Causing of black death
Nowadays, we believe that black death is caused by infection with the bacterium Yersinia pestis. Black death is first spread by infected rats through fleas and bites.Then it spreads quickly from an infected person to others who haven't been infected yet.
The Blackdeath, which originated in China and Central Asia in the mid-1300s, spread to Europe in 1347 when an Eurasian army attacked the Genoese trading port of Kaffa in Crimea.
The Famine
Raphael
In Europe, people prayed for God to end the sickness. However, plague seemingly never-ending, due to this and the corruption of the church,Europeans began to turn away from the church because they felt that the God they had been worshiping could not end the sickness. So the church couldn't control the Europeans as before, leading to the fade of feudalism. Also, with the success of the movements of reformers, the power of the church is further decreasing. The decline of the church brought on the resurgence of the power of local kings and lords. The decline also ended the crusades. This peaceful period of time is enough to allow the common person to focus on other fields such as the arts, science, etc. The end of feudalism represents the end of the Middle Ages and the start of the Renaissance.
In 1314 and 1315, during the two years Europe experienced massive crop failure due to population growth and agricultural expansion. 5-12% of northern Europe's population died due to starvation and related diseases. This famine exacerbated the Black Death.Crop harvests returned back in 1317, but food supplies took another five years to replenish.
The Crusades increased trading between Europe and different continents, especially Asia. The trades had led to the cities located on their routes growing into large city states quickly such as Florence . Due to the increasing trade caused by the city states, the merchants became wealthy, and their affluence led to a desire for art for spiritual fulfillment. As trade and city-states prospered, rich merchants rose to prominence in society. They craved more than just wealth; they wanted both cultural and spiritual fulfillment too.

During middle ages ,the Muslim world was more advanced compared with Europe; the Europeans, through crusades, were exposed to new ideas in medicine, astronomy, philosophy, mathematics, and ancient literature from Muslims. The Crusaders brought back different kinds of goods, for example, oil, spices, and fruit, from the Muslim world. These goods caused high demand from Europeans. They wanted these goods more, thus leading to increased trade between Europe and the East, which led to the rise of city states.
While the Nobles and knights left their hometown and went to the Crusade ,They could not control their slaves or serfs as that much before so this phenomenon led to the decreasing or reduce of feudalism
When Pope Urban II called for the first crusade, around 30,000 warriors from Western Europe left their homeland and answered by traveling to the Holy Land. This was caused by religious convictions.Because the Christians believed it was their priority responsibility to rake back the place where they believed Jesus was killed and revived from death, they went to heaven as well. Likewise, Jews and Muslims have religious ties to the region.
