Prelude to disaster Poor harvests led to famines in the years 1315-1322. Fewer calories meant increased susceptibility to disease and less energy for growing food. Diseases killed many people and animals. Economies slowed down and population growth came to a halt. Weak governments were unable to deal with these problems. Starving people turned against rich people and Jews. English kings tried to regulate the food supply, but failed. The Black Death Genoese ships brought the bubonic plague--the Black Death--to Europe in 1347. The bacillus lived in fleas that infested black rats. Some claim that it came from the east by way of the Crimea. Pathology and care The bubonic form of the disease was transmitted by rats; the pneumonic form was transmitted by people.

2 [Type text] 1 Fran?ois Michel Le Tellier: Louvois I was born in Paris in 1641, and from an early age my prestigious father, Michel le Tellier, began training me for my job. My father and I both worked under his majesty Louis XIV, and I succeeded him as war minister after his death. From the instruction received by my father, my talent in the state of military affairs quickly won me the trust of his majesty. Soon, I was made a secr?taire of war for the entire French army. King Louis XIV took matters into his hands personally, and passed all his instructions and demands to the army through me. I was literally the link between the king and his military. Together, my father and I implemented a chain of restructurings for the French armada at the will of his majesty.

2 [Type text] 1 Challenges of the Dutch Revolution In the early 17th century, the Dutch Republic was a daunting European nation that survived many trials in order to secure its safety, union, and success.

The Dutch Republic faced foreign invasion, economic losses, and civil struggle during this period of warfare-which challenged the general wellness of the Netherlands-causing adverse views from both alien and internal perspective.

Christian Choe AP European History Chapter 12: The Crisis of the Later Middle Ages jh Prelude to Disaster In the 14th century, there was an inflation in Northern Europe. The primary yields during this era were grains, livestock, and dairy products. This inflation was the result of various storms. Geographers labeled this time of agricultural hardship as ?The Little Ice Age?. The several storms ruined many crops such as wheat, oats, and hay, while providing poor harvests. The Great Famine of 1315 ? 1322 There were a number of storms that brought along torrential rains which ruined harvests and affected the society. The lesser amounts of food released disease onto infants, children, and the elderly. The increase in starvation among the working class led to less productivity.
