Black Death Effect

How did the Black Death change the lives of the people who survived, not only from the amount of fatalities, but also by the disruption of religion and the economy? I believe the effect on Europe during this time were beyond devastating due to the loss of about twenty-five million people. The Black death started in Europe in October 1347. It arrived there by sea when twelve Genoese trading ships came and docked in the Sicilian port of Messina. When people went to greet the sailors on the ships, they

One of the most significant events in Western history was what is now known as “The Black Death”; a plague that spread across Europe in the twelfth century, disseminating the population and leading to vast social and political consequences. There were many conditions in Europe at the time that made the populus susceptible to the plague. A large one was the environment. Europe was going through an era of decreasing temperature, which hurt their agrarian system of food production. The lack of food

The Effects of Black Death Black death was a bubonic plague, which took the lives of millions of people in the mid 1300s. This plague was caused by a bacterium called Yersinia pestis, which lived in fleas. Therefore, transmitting the bacteria to its rodent hosts every time they would feed. The bacteria then killed the rodents leaving the fleas without hosts to feed on and in result they would feed on the humans. (Bailey 7-12) Most people who were infected would last two to three days before they

How did people react to the plague? First, the plague or the “ Black Death,” was introduced to Europe by water when the Genoese ships brought fleas and rats which then spread it by biting humans. The plague broke out in Western Europe killing about twenty-five million people. During this time in the middle of the fourteenth century, people miscalculated the effects of this disease and started to treat affected people like how they would handle any other illness which was by using materials found

by trade ships. This disease was called the Black Death. “The Black Death earned its well-known nickname through its very visual symptoms. Once infected, a patient would notice the following symptoms: Painful swellings (known as buboes) in the lymph nodes (found in the neck, armpits, groin and legs).The bubo would become inflamed and would at first be a deep red in color, but as time passed the bubo would change from red to purple and finally to black. Patients would also suffer with a particularly

The bubonic plague or “Black Death” is caused by the bacteria Yrsinia pestis (Y.pestis.) The disease is carried by fleas on the back of mice; once the infected mice dies the flea moves onto a human host, bites the host and infects them with the bacteria. The Black Death left a majority of the known population of the world during 1348-1349 dead with a thirty to fifty percent mortality rate. The plague not only brought death all around the population of this time but also creased a mindset in which

prayer, accupuncture, diet, etc. have all stayed around, but have changed slightly. The plaque also known as the Black death swept over Europe and Asia in the 14 century to the 15th. This disease is spread by rats and killed many people. Over one third of the population died of Europe. This painful and terrible disease managed to tear families apart as well as communities. Black death was caused by rats and rat fleas. A rat flea lives off of blood from small mammals and sometimes but humans. If a

The Black Death was one of the most devastating outbreaks in human history. The disease spread fast and covered the territory from China to England and the ultimate western part of Europe. Covering almost entire Europe within several years. The disease was a true mystery for Medieval people since the medicine was under developed to cope with such a disease as the Black Death, which was presumably a plague. The development and spread of the disease was fast and provoked the depopulation of Europe

The Black Death of 1348 ravaged the main lands of Asia through North Africa and ultimately made land fall in London in the autumn of 1348. “The Black Death” is well studied and a highly scrutinized controversial topic researched by respected pundits on what really assisted with the spreading of the plague in London. The Black Death is broadly believed that it originated from an epidemic of the bubonic plague generated by the bacteria carried by the fleas that were host on the black rats. These rodents
