Answer:

Explanation:

Massacre: an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of people.

“an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of many people” Many is of course “A large quantity”. So there we have it, certainly more than a couple but if it gets to be say 100,000, which is definitely a large number, I suspect that might be encroaching into the realms of genocide.

OK so if you happen upon a car crash and there are bodies spread over the scene, 2 from each of the 2 cars, then you would immediately spot, just by looking there were 4 people involved, but if it was a pair of coaches each with 52 passengers and they were all spread around the scene you wouldn’t be able to put a number to it by just sweeping your eyes across the mess, perhaps then it is getting to be a massacre. Could that be a useful definition? If the number slaughtered is more than you can estimate merely with a look? I also think it needs to be within a definable area, like a football field, or a stadium or perhaps a town. If it involved a whole region of a country then it becomes Genocide, maybe.

Could it be then The indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of more people within a definable area than you can estimate readily with a sweep of your eyes.

Just a suggestion, so go gently on me ………….

Cultural renaissance began in northern Italy, concentrated in Florence, Giotto, who gradually broke through the rigid art of the Middle Ages, making the works more vivid three-dimensional works. It then spread to the south, the impact of Rome is particularly large, and Rome is largely by the Renaissance Pope reconstruction. The Italian Renaissance reached its heyday in the late 15th century, when foreign invasions plunged the entire region into chaos. However, the idea of the Renaissance with the ideal spread to other parts of Europe, opened the Northern Renaissance and the Renaissance of England and so on.
