To determine how much of Europe's population died from the plague in the 1300s, we can refer to historical records which provide us with these estimates.
Historical data indicates that the percentage of Europe's population that perished due to the plague during the 14th century falls within a certain range.
1. First, we have the historical records suggesting that a significant portion of the population was affected.
2. This information gives us a range, as estimates typically do due to variations in historical data sources and the widespread impact of the disease.
The estimated range provided by these records is between 30 percent and 50 percent.
Given this historical estimate:
- 20-30 percent is too low compared to the historical data.
- 60-70 percent and 50-60 percent are too high according to what records suggest.
Therefore, the correct estimate based on the historical records is:
