During the renaissance, society was increasingly turning towards the human. In general, society became anthropocentric, meaning exactly that - it turned towards the human and viewed different things, if not all, through the view of a human. This became extremely important for later developments in humanities, philosophy, religion, as well as sciences.
Not only were soldiers affected by the tragedies of the war, but civilians were affected also. It is estimated that approximately 5 million civilians died due to war-induced causes. The birth rate sharply declined during the war period as well.
