The Renaissance Grade 7 Social Studies
What is a Renaissance It literally means “rebirth” Between 1350 – 1550, Europe rediscovered Art and Learning In a lot of ways, it was a rebirth in the same subjects as the Ancient Greeks and Ancient Romans. Also this marked the beginning of the importance of the individual.
What’s different While still very religious, people began to celebrate human achievement. People became more secular. What do you think this means?
Continued… It means they were more interested in this world than in religion and getting to heaven. This is a massive change in how people viewed life! Can someone think of a comparison for such a thing?
Italy Why would the Renaissance begin in Italy? 3 reasons really… Ruins and Art surrounded several cities in Italy. If you are constantly reminded of a time when it must of been so much more livable, wouldn’t human nature naturally lend itself to repeat it?
Italy A second reason, by the 1300’s, many Italian cities had become very wealthy, they could afford to have creative and popular artists, painters, sculptors and architects to produce new works. A third reason, the Italian region was still divided into many small city-states. Florence, Venice, Genoa, Milan and Rome were all critical to the success of the Renaissance.
Italy Unlike the past, when these city-states competed against each other, they did so with their art and not their swords. Another huge change, many people in Europe lived in the country, rural dwellings. However, the swift change began again in Italy. People were once again living in an urban setting. What does urban mean?
Urban setting
Urban Setting
Urban Setting People were living together in a city meant more customers for artists and more money for art. With more people living in cities, more people conversing, more people interacting, sharing ideas, sharing art, sharing even cultures and religious ideologies, what can we say happened?
Italy So just as Ancient Greece and Rome had produced such great art and education, so did these city-states of Italy.
Marco Polo A merchant from Venice. Wrote a book about Asia and the goods it had to offer Captivated Europeans In 1270, Polo went on a journey with his father and uncle to China. They set off to meet Kublai Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire
Polo Khan was so impressed with Polo, he sent him on missions or trips all over Europe. These were for business. Polo would come to be the most knowledgeable European of China in the world. When he returned from China, he wrote a book about his experiences.
Polo His stories helped increase interest in China and made many people want to buy Chinese goods. So what “road” did Polo open to Europe The Silk Road. Who had controlled it and what event also helped open the Silk Road? The Muslims had controlled it and the Crusade’s help open it has well.
What has been created? Something we have and use everyday in the world we live in today. A Global economy: a world becoming more and more dependent on one another to succeed both financially and politically. Why Politically? How does politics play into this?
Renaissance Politics Those who can control the resources and control the price of goods. What is supply and demand? Supply and demand is any product, the quantity to which you have it and the demand to which people want. Why are diamond’s worth more than quartz?
Wealth of Florence was the most famous city of this time. Florence produced many famous artists. Famous artist link Florence made its money in trading cloth and from its famous artist, but really established itself as the center of banking.
Banking With coins from all over the world flooding into Italy, merchants needed to know the value of such coin, Florentine bankers became experts unto the value of all these coins. Pretty good skill to have. All currency was valued against the gold Florentine coin, the florin. But where does a bank make it’s money?
Banking It makes its money by lending money. If a bank gives you money, how in the world is it going to make money? It will charge interest, thus giving you a loan, in which you promise to pay it back plus interest, so the bank essentially can lend you a dollar, and expect a 1. 25 back. Know imagine this million times over.
Venice was the wealthiest of all the Italian city-states Marco Polo was from Venice The Venetians were great sailors and shipbuilders. How would this skill make Venetians the wealthiest of all the Italian city-states?
Venice Has very few roads Venice is series of canals cut through a swampy island. Venetians built and drove long wooden poles into mud to support their buildings.

Calls for Church Reform Martin Luther, a young monk in 1517 challenged the Roman Catholic Church. He openly challenged the Pope that he could not decide what a person had to do to get into heaven. Luther’s challenge of the Papal authority led to the creation of new churches in Western Europe.
Calls for Church Reform Luther, at first, only wanted to reform the Church, thus the title of the era, the Reformation. The Reformation, however, became the beginning of a movement in Christianity known as Protestantism.
What led to the Reformation The idea of humanism. What is humanism, again? The first leader of this movement was a scholar and clergyman named Desiderius Erasmus His decree was : “Human beings could use their reason to become better Christians and thereby improve the Church.
Erasmus He wanted the Bible translated into the vernacular. Which means the language of the people. He wanted everyone to be able to read the Bible. He felt people should participate more in Church and religious activities more than just what they did on Sunday. What was Erasmus’ goal for all people? Read into this. What I’d like you to do is write an essay, by yourself,
Church upsets Reforms The Church had issues. Peasants were taxed heavily and some bishops behaved like they were Kings. The term Nepotism comes to the forefront. Bishops would give family members well paying jobs and create this division between the have’s and the have not’s Some Priests at this time weren’t able to read. If they can’t read, what can’t they do?
Luther The significance of Luther was great. He was the first to break from the Catholic Church. He wasn’t upset with the Religion of the Church, he was beside himself in regards to the behavior and responsibility, or lack their of, with the people who ran the Church. He felt if he followed these men, he would not go to heaven.
Luther was from Germany and was a very conservative Catholic. Meaning he did everything by the book. He left no interpretation of what he had to do in order to live a good, pure, holy and spiritually fulfilling life. He believed only faith could bring salvation. In 1517, when Luther realized the Church was selling indulgences, which are basically a person paying the Church to have something go away, like a marriage, he became enraged.
Luther Martin Luther authored his Ninety-Five Theses Legend says he even nailed them to the front door of the Wittenberg Cathedral for all to read. Thousands of copies were printed and read by Germans across the Germanic kingdom.
Churches response At first, didn’t seem to do much of anything. However, with growing popularity for Luther, the pope excommunicated Martin Luther. What does excommunicated mean? To be thrown out of the church. This led to Lutheranism, which was the first Protestant denomination.
John Calvin
Who was Bloody Mary? Became Queen Mary I in 1533, after the short reign of her brother King Edward IV. What made her unique was she wanted to make England Catholic again. (Remember, her father, King Henry VIII broke from the Catholic Church) Mary restored the Catholic Church and arrested Protestants who opposed her.
Bloody Mary In her efforts or struggle to make England Catholic, she burned 300 people at the stake. English citizens were horrified and called her “Bloody Mary”
Elizabeth I Mary’s rule ended after 5 years, due to her death. When Elizabeth gained the Crown, she also restored the Anglican Church as the official church of England. Elizabeth was Protestant. She was the 5 th and last monarch of the Tudor Dynasty. She reigned from 1558 – 1603. She was the daughter of Anne Boleyn.
