CHAPTER 1
A) Chapter Overview:
The Renaissance, which occurred from the 1300s to the 1600s, consisted of the rise of the five major city-states, the rise of humanism, and a multitude of patronage in the arts. The Italian Renaissance differed from the Northern Renaissance in that the Italian Renaissance was more secular, and in the North the focus was more on church and social reforms. Later, during the Age of Exploration, technological advances paved the way for exploration and conquest. Corruption in the Catholic church led to major reforms and the spread of Protestantism. Finally, the Catholic Reformation with the Council of Trent brought back Catholic doctrine.
