Driving Forces of the Renaissance

The one main driving force I think was used during the renaissance was the rivalry between city states. One reason is because, causing them to constanly fight it forced the Italians to make more weapons and im proving them each time. This made lots of progress in technology. This image shows an example of some of the weapons they might have used back then.

Another important Driving force is the Banking and Trading. This is improtant because, people wanted to find new routes to places and were able to discover lands etc.
This is also important because, the bakning could increase with the exploration of trading.
