30s - Q4
How did the outbreak of the bubonic plague in Europe contribute to the decline of feudalism?
The dirty conditions in which people lived contributed greatly to the spread of the bubonic plague. The bacteria that cause the disease are carried by fleas.
At the time, though, no one knew where the disease came from or how it spread. Terrified people falsely blamed the plague on everything from the positions of the planets to lepers and to Jews.
Historians suspect that the plague began in Central Asia, possibly in China. It spread throughout China, India, and the Middle East.
Power shifted somewhat from nobles to common people. Since so many workers had died, the few who remained could demand higher pay and more rights.
30s - Q5
How did the outbreak of war contribute to the decline of feudalism?
The war and how it was waged shifted power from lords to monarchs and common people. New military technology, such as longbows and crossbows, made knights and castles less important.
