Explanation:

The western West was culturally backward compared to other regions. The medieval West was dominated by the thinking of the Catholic Church, which defended archaic ideas and values, condemned modernity and did not let culture evolve.

At this time, the Renaissance considered themselves "modern" and believed that they were reviving the splendor of ancient Greek and Roman culture.
