The Black Death had many impacts on Europe back in the 1300s but not all of them were that bad or long-lasting. One of these shorter-lasting effects was that trade suffered for a short amount of time. War was also temporarily abandoned. The Black Death also largely impacted tenant farmers. Many laborers that landowners relied on as tenant farmers died during the mass spread of the plague.
