Copy the following data on the last flap of your graphic organizer then, On page 21 in your notebook write a hypothesis explaining the changes between the following 3 sets of data: 1348 and 1377, 1430 and 1603, & 1700 and 1800

• Britain’s population in 1348 = 3,757,500• Britain’s population in 1377 = 2, 223,373• Britain’s population in 1400 = 2, 100,000• Britain’s population in 1430 = 2, 100,000• Britain’s population in 1603 = 3,780,000• Britain’s population in 1700 = 5,700,000• Britain’s population in 1800 = 9 million

Forces for Change• 2 major developments forced traditional society to

change– Population growth: • Britain’s population in 1348 = 3,757,500• Britain’s population in 1377 = 2, 223,373• Britain’s population in 1400 = 2, 100,000• Britain’s population in 1430 = 2, 100,000• Britain’s population in 1603 = 3,780,000• Britain’s population in 1700 = 5,700,000• Britain’s population in 1800 = 9 million

Expand your Hypothesis

• What caused it, what was the effect? (short term and long term)

• How could this trend be reversed? Or is it irreversible?• During the mid-late 1300’s, the Plague (Black Death) visited

England• What impact would this have on food production and

consumption?

– But at each of these periods the population ceased to grow because agriculture could not respond to the pressure of feeding extra people.

– More people = English farmers needed to produce more food– population grew to unprecedented levels after 1750, reaching 16.6

million in 1850,– agricultural output expanded with it.

• Had to develop improved techniques

What will happen next?

Enclosure Movement• In England, beginning in 15th-16th centuries,

landlords began reorganizing common lands– Changed the whole structure of farming village– Wealthy landlords fenced in common fields, claimed

them as private property• Wool had become profitable industry, landlords

converted common fields into sheep-raising fields– Increased wealth of landlords but further impoverished

peasant communities– 1516 Thomas More wrote Utopia as a response to the

landlords’ greed
