Causes of the Crusades?
The Crusades were caused because when the Seljuk Turks took control of Jerusalem, they refused Christian pilgrims. This caused an uproar and so the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I , along with the Pope, gathered an army to fight.
Based on the answer before, what is a cause of the Crusades?
The Seljuk Turks, who took control of the Holy Land, stopped letting Christians visit the Holy sites.
Which of the following is an EFFECT or IMPACT of the Crusades on Europe?
European countries learned a lot from Muslims while in the Holy Land- Weapon technology, how to trade more efficiently, and advancements in math and science.
Why did businesses need more laborers (workers)?
There was a shortage of workers because everyone was dying.
Why would businesses have to pay these skilled workers or laborers more money after the Plague struck?
Higher demand for workers so they would want to work for them.
Before the Plague, an apprentice would have to learn their trade for at least 7 years before becoming a Journeyman and then on to becoming a Master. Why, after the Plague, did apprenticeships only last a year or two instead of 7?
Apprentices did not have the time to train for 7 years, so only giving them one or two years of training forced them to become a Master faster so more people could take on the job.
Because of the Plague, feudalism was weakened. If you were a peasant who survived, why might you want to start a business or go to a school?
If there are less people, serfs can get a job easier and earn money to move out of a manor.
What is a false belief surrounding the Bubonic Plague?
Bunches of posies would prevent Europeans from contracting the disease.
How are rats connected to the spread of the Plague among humans?
The rats lived in close contact with humans, and the rats had the bacteria. The fleas would bite the rats, get infected with the disease, and then bite into the humans. So, the humans would get the plague.
