Warm-up #181) Create a bubble map showing the effects of

the Black Death in Europe?

Effects of the Black

Death

Economic• The Manor system

declines as peasants moved from the country to the towns.

• Greater value was placed on labor

• Prices and Wages rose

• Farming land was given over to pasturing, which was much less labor-intensive

• This change in farming led to a boost in the cloth industry

Social• Villages are abandoned • Minorities, mostly Jews,

were blamed for the disease. They faced violence, discrimination, and exile.

Political* The Feudal system declines because peasants can demand better treatment and wages.

Religious • People question

the church and its power decreases

• New religious sects form

25 million people die (about 30% of Europe's population).

question church teachings

Effects of the Reconquista • It created “Fueros”, which were charters granted to Christian peasants to escape the feudal

system by establishing settlements in areas abandoned by the Muslims. This was an attempt to repopulate Iberia with Christians, but would lay the foundations for the charters given to settlers in the Americas.

• It was an inspiration for the Crusading culture that arose in Europe. Pope Urban II even called on Knights fighting on the Iberian peninsula to stay there, rather than joining the march to the Holy Lands, because their cause was just as important.

• The culture of religious warfare also led to the expulsion of the Jews and Muslims living in the Iberian peninsula. This established Catholicism as the dominant religion in Iberia. Spanish Inquisition kills over 2,000 heretics.

• It shaped the Spanish culture of Christianizing other cultures that would become important in the colonization of the Americas.

• The Reconquista led directly into the voyage of Columbus. Ferdinand and Isabella sponsored Columbus’ voyage in part as a celebration of their victory over the Muslims in Granada, the last Muslim emirate in Iberia.
