BLACK DEATH
The disease came from flea bites, that were transported on rats.
Religous effects: More people turned to the church. Some people turned their backs, because they believed God was doing this to them.
Political effects:The time of the black plague was the end of Feudal society. Europe got a new King to lead them and many of the noblemen died.
1/3 of Europe's population died in 5 years. It took 400 years to get the population back up. People that had specialty careers, such as blacksmiths,also died, so there were not many people to make things and not many to sell things. People that were once peasants demanded higher wages for their work because they were the only ones left to do it. There weren't as many people to help with law enforcement, so murders and rapes were happening more and more frequently.
