The Plague developed in the Volga River basin
and disseminated throughout Eastern and Central
Europe, finally reaching Constantinople. The
major trading link between Europe and Asia.The Black Death advanced from China and
Central Asia to Europe, where an army
controlled by Mongol ruler Janibeg struck the
Genoese trading port of Caffa (now known as
Feodosia) in Crimea. While the infected soldiers
died from the Black Death, Janibeg catapulted
their dead, infected bodies into the town to
spread the plague and infect the enemies.
From Caffa, Genoese boats transported the
epidemic westward to Mediterranean ports,
spreading the disease inland.The Plague spread to Italy.The Black Death spread to North Africa, mainland
Italy, Spain, England, and France. A boat from
Calais, France, brought the plague to Dorset,
England, in August. It spread to Bristol, England,
almost immediately and then quickly moved
throughout the southwestern parts of England.The outspread of the disease continues as it
arrived at Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, Germany,
and the Low Countries. London feels the
catastrophic effects of the Black Death extremely
strongly between February and May. The disease
carries on and moves to the North of England.The Black Death reached the farthest north of
England, Scotland, Scandinavia, and the Baltic
countries.The Black Death devastated Europe, taking the
lives of an estimated 25 million people by
1331, also wiping out half the population of
Paris, which had around 100,000 people. The
disease continued spreading as it arrived in
Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, Germany, and
the Low Countries. London suffered the
catastrophic effects of the Black Death between
February and May. The disease continued
moving northward in England.The British Government tried to make adaptations
after the Black Death, agreeing to maximum
wages due to the labor shortage and introducing
a poll tax. Economic and social pressure rose,
leading to the Peasants' Revolt.The population of England was approximately
half of what it had been 100 years earlier. The
Black Death caused the evacuation or
disappearance of around 1,000 villages in the
country.Perioden
