during the infamous trans-Atlantic slave trade. It is especially worth seeing as a prelude to viewing Cape Coast slave castle since you will be following the route taken by the ancestors of many African Americans.

It was the final link in the slavery route from northern Ghana and was known to have been the largest slave market for the merchant supplying slaves on the forts and castles on the coast.

Trans – Atlantic slave trade came about when people were needed to work on agricultural and mines since the Europeans are not suitable to the climate and not able to survive the tropical disease during the agricultural and mines work. Trans – Atlantic slave trade because, already manufactured goods (tobacco, spirits, beads, cloths, guns etc.) were taken from Europe to Africa in exchange of human beings. Then the exchanged goods (human beings) are shipped to work on plantations and mines. The merchants then return to Europe with the produce from the slave’s labor plantations (cloths, sugar, tobacco, etc.). The transport of the slaves from Africa to America forms the middle passage of the triangular trade.
