I've been really interested in this subject, and I've decided to write a paper on this topic. I've been researching many cultures from this time period, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. I was thinking of maybe using either Italy or England during their respective Renaissances, but I'm not really too sure. Any ideas?

I find the Italian renaissance a very interesting period which gave us great personalities like Michelangelo,Da Vinci,Rafael,Botticelli,Tintoretto ,Donatello,Niccolo Machiavelli,Lorenzo da Medici and also Dante,Petrarca,Boccaccio(even if they lived in the middle age-XIV century-they were the precursors of this literary and artistic current which puts in the center of the universe the human being and no longer the divinity like in the middle ages.In my opinion you can write a great essay about this subject.Good luck!

The Italian Renaissance was just starting at this time. We are still influence, culturally, by the Italians of this period but the Islamic cultures were also very influential at this time. The Muslims had retained much of the science and math from antiquity and had made great advances in science. The West lost much of the knowledge of the Greeks and Romans during the Dark Ages but the Muslims had retained this and had gone on with it, particularly in mathematics. The West rediscovered and retrieved their own ancient knowledge from the Muslim world.

I am British... and no I am now not mad approximately some thing that occurred a long time and a long time in the past. It does not hassle me in any respect. America is an excessively extraordinary nation to Britain now.. It is it is possess nation. I consider America is great in lots of methods haha. I imply sure what occurred with the natives used to be terrible, and I consider unhappy approximately what men and women did again then, and to different nations e.g. the Aboriginals in Australia which truthfully wasn't as a ways away as what occurred in America... But we will be able to simplest transfer ahead and make well of what the predicament is NOW, now not hate men and women for his or her ancestors beyond. I might wish to consider men and women would not see me within the identical mild as the ones disgusting British that took over & settled Australia, simply due to the fact I am British. We have bought to make the sector a larger location now, and can not convey on blaming each and every different always, as that's a waste of time. I additionally agree that the indigenous tribes had a larger international view, and probably we might use that now, consider approximately it.

At around that time, Italy was the most cultured, and Spain the most powerful politically and militarily. England only began to be comparable from 1560 onwards.
