'''The Renaissance''' holds it roots in the taking of the Byzantine capital of [[Constantinople]] by the [[Ottoman Turks]] in the year 1453 A.D. After the fall of the western half of the Roman Empire, the Eastern half continued to flourish as the [[Byzantine Empire]] 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 as their empire was dismembered.
