Rise of the City States in Italy Renaissance (Part 1)

Modern human disaster started here.

There's a metro stop in Prague called Florence, pronounced florenk. It's on the yellow line, with I think possible a connection to the green line, n maybe even the red, too, can't remember.
But, it's such a small point, yet I just always loved this little bit of internationalism, it always made me feel like when you're a long way from anywhere n you see a sign with all the distant capitals marked on it.
I know, I know, not an exciting or significant thing, I just always liked that it was there, in Prague, in the Czech Republic, in central Europe, a little bit of a wave to another beautiful place, far far away!

old historic battles this is about as real as it gets ⚔️

I like to create something like this in USA.

Which was the purple big city state without name?

Firenze e Roma sono la nostra culla

Ach Norditalien :( Komm doch wieder heim ins Reich ! :))

More Renaissance! Borgia period please! Also can’t get enough of Byzantium.

I enjoy this video thank you so much

A lazy video trotting out cliches

I found your channel from an ad in oversimplified's channel. I can't even begin to express how amused I am of the production value you put into making this video. Definitely subscribed!

Not only did Muslims preserve and translate ancient classical texts that inspired Renaissance thinkers, but they also invented the scientific method and modern university system, which led to the Scientific Revolution, and pioneered medical and agricultural techniques that improved the quality of life of European ... please get your facts right before making documentaries

How did the church react to this?

A vidoc about how we made the economy of Europe? That's interesting. 😎👍

Back in our good old days 🇮🇹❤️

Opium
That started the Renaissance
Marco Polo

As a disciple of Jesus Ic cant thank my Arab bros enough for saving scripts from the catholics catholism aint Christian

Protagoras is known primarily for three claims (1) that man is the measure of all things (which is often interpreted as a sort of radical relativism) (2) that he could make the “worse (or weaker) argument appear the better (or stronger)” and (3) that one could not tell if the gods existed or not.

A pretty boring introduction, and boring voice, for such an interesting topic. Stopped soon into this listing.

Seu trabalho nesse canal é muito bom irmão, é de uma qualidade que me impressiona kkk pena que meu inglês não seja bom , mas me viro com as legendas, meus parabéns

May I ask the bibliography regarding this video? I am searching for books that explain better the medieval period in Italy. Thanks for your work!!

I really appreciate the channel's outstanding effort of comparing historical sources 💯

Renay-sance

Ok but what about how the church kept a lot of the Roman and Greek things and how they were used to help start this “rebirth”

You forgot to include Raphael among the “super protagonists” together with Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo. 😪

Where is the Northern Renaissance of Van Eyck, etc?

But the borders changed constantly. For example Genoa was not always part of “Italy,” but of Spain or whichever oligarch possessed it, and the border up north was always fluid as well.

Maybe it should be noted that the italian city-states were prominent and wealthy well before the crusades, maybe even as far back as the fall of rome, but they were major movers and shakers before 1000AD as well.

Utter Rubbish - it had nothing to do with "Humanism" and everything to do with the Roman Catholic church inventing Capitalism (along with Banking and Accounting) and Science (specifically the Scientific method).

The narrator is so irritating, i tried, I really did but ... I had to give up. I don't need pompous shouting.

E che sarebbe "renasance"? Che c'entra questo termine anglo/francese con il RINASCIMENTO?

These were not my ancestors from modern Molise, I do wonder what southern Italians were doing during the Renaissance? The music in this video is incredible, as is the illustration.

It is ironic that without the Black Death, the Classical Renaissance would never had happened. Europe already had a Renaissance beforehand called the Carolingian or Biblican Renaissance. Albeit it is not really a renaissance, more of a re-introduction of learning from the Byzantines that deviated from the Rome of Antiquity and now they rekindle that antiquity and since then we have had a bipolar mentality on the subject. But Antiquity itself is based on a bipolar mentality between Republic and Monarchy in Rome between what had existed in Athens and Sparta. Both which manifested as a bipolar mentality of governance from the Bronze age with Sparta emulating the mentality of the Hittite Empire while Athens reflected the mentality of Egypt, which was much more liberal and hands off on the governance of the people. Even though Egypt was a monarchy, it was more like a constitutional monarchy with the head of government being elected from his peers and then certified by the King or Pharoah. Egypt didn't have an actual democracy. The common people had no say, but there was relative equality amongst the elite which is still seen today in the modern Egypt.

If the Fall of the Bronze Age happened differently, it is like the Greek states may not have existed in the manner that they did and in return so would Rome and thus also the Medieval Ages and the Modernity that came from the Renaissance.

Egypt/ Africa gave "the Birth" of European civilization...
The Moors/ Africa gave Europe it's "Rebirth".

Without the Catholic financing of the Gutenberg printing press, all this would never have happened because only 1% of the population could read and everything was written by hand which made books very expensive and education was only for those involved in government like kings queens nobles princess and those in the religious practices.

I cannot listen to the ridiculous tone of the narrator.

Medici on Netflix was good season 1

Witness Me!!! Throws Profile at Like Button..

Islam brought Europe out of the dark ages through Islamic Spain and all the knowledge was passed on to the rest of Europe.

Hi everyone 👋🤗👋🤗

The Looting of Constantinople in 1204 by the 4th Crusade was, I believe, part of setting the stage 150 years later for the flowering of the renaissance. Of course 1453 with the capture of Constantinople by the Turks pulled the covers off of all the literature that had been protected for a thousand years but sequestered from Western eyes. But not mentioned was the fact that Venice was in possession of Greco-Roman knowledge especially of finances because it was founded by refugees from Attila and had never lost the connection with antiquity. Which was reinforced by connections with Constantinople all through the Middle Ages and even before..... then this has not been given due credit for the Advanced accounting systems of the Middle Ages

Supporting your content is great fun 😂

Everytime I think of Italian reunification I go back to this era, not the Roman era nor Piedmontese domination over the peninsula but a federal union such as the US or Switzerland, I only wish south italy could have kept up. The Aragonese really did a number on those areas

As a soldier, my quick impression is that the Crusades instigated the Renaissance. War is a catalyst for cultural upheavals. I look at how America has changed since our military excursion into the Middle East, how commonplace items such as hummus, beards, hookah (vaping), The Prophet, etc. have taken place in our daily lives.

Love it

🚩 The Italian Renaissance was a period in Italian history known for the development of a culture that spread across Europe and marked the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity.
