The Collapse of Rome and the Middle Ages
• When the western portion of the Roman Empire collapsed, much of the European continent entered a period of disunity and violence
• Feudalism, in which local rulers kept order for a reigning monarch (think Kings, Lords, Knights, Peasants), became the dominant political and economic system for centuries
• Trade with other regions, such as Middle East, North Africa, and greater Asia slowed to a trickle or disappeared altogether
• Comparative to the great advances of Rome, this period saw little technological progress, and was far less socially sophisticated

The Power of the Church
• In the absence of Roman government the Christian Church became the center of power on the European landscape
• Bishops, cardinals, and ultimately the Popewere often more powerful than lords and kings
• Meanwhile, in the Middle East the more advanced Islamic culture continued to advance, and had conquered the “holy land” (land in modern day Israel that contains Jerusalem, sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike)
• In the year 1096 the Pope (spiritual leader of Catholic Christians) called upon European leaders to free the Holy Land of Islamic control

Re-Exposure to a Wider World
• The Crusades (Christians vs Muslims for control of the Holy Land) lasted two centuries
• Europeans traveled back and forth from Europe to the Middle East and began to engage in trade with the more advanced cultures of the Middle East and greater Asia
• This exposure would eventually lead to a period of great progress for Europeans, but not before the Bubonic Plague (Black Death) would wipe out 1/3 of the continent

The Black Death Brings Change
• The depopulation of Europe brought about several changes that ushered in the Renaissance
• Fewer people meant that the peasants could demand more for their labor
• Great death and misery made many people question their religion
• Combined with renewed trade, these three factors lead to economic opportunities for more people, a greater interest in the world (less concerned with the Church), and a revival of education and the arts

• It is viewed as a Golden Age in art, literature, and sciences

Humanism• The Renaissance had a focus on
Humanism = non-religious social moment that emphasizes the value of the human experience, scientific discovery, and learning
• In essence, it was a revival of classical Greco/Roman ideas that had once allowed that civilization to flourish
• In contrast, the Middle Ages focus was on religious issues and the Renaissance focused on worldly (secular)

Scientific Advancements
• In addition to the Humanities, thinkers of the late Renaissance period (1500s) were also focused on scientific discovery
• Great advancements were made in Astronomy, Mathematics, Medicine, Physics, and developing the process of discovering truth
• The era in human advancement is referred to as the Scientific Revolution, and often found itself at odds with the Christian Church as old ways of thinking were challenged
![Page 24: The Renaissance - Weebly · 2019-02-11 · The Rebirth of Europe •The Renaissance is a term used to describe the cultural changes that took place from roughly 1300 to 1600 (14th](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041820/5e5d8ab3cf34df5aa0661ff1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
New Ways of Thinking
• Astronomers such as Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei proved through observation and mathematics that the Sun was the center of our solar system (Heliocentric Model),
• Scientific philosophers such as Francis Bacon advocated that a truth can only be known after putting it though a processes of questioning and experimentation, known today as the Scientific Method
• Mathematicians such as Isaac Newton formulated the laws of motion and gravity, new systems of computation (Calculus), and said that all laws of nature are mathematical and therefor understandable

Challenging the Church• In the Middle Ages the Church taught
that the Earth and heavens above were the center of the Universe, and that understanding the world came from Biblical knowledge
• A Heliocentric (Sun Centered) model of the Universe challenged this and brought astronomers like Galileo before the Church court to answer to charges of heresy (view contrary to Church teachings)
• The scientific method encouraged that truth is a process of discovery, thereby reducing the authority of the Bible
