The Renaissance holds it roots in the taking of the Byzantine capital of Constaninople by the Ottomans in the year 1453 B.C. After the fall of the western half of the split Roman Empire the Eastern half continued to flourish while Europe entered the Dark Ages where most of the learning from the Roman Empire was lost. However the knowledge continued to pass down in the East until the scholars' flight to Italy.
The Renaissance was a cultural “rebirth” that began in [[Florence, Italy]], but spread to all of Europe from about 1300 to 1600 (1700 in Northern Europe).
