Approximately what percentage of Europe’s population died as a result of the Bubonic plague in the fourteenth century?
thirty-three percent
five percent
fifteen percent
twenty-five percent
seventy-five percent
Explanation
The Bubonic plague of the fourteenth century, also called the Black Death, led to the deaths of approximately thirty-three percent of the population of Europe. As you might expect this led to a myriad of social, political, religious, and economic issues.

The plague led to a shortage of labor in Europe, particularly in Western Europe, which allowed those who survived to demand higher wages and improved working conditions.
