6967457539Italian RenaissanceA new era of thought and feeling, by which Europe and its institutions were changed from their forms in the Middle Ages. 15th Century Italy is where the era rose from, and eventhough it pertained to high culture, the changes in literature, the arts, education, and morals spread across a whole area, influenced by the Italians.4
6967457540Northern RenaissanceMore concerned with theology and personal morality, Cultural and intellectual movement of northern Europe; began later than Italian Renaissance c. 1450; centered in France, Low Countries, England, and Germany; featured greater emphasis on religion than Italian Renaissance5
6967457541Humanisma Renaissance intellectual movement in which thinkers studied classical texts and focused on human potential and achievements6
6967457542Protestant ReformationReligious reform movement within the Latin Christian Church beginning in 1519. It spit the Roman Catholic Church and resulted in the 'protesters' forming several new Christian denominations, including the Lutheran, Calvinist, and Anglican Churches, among many others.7
6967457543Martin LutherGerman theologian and leader of the Reformation. Wrote the Ninety-Five Theses. His opposition to the wealth and corruption of the papacy and his belief that salvation would be granted on the basis of faith alone rather than by works caused his excommunication from the Catholic Church (1521). Luther confirmed the Augsburg Confession in 1530, effectively establishing the Lutheran Church.8
6967457544CalvinismProtestant sect founded by John Calvin. Emphasized a strong moral code and believed in predestination (the idea that God decided whether or not a person would be saved as soon as they were born). Calvinists supported constitutional representative government and the separation of church and state.9
6967457545Catholic Reformation16th Century. Partly in response to the Protestant Reformation, Roman Catholic authorities undertook an enormous reform effort within their own church. To some extent their efforts represented a reaction to Protestant success. Roman Catholic authorities sought to define points of doctrine so as to clarify the differences between the Roman and Protestant churches. They also attempted to persuade the Protestants to return to the Catholic church.10
6967457546Impact of the Reformation1. Protestantism w/ many sects, e.g. Calvinists, spread throughout Europe 2. religious wars erupted, Catholics v. Protestants, as Catholic rulers tried to force rebellious nobles back into the Church 3. Christian split was officially accepted - Peace of Augsburg (1555) - noble could decide religion of his state 4. English Reformation (1534) - King Henry VIII broke from the Church, creating a "Protestant" Church of England 4. common people taking on establishments, printing press, power of ideas being spread, control masses=power11
6967457547Commerical RevolutionIncreased availability of trade goods and new ways of doing business changed life in Europe beginning in the 15th century. Taken together, this expansion of trade and business is the commercial revolution.12
6967457548Causes of commercial revolutionNew ocean trade routes brought great wealth that supported increased investment and a wide array of new economic ventures. Dramatic growth of population, thanks to introduction of new foods, caused a steady rise in the overall demand for goods and services. The price revolution (steady inflation of prices) was caused by increased gold and silver. New nation centered economic system went from towns and guilds with very little innovation to increased commercial activity increased innovation and valued nation over towns and guilds13
6967457549Scientific RevolutionA major change in European thought, starting in the mid-1500s, in which the study of the natural world began to be characterized by careful observation and the questioning of accepted beliefs14
6967457550CopernicusPolish astronomer who produced a workable model of the solar system with the sun in the center (1473-1543)15
6967457551GalileoItalian astronomer and mathematician who was the first to use a telescope to study the stars16
6967457552Isaac NewtonEnglish mathematician and scientist who invented differential calculus and formulated the theory of universal gravitation, a theory about the nature of light, and three laws of motion.
