Middle Ages vs. The Renaissance

After the Middle Ages, The Renaissance happened. There were many differences between the time. One thing that was different was that there was now gun powder, which ended the era of knights. Also the "new world" was discovered, which was a great achievement. The last thing that made the Renaissance different from the middle ages were that they invented the compass. The compass now helped travel and explore the world more easily.
