21. It is estimated to have killed 25 million Europeans, about one third of the entire population of Europe The Black Death arrived in Europe along Asian trade routes. It was transmitted to humans by fleas that lived on infected rats. The Black Death shrunk the peasant population. This made peasant labor more valuable. Feudalism came to an end in many European kingdoms. Jewish communities were blamed for the plague. They became victims of violence and persecution. Anti-Semitism became widely accepted in Western Europe. Many German Jews fled to Poland, where they were welcomed by the Polish nobles. A large and thriving Jewish community developed in Eastern Europe. The plague killed victims of every social class. Nobles increasingly relied upon the monarchs for wealth, influence, and power. European monarchs began to develop greater economic, and political power over their kingdoms. A large percentage of priests died. A poorer quality of clergy created increasing levels of corruption in the Roman Catholic Church. People became angry and dissatisfied with the Roman Catholic Church.
