  3. The Renaissance was a time period that spanned from the 1400s to the 1600s. This period was focused mainly on music, arts, plays, and a rebirth of knowledge. The spread of the common thoeries started in Florence, and eventually covered all of Europe. What sparked the era of revived creativity and an open mind set was an increase in international trade and overall wealth.

    The First Council of Trent was a group that reformed and sorted out the problems, abuses, and judgements with the Catholic Church in England from 1545 through 1563.

    In Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posts his 95 theses and views to the castle. Someone reprints it and redistributes it throughout Europe and accidentally sparks the Protestant Reformation.

  4. 1. The Renaissance Period was when composers displayed their more artistic freedom and individualism. It happened from 1400 to the beginning 1600s in western Europe because it allowed artists to not be as strict with their works as in the Medieval period.

    2. It was 19th council in the Catholic Church. It happened from 1545 to 1563, it happened because it was important for the sweeping decrees on self-reform.

    3. Martin Luther nailed the 95 thesis on the door to the church.
