The 100 years war
The crossbow and gunpowder AFFECTED the 100 years war because these weapons could pierce through armour. so there was no point in having KNIGHTs or armor any more. |
~Because of the use of trade, serfs became more independent and didn't have to work for the lord.

The Black Death
Hello there, my name is Halle and I am a proud survivor of the black death. I live in Europe and for miles there are dead body. it is sickening, piles and piles of corpses. I feel very disgusted with the area and sometimes I think it would be more pleasant if I died with most of the other serfs. I have mourned the death of all of my friends and family, there are only about 10 people that survived the plague including me. When others got sick, they would grow huge growths on their skin. they would get fevers and throw up regularly. now, there are just a bunch of dead, dark, decaying bodies everywhere, it is very gruesome. |
The barter economy
now that there was peace, people started to communicate and travel more. people could travel across the sea and cities started to develop as trading hubs. |
~One problem with the barter system was finding somebody who actually wanted your product.
