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?
