The Europeans were inspired by the Greco-Roman times, so they created the Renaissance that helped to spread sophisticated culture throughout Europe. However, Northern Europe wasn't affected by the Renaissance until later on, when they got into Secularism (the principle that possessions are first to religion).
At this time there were countries and empires rather than civilizations. In this case, Italy most influenced the Renaissance because of it's trade opportunities and wealth. However, in terms of science and medicine it is generally accepted that the renaissance built on the foundations laid in Ancient Greece.
They brought back ancient Roman and Greek texts and the Renaissance is the rebirth of these classical, philisophical ideas.
The European Renaissance was a time where the churhc split into two major religions, the Roman Catholics and the Protestants. The Renaissance was a time where it made the people look at the Christian faith and notice its flaws. It made the people think about what the church was doing and it made them think about what powers the church was abusing.
Renaissance scholars investigated the civilizations around the northern Mediterranean, especially the Greeks and the Romans.

Renaissance means "rebirth." It typically refers to the peoples of Europe that wanted to recover lost information from Greece and Rome. They were civilizations that learned very advanced techniques for their times and eventually died out. The people living in the Middle East retained these technologies and, when the crusades were carried out, the Europeans uncovered these secrets. This inspired a cultural movement to look back to the Greeks and Romans to recover technology. Hope that helps! :)
The Renaissance was the "rebirth" of art, science, and learning after the Middle Ages, especially with regard to the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome.
