What were the effects of the Black Death in Europe?

How It Spread Spread from China across Asia (Mongol trading & communication network …) Trading ships carried it west to Mediterranean & Europe Bacteria infected fleas on rats were carriers

Effects As many as 1/3 of Europe’s population died. Prices & wages rose (value of labor increased) Landowners switched from farming to sheep raising (villagers driven off land) Merchants demanded laws to limit wages Peasant & worker uprisings

Psychological Effects Many turned to mysticism & superstitious practices Clergy fell ill and died at the same rate as everyone else – little spiritual guidance Intellectual level of the church declined after nonqualified people filled their positions Jews blamed & pogroms resulted

Flagellants Many see the plague as God’s punishment for the worlds sins
