Who and what were major players in the Age of Exploration and the Protestant Reformation? How did their actions inmpact the world?
Description Between 1350 and 1550 the world turned upside down. The plague, the power of the Church, exploration, technology, artwork, science - all of it changed in a few generations. It's impossible to determine a single factor in all this. For example, you have the demand for new cloth boosting the Florentine textile trade that in turn expanded the income for the Florentine families that hired the great artists. The great artists inspired changes in studies of the human condition and form. That in turn led to studies in medicine and questions about the nature of disease. That changed how people thought about themselves and God and asking questions about the order of the universe. So, did the Florentine cloth trade create the Reformation. Well, the answer is yes and no, but it was part of the process. For his packet we are going to study that process.

“Leave me alone!” It ripped its arm away from you. “Look, I’m sorry!” you said, unsure why it was mad. “Clause, what did I say?” It growled and turned so suddenly that you almost bumped into it. “You said no one can be independent!” it shouted. “Do you know how much that hurts me?!” You stared at it in shock, tears forming in your eyes. You didn’t think it had taken that to heart. “No. No, Clause, no!” You grabbed its shoulders. “No, even we can’t be completely independent, you can!” It stared at you, and then it gasped. “I-I think. . . I know how to fulfill it now!” You smiled, though your eyes betrayed your confusion. “Fulfill what?” “The sentence!”
