Question

Explain the factors which led to the crisis of th 14th century

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The medieval eco­nomic revolution of the 12th and 13th cen­turies led to a boom in activity in Europe, and espe­cially in France. But this was cut short abruptly at the start of the 14th century due to a number of events: climate change, crises in agri­cul­tural pro­duction (in par­ticular the great famine of 1314-​​1317), the dev­ast­ation caused by the start of the Hundred Years' War between France and England in 1337, the various calam­ities suffered by the Byz­antine Empire, epi­demics

As a result of these epi­demics in par­ticular, the pop­u­lation in some regions of Europe was more than halved. France's pop­u­lation only returned to its 1320 level in around 1600.
