Three important Things: The Scientific method developed during this time, being the gateway to new scientific theories, that we still use today. Isaac Newton was an important man during this time, discovering the theory and laws of gravity. Galileo not only opened our eyes to the universe with the telescope, but he refined the theory of planetary orbit around the sun.

2.Social Darwinism - An argument to justify economic exploitation; the fittest survive.
3. Annexation - To take over territory.
What caused it and how
The Industrial Revolution caused Imperialism because the Industrial Revolution required European nations to need more resources which influenced things such as annexation. The taking over of other countries was the only way the big Europeans countries got their resources and the land for it, as well as basically free labourers. Improvements in transportation led to people traveling more as wellas made it easier for the supplies to be taken for country to country.
Why it was important to human history
It was important because it changed the human need from food and resources that were found at home to foreign materials that were needed from other countries for the Industrial Revolution. As well as shaping many continents into what they are currently, such as Africa, with the Berlin Conference in 1884 to 1885.
How it affected people around the world
Europeans had gotten the good end with gaining economic resources along with Industrial Resources. And depending what native people it was they got benefits and loses. Such as India, they gained technology and other lost a lot and were treated poorly.
What it caused and how
Imperialism caused WW1 because the land was all taken. Yet countries wanted more land which led to tension and countries being mad at one another.

WHAT WAS IT?
The renaissance era was the rebirth of classical Greece and Rome. It started in Italy but spread to Europe when they saw how different and more positive it was than their former way of life. It was based around the idea of humanism. The De Medici family owned a bank in Italy and helped business owners keep their businesses. The also payed for artists and inventors to go to school which caused people to actually want to have some sort of knowledge in the two areas thus starting the Renaissance which was also known as a quest for knowledge.
3 IMPORTANT WORDS OR CONCEPTS
Humanism- The idea that humans have free independent thought and that we can ultimately create anything we want to.
Education- This was important because before the renaissance everybody was very unintelligent. The Greeks and Romans were both intelligent and productive and the renaissance was formed from that image. Education became a necessary thing in the Renaissance because it was all about knowledge.
Art/Inventions- The renaissance was all about the new and improved world. With the DeMedici family offering certain artists and inventors the opportunity to go to school, the technology became more advanced and the art became more detailed.
WHAT CAUSED IT?
The Black Death of the “Dark Ages” caused the renaissance. The Black DEath killed millions of people and the entire time they all thought it was a punishment from God. When the church did not help them the people turned away causing them to have to think for themselves. When the Black Death ended the people wanted to be in a happier and cleaner time.
Why it was important to human history?
The inventions that were made in this time period are still very important today. Thing like the printer and the machine gun were made during the renaissance.
