One impact was that wages more than doubled, and serfdom became obsolete because of the need for workers.

The 1918 Flu Pandemic killed more people than either of those wars and possibly more than both combined.

Global cooling caused major crop failures, which led to the European population being weakened. When the mites from the rats infected these weakened people, the Black Death was catastrophic.
Naturally, the population blamed the Jews (just like today).

I think we’re seeing it happen for good right about now.

And then we have bo, adding his ‘blackness’ and death to civilization, to complete the cycle.

Some did. The vast majority, however, blamed the sinfulness of Christians.

The 1918 Flu Pandemic killed more people than either of those wars and possibly more than both combined. I lost a Grandfather (in New York) and two Great-Uncles (in Florida) to that flu epidemic... Two more Great-Uncles to the effects of Mustard Gas in WW1 a few years later!

It was the Black Death that changed the trajectory of Christianity. Pre-Black Death art focused on the Surmon on The Mount: a positive uplifting message of hope and love. Post Black Death, the DEATH of Christ is emphasized.

The 1918 Flu Pandemic killed more people than either of those wars and possibly more than both combined. Coincidentally, that was the year my father was born, in Montpelier, Vermont.

The Black Death was so much worse than the Spanish Flu, WWI & WWII, combined. Possibly more actual dead, and definitely more on a percentage basis.

Exactly. It was the end of the Medieval Warm Period. You know, the historical event the IPCC emails said they had to “get rid of.”

Turns out the culprits are likely the Muslims, who introduced the plague to Europe by heaving plague-infested corpses over castle walls.

Perhaps that explains the elites’ mad drive for mass immigration into the West.
