World History Wrap-Up

TGIF!

Today in class, students learned about two very important cultural movements that changed Europe. The Italian Renassiance and the Protestant Reformation both had direct impacts on the colonization and conquest of the North American continent.

Reaching back to the glory days of the Romans and Greeks, the Renaissance reinvigorated Europeans to focus on the ancient values of education that allowed these two super powers to once thrive in the Mediterranean. Luther's reformation not only woke up a sheepish people being led by false doctrines, his work eventually paved the way for several religious groups to be formed and eventually make their way to North America.
