population
the population was nearly wiped out. These where harsh times. nearly fifty percent of the population was wiped out. Few people lived only a few wealthy people. People use to believe it was a punishment from God. Some popes made it alive that is why they thought it was a punishment from God only wealthy and some popes lived. They would pile the dead bodies on top of each other since there wasn't enough time because people were dieing to fast they would open holes in the ground and dump them. That would affect the crops and water. I believe that the black death made a turning point in history because it increased in the cleaning habits because it made people think about cleaning and since back then they were not very clean they maybe washed their hands more often and took more showers because it made them realize that they needed to be a little bit cleaner. Also made them fight against each other and make wars against each other they would catapoult the dead bodies and throw them that wasn"t even clean. It also increased on population more and more people were dieing because of the disease people were dieing every day .Europe lost fifty percent of its population. People were dieing everyday and their was nothing people could do about it. So many people were dieing that they could not count how many people were dieing they were loosing track of how many people were dieing.
