How did enlightenment start and spread?

The seeds of the enlightenment came from theology. The Systematic Theology of Maimonides, Thomas, and Calvin, enabled philosophers to think systematically. That gave the basis. Then, the Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453. Thousand of scholars, Christians and Jews, came to Europe. During the Reformation, the ancient wisdom of Rome and Greece became known all over Europe. In 1648 the 30 years war ended in Europe. At that point, religious wars ended. Also at that point, after so many Christians had been killing Christians, interest in Christianity declined. Intellectuals began looking for something to replace it. In England Francis Bacon proposed the idea that Science could solve a number of problems that had never previously been solved. He would influence all that followed. His thinking would influence the Enlightenment. Thomas Hobbes came up with his ideas on materialism and law. They would have an influence. Then john Locke stepped into the void. With his ideas, the enlightenment began. Hume continued it. In France, it influenced Voltaire and Rousseau. As people involved in the Enlightenment visited other nations, it spread there. Then in France it turned into the French Revolution. The Romantic Movement was a reaction against the Enlightenment.
