The 4 Major Events Of the Renaissance period
83
There were 4 major advancement in human civilization that happened during the 1200 - 1600 . Those four grate advancement in human civilization were: the Magna Carta, the renaissance, the Printing press, and the reformation. They each had a great cause an effect that helped modern day human civilization advance as it has. If it weren't for these four great advancements the world not be the way it is today. There would probably monarchs all over the world still and no democracy. There also would be no educated poor,which would still be called surfs. This is why these were 4 great advancements in human civilization.
The Magna Carta was a document that limited the power of kings in Britain. The reason the Magna Carta was formed was because King John hated the French and declared war against them. Then he taxed the nobles, who didn't like this. So the nobles made the Magna Carta which said that the nobles had certain political rights and made him sign the contract. It made the ruler have to follow certain laws. This happened in 1215 when England was at war with France. The final outcome was a major cornerstone in democratic movements and the end of free rule by a ruler.
The Renaissance was a time of growing knowledge for the poor, the idea of humanism and the idea of free thinking. This happened all through out Europe during 1300 - 1600 AC. The idea of Humanism was that human had the ability to do anything. The outcome was new thought about the religion and life. This is the time of Da Vinci and Michelangelo. This was also the restart of manners in the modern world. The renaissance started in Italy.
The Printing Press was probably the greatest invention of this time. This made books cheaper and easier to afford for the poor. This intern caused many poor citizens who couldn't read before to learn how to read. The printing press was invented in Germany by a man named Johann Gutenberg. He invented it in 1440 in Mainz. It was the greatest invention of that period of time because the church couldn't lie about things that were written in the bible. This was the major factor for increase in knowledge. An average printer could print 500 books in the same time as a monk took to make 1.
The Reformation was started in 1517 when Martin Luther wrote the 95 theses which were against the churches bad practices. He then posted these 95 theses on a castle in Wittenburg. These were then taken and copied and copied until it was spread all over norther Europe. This caused the reformation of the church and a new branch of Christianity to be formed called protestant. During a revolt Martin Luther told the princes of Germany to kill the revolt with no mercy. Feeling betrayed most peasants rejected Luther's teaching after that. This Mainly happened in Germany and other close by countries. The Protestant religion has split many times to form a jumble of beliefs.
The 4 great advancements have and always will leave a mark on our population. The 4 great advancements might not have happened without the influential people who started them wanting better life and rights. Those great achievements started with The Magna Carta and ended with a great improvement in our society. The renaissance was a time of humanism. The Priting press started a restart of education. Finally the Reformation stated that the church shouldn't lie to the peasants to make them work harder for a lord. These are and always will be 4 great advancements during the 1200 - 1600.

Hi Bob -
My first comment was because this hub appeared as one solid block of text. Then Munroenet fixed that, and it's now looking ok. If you've read the hub and really haven't a clue what he's saying, I can only suggest you start reading some history. We are all 'standing on the shoulders of giants'. So we should all learn something about these giants.
Great hub Munroenet. You've touched on some very important topics that I, for one, will be revisiting. Thank you.

You've put a lot of historical information into this one, but couldn't you do something about the presentation - a few headings, subheadings, paragraphs - just to make it more readable.
