14th Century Europe
The 14th century in Europe was a challenging and transformative period marked by social upheaval, wars, and disease. It saw the devastation of the Black Death, which drastically reduced the population, and ongoing conflicts like the Hundred Years' War between England and France. This century also experienced economic shifts, the decline of feudalism, and cultural movements that laid groundwork for the Renaissance. Despite turmoil, it was a time of resilience, innovation, and change that shaped modern Europe’s political, social, and cultural landscape.
