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. One of the more surprising consequences of the plague was the rising power of workers in European society. 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.

What happened to the global population in the century after the arrival of Europeans in the Americas?
It rose significantly as new crops were exchanged between continents
It rose slightly primarily due to the wealth and raw resources being shipped to Europe and Asia
It remained static, as warfare and disease negated the impact of natural population growth
It declined slightly, due to the enslavement and forced genocide of the native population of the Americas and Africa
It declined dramatically, due to the transfer of infections diseases between previously isolated populations
Explanation
Although the arrival of Europeans led to widespread death and destruction in the Americas, the global population still rose significantly in this time period. This was caused by the exchange of native crops between the Old World and the New World. Crops like potatoes and corn, which were native to the Americas, could be used to sustain the population in unexpected parts of the world -like Ireland or Eastern Europe.
