Document Summary

This was the period where europe began to arise as the centre of civilization. Europe underwent an intellectual, political, cultural, and economic change. It went on a path of world dominance. Europeans began to think of the world as a possession, something to be owned. At the end of the 13th to the 14th century, the city of florence made great expansions in size. Florence grew from a minor city to a population of 100,000 which would then be decimated by the bubonic plague. The black death: 1348, beginning in italy, in scotland by 1349. It killed between 1/2 and 2/3 of europe"s populace. Cities were affected by plague worse than in the countryside. Cities were generally unhealthy places to live in. Cities grew, but they did not replenish their own population, but rather, people coming to them from rural areas.
