Driving Forces of the Renaisance

War and Rivalry were the most powerful driving force in the Renaissance because, War and Rivalry created compitision between the different city states. Then because there was compitision, it caused them to build taller buildings, make creative inventions, or even become smarter people. If the Renaissance didn't have War and Rivalry then people would not have the motivation to do the great things that they rediscovered through ancient knowledge.
