What if the Reformation never happened?

There would've never been a Soviet Union; there never would've been any Red Scares; Russia would've probably remained a backward monarchy (though millions of people wouldn't have died under Stalin's regime as well as Lenin's, since most of his regime was marked by the Russian Civil War), and when the Nazis came to power in Germany and began conquering most of Europe, they would've likely succeeded in conquering Russia which would've been a huge victory for the German war cause and would've probably contributed to a Nazi victory in World War II; assuming of course there would've been a World War II. Had the Russian Revolution never happened, there's also a chance Russia would've never left the war, although since Russia left the war the same year the U.S. entered, Germany would've probably still lost. Who can say, all this can be open to interpretation. The point is, had the Russian Revolution never happened, a lot of the major events in modern history would've never happened.

Whats the reason for the rise of cities during middle ages?

The rise of towns and cities came from a combination of things.

Agricultural developments increased the productivity of farmers, so larger portions of the population could work off the farms.

Transportation improved as times became less anarchic, as migrations and raids declined, and this made transportation hubs, such as harbors, important centers.

Fashion benefited from imports, and spread the desire to buy imported goods, putting money into the hands of merchants.

Industry, such as the wool trade, favored concentrations of people.

Learning increased, and universities were created.

Middle class tradesmen and merchants formed guilds and leagues of guilds, gaining political power with the creation of communes (meaning republican cities) and the Hanseatic League.

The destruction of the Knights Templar created a demand for international banks.

The 'Early Modern' period referred to by historians is roughly the period from 1450-1750.

What is a major focus of renaissance art as opposed to medieval art?

Most medieval art was commisioned by the Church (who had the money for such things) and therefore depictions were things like Jesus or other people from the Bible, or any desired religious theme. Artists had a quite low position in society and were dependant upon such commissions. Pictures and sculptures were stylized and idealized as best the artist could to reflect the holy nature of the subject matter.

During the Renaissance, artists were also commissioned by the church, but also increasingly by wealthy citizens, many of whom wanted non-religious art like portraits of themselves or loved ones, or illustrations of a favorite secular story. There was a great interest in science and nature at the time and a retreating of the idea that the physical, secular world was automatically sinful and evil. As a result of this change in thinking, artists like Leonardo and Michelangelo (to name the most well-known) studied natural processes and forms; including the human body, and much more lifelike depictions were created now that a new respect was felt for these forms.

Who gave the Renaissance its name?

The Renaissance is French for "rebirth". The name for this period was created over time by historians and it is difficult to say "he did it" as many people used it at different times in history and in different languages ( where it would be called something else of course. )

Also, there has been much debate among historians as to the usefulness of Renaissance as a term and as a historical delineation.

Some have called for an end to the use of the term, which they see as the use of history to validate and glorify modern ideals.

The short answer is "We called it the Renaissance". ( We being mostly Europeans who lived after the period.)
