During the period of 1492 to 1750, Europe experienced drastic changes during their Age of Discovery. As a result of contact and colonization, Western Europe’s economy, political, social, and military systems changed, but also maintained certain aspects that enabled them to build strong civilizations. Such changes include increased (international) trade routes, more centralized governments such as monarchies, decreased unifying influence of the Catholic Church, and increased interest in military conquest and expansion.
My final thoughts towards English 1301 would probably be described in one word which would be awesome; from what I learned in class will help me out towards my path to the future I understand that I still have some errors as I write essays or journals; but I will like to believe that I will get better as I stay in English and I work more on my dents that I have.
Between the 1300s and 1500s, Europe experienced a period of cultural rebirth known as the Renaissance, marking the transition from medieval times to modern times. The Renaissance brought new importance to individual expression, self-consciousness and worldly experience.
During the 1500, exploration for new trade routes began in ernest. Countries wanted to find new products and new lands. The existing ports were getting rich from trading and the desire for more foreign goods was an incentive for exploration. This was the end of the Middle ages and forward into Modern times.
From 450 CE- 1550 CE Europe underwent large changes while maintaining key characteristics. This can best be shown through the evolution of Europe’s culture and society. Religion played a huge role culturally, despite the church and Catholicism losing power by 1550. Europe went from a period of prosperity into a period of few innovations by 476, before entering the Renaissance in the 1300s. Throughout this time society was constantly shifting and changing, though it retained several historical characteristics.
Western Europe went through a lot changes through the 8th and 14th century it was the rise of the medieval culture.The Church started to gain power as Christianity started to gain popularity throughout all over Western Europe.

Looking into the first week of AHIST 1401, I recognize this may be the most difficult class I have studied at the university. The syllabus schedule appears to be filled with volumes of reading material, written assignments, peer reviews, and quizzes that our class will be challenged with. Although there will be much to do this term, I am enthusiastic about the journey and the value it offers me. AHIST 1401 has already challenged me to view the world differently due to the details around us. In all, my strength is in time management, dedication to the material, and willingness to accept the journey offered here. This being said, my shortcoming may be the volume of information ingested, processed, then disseminated. While reviewing the peer assessment
From 100 CE to 1000 CE, Europe’s geography and political system changed dramatically due to new needs. A once powerful empire sank to its knees and receded like a flood, lighting the way for many new territories and borders and leaving war and chaos behind as they attempted to settle down.

There are many differences between life in the Renaissance and life in the Middle Ages. Life in the Renaissance was more complex, yet easier. First, trade and travel were different at both times. According to “Growing Trade”, people during the Renaissance started to use shipping to ship valuable goods using gold currency.

The source “The Printing Press” states that Johann Gutenberg revolutionized a printer which allowed for more books the be made. This means that more people can read literature and see the beauty in it. The printer didn’t exist during the Middle Ages,
We call the fourteenth century in Europe the Renaissance, a term that literally means rebirth, because there was so much advancement, and the culture started becoming more secular. This was the cause of the end of the Middle Ages, a period of little to no growth for the Europeans. During the Renaissance, people began to think of humans as beings who were not meant to be god-like. They believed that people should live their lives focusing on their future while being on earth, not base all of their actions on getting to heaven. People started to study anatomy, proving the original belief of the body being governed by stars wrong. They started making their art focused on earthly beings and writing about the beauty of the earth. In doing this, they started pushing further away from the authority of the Bible and their curiosity spiked leading them to answer questions that had been left unanswered. This
During the historical time period from 1450 to 1650, western Europe was arranged on an era of extraneous investigation and financial growth that distorted society. This duration took part in attending a stretch of European civilization to go a long way off of the borders of the continent.

In the time between the 1300's and the 1500's, a great transformation took place in Europe. Prior to the 1300's, Europe had experienced what has been called the Middle Ages, but after 1500, the continent was fully into the period known as the Renaissance. The impetus for the transformation that took place was the onslaught of the Black Death, or a two hundred year nightmare in which the Bubonic Plague devastated European society. The changes that took place as a result of the Plague altered the economic, social, artistic, political, and intellectual foundations of Europe forever.
