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.
