Unit 3: European Rebirth
Chapter 13
With some help from the Middle East, Europe rebounds by rediscovering classical ideas from Greece and Rome and discovering the improvements made others. Through trade and the wealth that was associated with it, the Renaissance began in Italy and spread northward. Humanists sought to combine Christian ideology with classical ideas resulting in experimentation and discovery that would shape the world. Some of these ideas challenged the authority of the Church changing the face of Chrisitanity forever and igniting a crusading spirit that will contribute to European explots worldwide.
