Man, 600 years ago, around 1412, Europe was a HELL HOLE!



600 years ago, life expectancy in Europe was no more than 39 years!

600 years ago, the literacy rate in Europe was less than 10%, less than 10% of the population could read and write, more than 90% were illiterate!

600 years ago, infant mortality rates in Europe were absurdly high! Almost half of the children died before the age of 5.

600 years ago, nobody in Europe had sewer systems at home! People threw their feces in the streets!

600 years ago, the depostic aristocrats commited all sort of crimes against the serfs, like raping the daughters of the serfs, and nobody could do anything...

600 years ago, there was no freedom of religion in Europe, and people were jailed for being "heretic".

600 years ago, the Church in Europe used to burn women alive, accusing them of being "witches"!!




Europe was REALLY a HELL HOLE in 1412!

OP, can you tell us all the same stats for your country from that time period? What was the literacy rate? What form of overarching government structure did you have in place?

Also, please list YOUR most famous composers, physicists, explorers, painters, etc from that time.

We'd love to hear all that Brazil was accomplishing in 1400. That is, if you can find whatever pictograph your ancestors scrawled out your history on.
