What was the ultimate effects of the black death on the European population and effect as a whole?

Answer 1

Over 100 million people died. About 1 in 3. We actually didn't grow in population as we had been doing and do now. It took 100 years to recover.

Answer 2

Well, the rich people in Europe (the royalty and church) thought that they were all that and a bag of potato chips. But, the black plague hit everyone, and this showed them that, maybe they were just like everyone else after all.

Also, many, many people died. This means that lots of peasants died, so the soil wasn't being cultivated. Because of this, the church was not receiving their parts of the harvest, and this greatly affected their food supply. On top of that, there were no people to pay the taxes, so the church began to become more and more poor.

As I said before, the church and the royalty was dying too, not just the poor. So when a member of the church or a member of royalty died, they had to be replaced, which was a very difficult process.

Answer 3

The first epidemic is variously estimated to have killed a fifth, a quarter or a third or more Europe-wide: other outbreaks followed for centuries, but the population is thought to have reached its nadir in the late 15th century. One problem is that population tended to recover between epidemics, only to be cut back again, so the number who died is different to the population decline. England is reckoned by some to have lost a half of its population over the whole period; some areas of Europe suffered far less. The total may have fallen from 80 million to 55m by the 1470s, with the biggest drop in 1348-53. Numbers recovered in the 16th century, reaching 100m by 1600. England suffered its last major outbreak in 1665, France in 1720 and Russia in 1771.

Answer 4

black death killed millions. Europe lost 30-60% of total population.

Answer 5

the Black Death destroyed European economy. Due to the Black Death 75 to 200 million people died. Thus.

Answer 6

The Black Death (Bubonic Plague) peaked in Europe between 1347 and 1350 with 30% to 65% dead.

Answer 7

It reduced the number overall by 50%.

Answer 8

Cut it nearly in half.
