Which was an effect of the plaque?

The plague, particularly the Black Death in the 14th century, led to a dramatic decrease in the population of Europe, killing an estimated one-third of its inhabitants. This population decline resulted in labor shortages, which in turn increased wages for workers and contributed to the decline of the feudal system. Additionally, the massive death toll caused widespread social and economic upheaval, leading to changes in religious beliefs and practices as people sought explanations for the catastrophe.
