long term weaking of fudelsim
The massive drop in population affected
trade, manufacturing, and the production of food
from the land. pesnatas craftsmen were
now in short supply. Survivors who had been trained
in different trades were highly valued by employers.
They had more bargaining power more
social status.
In time, this situation helped to break down
the already weakened system of feudalism. Instead
of providing their labour free in return for a lord’s
protection and support, knights and manor workers
could now demand money for their services. In
towns, workers could demand higher wages.
long term pesant unrest / revolt
Concerned by the increase in wages being demanded
(and paid), some rulers tried to introduce new laws to
keep wages low. They also tried to stop the rising cost
of food, then being forced up by black market trading
and piracy.

and power that the Church had over society and to
openly criticise some of its practices.
REANAISSANCE LONG
After the Black Death had passed, many wealthy
survivors in Europe did in art or literature
expressing their gratitude for being left
. Some became patrons. They funded talented
individuals to create paintings, build churches and
other public buildings, and to write literature. Some
encouraged scientific research, hoping that answers
might one day be found to what caused the Black
Death. known as rebirh for france
African slave trade long
start of the slave trade. The first Africans brought
to Europe as slaves were captured by Portuguese
captains . Initially established to
provide labour in Europe,
the slave trade increased as labour was needed in
these new lands. Africans from the Sahara region
began to be taken as slaves in the 14th century, at
first to boost Europe’s greatly reduced labour force
