The fifteenth century was a period of great change and progress in Europe. It saw the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance, which brought with it advances in art, science, literature, and philosophy. The invention of printing allowed for a wider dissemination of knowledge than ever before. In politics, nation-states began to emerge as powerful entities that would shape European history for centuries to come. In religion, Martin Luther's Protestant Reformation challenged the authority of the Catholic Church. The it also saw significant exploration and colonization by Europeans who were eager to expand their empires around the world. All these changes laid the groundwork for modern Europe as we know it today.
