The Plague That Pushed Humanity Forward

Imagine a world where the Black Death never swept through Europe, altering the course

of history forever. Lives lost equaled power gained for the survivors, giving workers leverage

to reshape the feudal world and ignite the flame of the Renaissance. Without this brutal

reset, Europe would have stayed cramped, and feudal lords might have tightened

their grip. The leap in art, science, and exploration could have been

delayed, altering the discovery of the Americas and slowing progress. In a twisted way,

the plague pushed humanity forward. Curious about another catastrophe that accidentally fueled

progress?
