1453 is claimed as the end of the Middle Ages and as an official start to the Renaissance.
Organize the sequence of events below as evidence for this claim.
Read through each event looking for key words and dates that connect the story together.
Check out the hint section for awesome picture hints with dates.

The Roman refugees bring with them to their new homes Medieval Greek and Roman culture, ancient texts, traditional stories, Greek foods, and more.
In 1492, Italian man Cristoforo Colombo (Christopher Columbus) from the Republic of Genoa convinces Spanish monarchs to fund his expedition across the Atlantic Ocean in hopes of discovering a new trade route to India and the Far East. He instead discovers trade routes to North America, arguably starting the Age of Exploration.
In 1453, The Ottoman Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror puts a decisive final end to the Roman Empire (Eastern Rome, The Byzantines) by capturing the capital city Constantinople.
Throughout the Middle Ages but especially in the 1300s, the Republics of Venice and Genoa set up merchant colonies across the Mediterranean Sea to gain access to trade routes to the Far East.
Greek speaking Roman (Byzantine) refugees flee Greek lands to escape the Muslim Turks. The majority of the refugees end up settling in the Italian Peninsula thanks to Genoese and Venetian merchants.
Italian people who had already had an interest in their Roman heritage were now able to talk to Roman refugees and use Byzantine knowledge to rediscover ancient Greek and Roman culture.
Italian people have rediscovered their heritage but still want to trade for spices and other goods from the Far East but can't because the Ottoman Empire stops them.
A Venetian merchant named Marco Polo traveled to China along the Silk Road between 1271 and 1295. When he comes back he brings luxury goods and stories from the Far East.
