Who belonged to the poorest class during the Middle Ages?

1 answer:

6 0

The poorest class during the Middle Ages were the peasants. Within these classes there were multiple other people within them, containing different rights and freedoms.

Freemen were peasants, except they had some rights. They were free and were not enslaved and in some cases could even own land. Many Freemen lived a pretty good life, despite being in the poorest class.

Serfs, or villeins, had no rights. Serfs did labor work in exchange for a bit of land that belonged to the tenant. They did not get any money out of this, they would just work for protection and housing.

The last people that belonged to the peasant class were the slaves. Slaves were bought and sold and used for labor, they had terrible living conditions and had no rights whatsoever.

How could the Great Depression be a cause of WWII?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

People be broke homie

Explanation:

The great depression didn't just affect America, it sent the world into a frenzy. Not to mention the Germans were unjustly treated. Their homes were taken and partitioned to different, new countries. They were broke already as all their money was taken, their military was shut down, and don't get me started and the food shortages. Inflation was high enough in Germany and the great depression just made the Germans even more desperate for something they could grasp on to, a small glimpse of a bright future. Hitler was their answer but soon after they got out of that mess not all Germans agreed with hitler's Third Reich.

So the take away is not all Germans in WW2 were Nazis and being broke does crazy things to people.
