To me, the most lasting consequence of the Late Middle Ages was the Plague. The Plague killed 33% of England's population and had the biggest, longest lasting consequence in comparison to the other problems. The Hundred-Year War also had death rates and consequences for England but overall, the Plague did the most damage in comparison with the economic, social, and political categories.

Eventually, people started to question the church after two popes were elected. It made no sense to people, they had no clue who to listen to or follow. That and the fact that dissenters and political supporters started looking for a more fulfilling group of people to lead them. In summary, the church started getting less and less power now that the plague had happened.

The Black Plague was the center of most of the Late Middle Ages problems. The effects of this were economic, political, and social. Economically, there was a huge decline, shortages in workers, and revolts from the peasants. This, politically, basically challenged the Feudal System overall. Basically, the Plague messed everything up more and more. In the photo, you can see a doctor trying to give time to a skeleton, indicating that the person is a dead person walking.The outfit is what doctors wore to protect themselves from the infection. They believed that the beak being stuffed with herbs and "protective" things would ward off the infection.

The Little Ice Age played a large role in the disasters in the Late Middle Ages. The impacts of this were crop failure, decline in population, famine, and poverty. You can see in the photo the glacial advancements overrunning the town making it hard to do daily work.

The Church in the Late Middle Ages had one of the biggest influences even-so more than the King. When there were disasters, the people looked to the Church for answers. "Why is God punishing us?" "What do we do to make God happy again?". At some points, the church had more power than the King; for example, if the church wanted to, they could intercept the King's word and do what they wanted. They had the biggest influence over what happened during the Late Middle Ages.

Symptoms and the Spread the Black Plague

# data[].attributes.body
The Black Plague was so dangerous because it was spread quickly and very easily. A family member or friend could be sitting there and the next day be dead from the plague. A ship could be coming into the harbor with all dead people besides the people controlling where the ship is going. It would be set back out to be lit on fire to prevent the spread but at that point the damage would already be done. The plague is air-born, spread through touch, food, air, etc. It was such a big problem because of how easy and quickly it was spread.

In the end of this long war, France was the victor. In 1450, France won again at the Battle of Formigny and rewon Normandy. The war officially ended in 1453 with another victory at the Battle of Castillon.

The Hundred-Year War was initially started because France and England were fighting over control in Aquataine, the French crown, and Wool trade flanders. Joan of Arc led France to a victory before being captured and burned at the stake by England. Impacts from this war on France were that England had to leave France. Impacts on England was the War of the Roses, and on both was taxation and struggle to create new modern states.

The Middle Ages were basically one disaster after another. The Black Death plagued the Middle Ages for a few years, later reappearing in time to come. The Little Ice Age distracted people and was seen as punishment from God, along with the plague. The Hundred-Year War was fought between France and England over land in Europe. The Decline of the Church was inevitable but was still interesting to watch. After the election of two popes, people decided to stop letting the church decide everything for them.

"During the Middle Ages, the Church was a major part of everyday life. The Church served to give people spiritual guidance and it served as their government as well. Now, in the 20th century, the church's role has diminished. It no longer has the power that it used to have. Television has become more powerful than the church."
