1 jan 1347 ano - Black Death begins spreading in Europe via Silk Road.
Descrição:
The Black Death began in Central Asia and spread west via the Silk Road, reaching Italy by the mid-14th century through Mediterranean trade. Ships from Genoa and Venice brought infected rats and fleas with Yersinia pestis to England. The first case appeared in 1348 in Melcombe Regis, a key coastal town. From the coast, the plague spread inland via trade fairs, merchant routes, and migration. Pilgrims and priests also spread it across England, France, and Flanders.Adicionado na linha do tempo:
