SOCIETY
In Atlantic Protestant Europe
bourgeois traders prospered through the craft
trade industries
They became more powerful
gained access to political positions
became part of the privileged class
In Southern Catholic Europe
the economy barely recovered
nobility and clergy
maintained their positions of power and continued to reject the craft
trade industries
any other manual work they considered undignified
haute bourgeoisie
consisted of important traders, bankers and high public officials
continued to
prosper
especially in certain countries
petite bourgeoisie
included
artisans
small-scale traders
labourers
They were disadvantaged by having to pay taxes and badly affected by the crises
nobility
did not pay any taxes
They had political or military obligations
peasants
formed the majority of the population
they became
very vulnerable during agricultural crises
many of them had to resort to begging
beggars
increased in number
They lived in the cities
When the monarchs needed to increase their resources
they resorted to raising the taxes of the peasants and bourgeoisie
if this occurred in a year of bad harvests, violent social revolts broke out
In each kingdom
motives for the revolts
In France
they were politically motivated
in the British Isles
political motives were combined with religious rivalries
In Spain
they were led by secessionist movements
In Russia
they were due to ethnic divisions
The different rates at which the economies developed also caused social differences
