How did Europe change after the plague?

After the plague, or the Black Death, which struck Europe in the 14th century, the continent underwent significant social, economic, and cultural transformations. The massive loss of life led to a labor shortage, empowering surviving workers and contributing to the decline of the feudal system as wages increased and peasants sought better conditions. This shift fostered the emergence of a more mobile and urbanized society, ultimately paving the way for the Renaissance. Additionally, the plague prompted changes in attitudes toward religion and a questioning of established authorities, which influenced future movements in Europe.
