Black Death
Black Death
The Black Death was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Europe from 1347 to 1351. The black death came to Europe but the origins of the Black Death can be traced back to the Gobi Desert of Mongolia in the 1320s. This epidemic reached its zenith in the the years 1348 to 1350 though the disease never vanished entirely. It is widely believe that the cause of the of the black death was Bubonic plague. It was most likely carried by Oriental rat fleas living on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships, spreading throughout the Mediterranean and Europe.
