May 29, 1453, is the anniversary of the beginning of the Renaissance Period and marks the day Constantinople, today called Istanbul, fell to the Ottoman Empire. This event signaled the end of the Byzantine period and Christian rule in the East.
The Renaissance period would cover the next 300 years, ending in 1789 on the eve of the French Revolution (or, some might say - in 1815, with the close of the Napoleonic era).
The Renaissance is one of European history's most interesting and disputed periods. During this time, the arts, sciences, political movements, and medicine made significant gains, leading to an era of enlightenment and forming the foundation of today's modern world and, most notably, western civilization.
