The characteristics of Italian economic and political development in the late Middle Ages that helped lead to the Italian Renaissance were the city-states being centers of trade that competed in cultural development and their involvement in the Hundred Years' War which increased pressure on the feudal system. The isolation of the Italian city-states also spared them from the devastating effects of the Black Death. However, it is important to note that there was no central monarchy in Italy at this time, so this statement is not accurate.
