The crusades and how they led to the renaissance
Social impacts of the Black Death
People abandoned their friends and family, fled cities, and shut themselves off from the world. Funeral rites became perfunctory or stopped altogether, and work ceased being done. Due to this, workers became scarce and the demand for goods rose, thus causing economic inflation
Prayer was something the people tried to use to stop the Black Death. Trust in religion also decreased after the Black Death, as lots of preachers/members of the clergy died and also the failure of praying to stop the black death.
Crusade and the increased interaction between different cultures
Trade networks across Europe, Asia and Africa led to increased interaction between different societies which caused not only an exchange of goods, but also an exchange of people, beliefs, ideas and values.
Role of city-states
A city-state is a self governing city, like Hong Kong or Singapore. It is a place that belongs to a specific country but has its own government, making it sort of like a country that isn’t really a country as in that it is not recognized as such, but pretty much has all the qualifications of one.
The emergence of humanism, different artistic and technological innovations
The emergence of Renaissance humanism brought renewed attention to human potential, individualism, and human experience. This led to a shift in artistic and cultural values, as artists and thinkers of the time explored new forms of expression and created works that celebrated the beauty and complexity of the human form.

The role of merchants(i.e. Medici family)
