This appears to be a homework problem. Students are expected to demonstrate effort and show some work. When was the Renaissance period? What does one know about the Renaissance?

I'm studying for an AP European history test, and I do understand the information I've learned about it. I am just trying to get as much information as I can on the Renaissance.

Where have you looked? Presumably one has a textbook.

What happened to various governments or political systems during the Renaissance period?

What developed with respect to religion?

What developed with respect to science?

What developed with respect to exploration and trade?

What developed with respect to education?

What major conflicts/wars were there?

One could start here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance - but look at other resources.

I have studied in my textbook. I was just wondering if anyone would be able to explain some events of the Renaissance, or give me online resources to study, I was not trying to ask for answers.

Thank you for the questions to consider.

I think the best way to consider the importance of the Renaissance is to consider how things must have been before. As you learn about the numerous developments of that time, that might help to put it all into context.
