The Black Death (1 Jan 1346 Jahr – 1 Jan 1353 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

The Black Death, one of history’s most virulent outbreaks of plague, begins in China in 1334 before spreading along trade routes to Constantinople and then Europe, reaching the shores of Italy in 1347. Over the next three years, between 25 and 50 percent of Europe’s population had fallen victim to the pestilence. The bubonic plague spread through infected fleas that attached themselves to rats. It spread quickly, killing most of its victims within a week. Half the continent's population may have perished, leading to drastic social and economic changes.
