What happened to civilization after the black death?

Question

What happened to the surriving people when almost everyone was killed?

Answer 1

One consequences of the Black Death was a cessation of wars. Also a sudden slump in trade immediately followed but were only of short duration. A more lasting and serious consequence was the drastic reduction of the amount of land under cultivation due to the deaths of so many labourers. This proved to be the ruin of many landowners. The shortage of labour compelled them to substitute wages or money rents in place of labour services in an effort to keep their tenants. There was also a general rise in wages for artisans and peasants. These changes brought a new fluidity to the hitherto rigid stratification of society.

The psychological effects of the Black Death were reflected north of the Alps (not in Italy) by a preoccupation with death and the afterlife evinced in poetry, sculpture, and painting; the Roman Catholic church lost some of its monopoly over the salvation of souls as people turned to mysticism and sometimes to excesses.

1) The Black Death reduced the population of Europe by 1/3. Most immediately, a sudden surplus in goods and food supplies accelerated a major recession.

2) Since there was now a shortage of skilled craftsmen, however, prices quickly rose again. Upward mobility now became possible on a larger scale primarily because the Black Death had also wiped out a disproportionate percentage of the lower classes.

3) Urbanization accelerated as peasants left depopulated villages.

4) Nuclear families in many cases replaced extended families since the elderly were often those most likely to be victims of the Plague.

5) The marriage and birth rate rose dramatically, although the population would not begin to rise until 1470.

6) The Church grew much wealthier (all those masses said for the dead), but a cynical public didn't have as much respect for the clergy. The Protestant Reformation and Secular Humanism probably are the indirect result of the Black Death.

Answer 4

First of all, Blacks didn't have a flourishing civilization thousands of years ago in Ancient Egypt, Egyptians did, and Egyptians are African. Second, all civilizations either fall prey to self destruction at some point, or failure to advance technologically. Egypt has failed to ascend technologically because they haven't developed any major advances within the last hundred years.

Answer 5

Uuh, they continued their lives. During this time period, there wasn't a big scene about a bunch of people dying. The rest of the people were just trying to not be malnourished or diseased. A lot of people died and it had an impact on history in the long term, but no one really cared at the time in that they were hoping they would live.

MTV was invented and the final decline of civilization became irreversible.
