The Renaissance was a movement involving a number of countries. It began in Italy around 1150. Around that date, a fundamentalist reaction occurred in Islam. Thousands of the best educated Arabs had to flee to Europe. The musicians, artists, physicians, etc., all came to escape persecution. Thus, the leaders from a civilization more advanced than Europe brought their learning with them. They would train the people who would take the new learning to other parts of Europe.
