Rankings

The Native american renaissance affected indigenous people in North America. Although it mostly affected writers, it also affected all indigenous people as a whole since it affected economic and culture too.

The Irish renaissance only affected a small amount of people. Mostly writers and scholars.

The european renaissance has most likely affected the most people. It has affected europeans, north americans, and you could even connect it to everyone in the world. This is because the european renaissance really promoted science.

The African Renaissance affected all africans. This renaissance was made to stop racism, corruption, and poverty in Africa. They promoted their culture and ways of life.

The Harlem renaissance greatly affected all black people. This renaissance raised awareness for all black people.

The Chinese Renaissance has only affected Chinese people, since it is a movement to bring back culture to the Chinese people.

The south american renaissance mostly affected students. The South American renaissance featured a revival of education.

Here, I decided to talk about who it affected. Some renaissances were directed mostly towards certain people, and others affected many. The european renaissance won this round because it has affected most everyone on the globe. The last renaissance this round is the Irish renaissance, since it only really affected Irish writers and scholars.
