The power of death!

Deathy diseases have spread throughout history and some have changed the course of the future that followed them.

One such disease that spread throughout europe was in 1346 was the bubonic plague, also known as the black death as around 50% of Europe's population perished to this disease in the 14th century!

People would think that it was all darkness and death. But they would be wrong. Those who died were remembered while the living had much more in store for them.

During this time due to the fear of the disease, lower class workers refused to work with the meager wages given to them, they demanded more money for their lives that they put on the line in those turbulent times. Such that their wages even tripled!

The clergymen deemed themselves greater and the 'unskilled' labour unworthy of their rank. And so they had to pay more.

Thus In this time of death, we also saw rise in wages, decreasing inequality and the end if feudalism.
