Previewing Main Idea
Cultural Interaction
Trade with the East and the rediscovery of ancient manuscripts caused Europeans to develop new ideas about culture and art. This period was called the “Renaissance,” meaning rebirth.
Religious and Ethical Systems
Martin Luther began a movement to reform practices in the Catholic church that he believed were wrong. That movement, the Reformation, led to the founding of the non-Catholic churches.
Revolution
The invention of the printing press allowed books and pamphlets to be made faster and more cheaply. This new technology helped the spread of revolutionary ideas in the Renaissance and the Reformation.
