clear all

Explanation:

The work of Islamic mathematicians, philosophers, and scientists preserved and transmitted classical knowledge (like Greek and Roman works) which was crucial for the Renaissance. The Crusades were military campaigns, the Reconquista was the Christian reconquest of Spain, and the Great Schism was a church split—none relate to Islamic scholars' role in starting these. The Renaissance was fueled by rediscovery of ancient knowledge, much of which was preserved by Islamic scholars.
