Black Death (Bubonic Plague) (jan 1, 1348 – jan 1, 1380)
Description:
The Bubonic hit Europe in the 14th century and devastated the population. The disease was spread through trade and Europe's overpopulation made it a perfect breeding ground. The Plague highly affected social structures. A lot of the lower class died leaving a lack of workers. In the long run, though, the Plague might have helped Europe. It fixed the overpopulation problem and gave new opportunities to those who survived.Added to timeline:
