THE RENAISSANCE

BEFORE THE RENAISSANCE THE PLAGUE TOOK 50,000 OF EUROPE’S CITIZENS HENCE

In the late 1300s the Black Death (plague) has ended.Then Europeans started to focus and become reborn

AFTER THE PLAGUE

POSITIVES OF THE PLAGUE

• Workers got higher wage.
• Europe’s economy grew again.
• More food supply become available helping boost economy

THE PLAGUE HAD MORE POSITIVES

• One positive result was the reopening of the Silk Road,

When the Roman Empire and the Han dynasty fell, soldiers no longer protected travelers result the Silk Road closed.

Then in the 1200s the mongols took over China resulting in the Silk Road becoming safer.

MARCO POLO!

The family the polos traveled from Europe to China! Finding paper money, coal used for fuel.

Marco Polo also met with the mongol empire Kublai Khan, the polos stayed a good 20 years before moving back to Venice.

By the late 1300s four northern Italian cities became trading centers Florence, Genoa, Milan, Venice.

Florence specifically stands out as an great trade and wealth coming into Italy because of wool, trade but banking trade increased keeping it for merchants.

HUMANISM
