Unlike much of the rest of Western Europe in the 13th century: C) Italy was divided into city-states where middle-class citizens seized power and promoted international exchange. This meant that different city-states had different sizes of wealth, different people running them and were able to freely promote international exchange without the authority of Italy overlooking this.
