The Black Plague, which swept through Europe in the 14th century, had profound effects on the world, leading to the deaths of an estimated 25 million people, or about one-third of Europe's population. This massive loss of life resulted in labor shortages, which increased wages for surviving workers and ultimately contributed to the decline of the feudal system.
