It was invented in the mid-15th century (during the Renaissance period) by a German goldsmith named Johannes Gutenberg. As it enabled the fast flow of information and encouraged the spread of new ideas, it was also a huge driving force behind the spread of Protestantism across Europe.

The printing press allowed for people to give knowledge to people in mass so things like newspaper and public information would spread faster.
