The devastation caused by the plague led to a sense of desperation and a desire for stability among ruling elites in Ming China, the Ottoman Empire, and Europe. As a result, many of these elites turned to core cultural and religious traditions for guidance as they sought to rebuild their societies. This was seen in Ming China's emphasis on Confucianism, the Ottoman Empire's renewed focus on Sunni Islam, and Europe's return to medieval values and Christian traditions. All three societies sought to establish a sense of order and continuity in the aftermath of the plague, which had disrupted their social and political systems.
