Question

What additional factor made Europeans susceptible to disease?

1)Their living conditions - lack of clean water and understanding of the importance of sanitation.

2)The Crusades had weakened their spirits, so they could get sick easier.

3)It was actually a conspiracy to decrease the population.

4)Rats were a lot worse back then.

Answer 1

I'm assuming it 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing this question is about medieval Europe so it's most likely one. because first of all it's correct in medievil Europe living conditions weren't as good as ours today and life expectancy for lower. in addition to this their Healthcare system was terrible most doctors stuck leeches to heal people. also we know it's most likely not 2 because the crusades did fail many times but it wasn't enough to shorten life expectancy. and weknow it's probably not 3 and 4 so that's is why 1 is the answer
