THE 100 YEARS WAR
Declines of Feudalism
Growth of Trade: The more people traded, the surfs were needed less to provide resources to the lords and vassals because supplies were coming in through trade.
Hundred Years War: When as the battle was going on, there were less people in the system for it to thrive, also Joan of Arc was against feudalism. Joan of Arc was a major roll in the Hundred Years War so it affected feudalism.
Bubonic Plague: The plague killed 1/3 of the population, so an abundance of people were dead or could no longer provide in the system due to death, scarce supplies, and fear of disease. A lot of the surfs died in the plague because they were at the bottom of the system, so lords and vassal had no supplies.
Kings and the Church Centralized Power: Since the Kings and Church centralized power, lords and vassals did not have as much control over the surfs and manors. This made the system become weaker and fall apart.

BARTER ECONOMY
Powerful Lords & Peace
Around the year 1000, powerful lords brought peace and stability and this helped marketing grow. My reasoning for this is that once war ended, all of the people were traveling back to their home country and traded along the way. Also, more people would want to trade once there was less violence. Both of these reasons helped the economy and marketing grow.
Problems with Barter Economy
Finding the Right People- Say you had grain as a product, but you needed fish. The people with fish want flowers, but not grain. In order to get your needed product, you have to trade with the right people and products until you have a chance of getting fish. Not a lot of people want your product but you need their's. Finding the right person is very difficult and chaotic.
Items cannot Easily be Divided- Dividing up products and distributing them can be much of a hassle. Some people may want 20 of your products, while others may just want 5, which could get tricky the larger your product is.
Determining Values- If you were selling a larger product and were trading for a smaller product, you would need to figure out a system to decide how much its worth. If you were trading logs for seeds, you would obviously need more seeds in return for your large product.
Limited Capital Gain- Capital gain is the difference between the buying and selling price. in barter economy, there is not much of a difference so you will not make much money.
