After the fall of Roman rule, Europe knew wars, epidemics, social unfairness, superstition and ignorance. During this era (commonly called the Middle Ages) the church hold the power and took advantage of people illiterateness, and made it worst. The major economic activity was agriculture; farmers had to give away their yields to feudal tyrants.
The environment was convenient for people to question their society. They just needed some guidance, which was provided by eastern scientists and philosophers escaping the Othmani empire, books were brought from the big library of Istanbul and other places to Italy. A new movement started, a vivid interest in knowledge pushed the Italians and very soon the whole Europe to seek answers, discuss and rebelled against the social rules. They realized that the society should be Human-centric, and they started admiring the potential of human beings. This cultural movement called “humanism” is the first aspect of Europe rebirth, sorry renaissance.
