The Late Middle Ages in Europe saw devastating crises in the 14th and 15th centuries from war, famine, and plague. War reduced the peasant population available to work lands and destroyed harvests. Harsher winters and less workers led to famine. The Black Death plague pandemic decimated the European population, killing approximately one-third. The population dropped from 80 million to 45 million. This led to economic recession with less demand, social conflicts, and peasant rebellions against increased taxes. Recovery eventually came as kings gained more control, population grew, demand increased, and new trade routes and discoveries opened up.
