In Europe 500 AD - 1500 AD there were horrific Crusades and wars, the terrifying silent killer, and awful laws that all led to Europe's the dark age.War broke out in Jerusalem, and no one was safe. As Jerusalem was struggling to keep power from the Muslimś, Pope Urban ii had ask the Christianś to come from Western Europe and fight for them.The Christians agreed to the Popeś asking and started to flee to Jerusalem and with good intentions.If they died they had been promised to go to heaven, so no one held back.¨The unbelievers blood should fill the streets people and families.”Source: Raymond d'Aguilers, “The Siege and Capture of Jerusalem,” exact date unknown”.This quote explains how the Christians were unstoppable and did not hold back.While trading and communication evolved the Bubonic Plague, the silent killer, was also evolving. …show more content…
While the people were dropping like flies, the plague went airborne. The Black Death, a nickname it earned after many people died, killed many and nearly wiped out the human race in general. "The plague began in the land of darkness. China was not preserved from it. The plague infected the Indians in India, the Sind, the Persians, and the Crimea." (Ibn al-Wardi, “An Essay on the Report of the Pestilence,” 1348) This quote shows how no one was safe. Since the plague was airborne no one would ever be safe until the plague was cured. Another reason why Europe was in a dark age was when the Magna Carta was made. One may say that the Magna Carta improved society but most say that it did not. The Magna Carta was made by the nobles because the king was taking their well-earned belongings without permission. The Magna Carta stated multiple times that if anyone was caught doing a simple offense they were to be beaten brutally. “C.19. Concerning false money, we have ordered that he who has been proved to have made it shall have his hand cut
Test 3 Questions It was inevitable for Europe to not change after the Bubonic Plague, the disease killed many people which meant the people who were alive had to find a way to deal with the horrid aftermath of the Bubonic Plague. I think that some of the most important ramification of the Bubonic Plague is the blames some certain group of people got after the Plague and the different wars that took place. When the Bubonic Plague ended, many people took upon themselves to point figures at certain people like the Jews and the rich to tried to pinpoint the cause of the disease that had destroyed and damaged how society was functioning in Europe before the Plague. (Pages 310-311). One group in particular who was blamed the most were the Jews; they were blamed for causing the Plague because it was easier to blamed them since they were more of an outcast in the European in society in this period.
Bubonic Plague This unfortunate and tragic event also known as, the Bubonic Plague, reached Italy when the flowers began blooming in that of 1348 (HC). Document 6 says “the Bubonic Plague affected at least 80,000 lives.” All of which resulted in death. (Thesis Statement)
Europe had become overpopulated by the early 14th century. There were three times as many inhabitants in England in 1300 than there were in 1066. In 1314, the weather began to change and become more and more brutal. People were not equipped with the resources that were necessary to survive such harsh conditions. These weather conditions led to lack of crops.
In the late Middle Ages the worst evil known to man terrorized Europe. People were dropping dead everywhere and there was no place to put them. This vicious culprit was known as the Black Plague. During the 14th century in Europe millions of people died from the plague and the plague brought about great change. Before the plague there was peace and prosperity in the High Middle Ages and after the plague things were different. Historians consider the outbreak of the Black Plague a watershed moment because of great social, religious and economical changes.
Why was the Bubonic Plague (Black Death) so Devastating to European Society? The Bubonic Plague, otherwise known as the Black Death, was a huge epidemic in the mid-1300s. It killed off about 20 million Europeans within 1348 and 1351and was thought to originate from China and move westwards through means of infected fleas and rats through shipping and trade (Document 1).
During the 14th century, there was a terrible disease/illness that effected Europe in a very bad way. In the 1300, there was a plague going around called bubonic. This plague was cause by fleas on rodents, but they were usually rats. The disease/illness could easily be passed on, that is the reason for why it affected Europe and it's economy in such a terrible way.
Many people thought poisoned wells caused by the Jews led to the rapid and intensive spread of the Black Plague. Before the outbreak, Jews were very wealthy. Many Jews became successful pawnbrokers, bankers, and money loaners. Documents say that Jews continued to succeed and even “profited more than most.” However, at the same time (after the High Middle Ages), many Christians tended to lose money. Consequently, this often led to a negative connotation for the Jews. Many Christians thought of Jews as phonies and scammers, because they were angry about the Jews’ success during the 14th century. Shortly after, the negative connotation about Jews spread all over Europe. This posed a greater problem when the Plague evolved. With the number of
The Bubonic Plague was a spreading disease. It infected and killed most of the population of Europe within a few years. The plague began spreading in 1348 when fleas caused this infection when they bit animals such as rats. The bacteria entered the skin through the flea bite which soon infected the lymph nodes. These rats stowed away on trade ships which quickly passed this deadly disease to humans. The Bubonic plague was very disastrous to the European society until it finally began to slow down in 1351. It killed so many people due to its rapid spreading. It lowered the religious belief and trust in God by many people in the community. Also, the local physicians lacked the knowledge of the plagues symptoms and its cure.
In the 14th century the Black Death engulfed Europe killing an estimated 50 million people. The pandemic is considered extraordinary because it did so in a matter of months. This disease was carried by fleas, the Bubonic Plague is caused by a bacteria called Yersinia pestis, found mainly in rodents, in this case in rats, and the fleas that feed on them.
75 to 200 million people died from the Bubonic Plague it was estimated about 2\3 of the European population died. Bubonic Plague hurts the Immune system by attacking an invading it. The only way to stop the Bubonic plague is by antibiotics and prescription drugs that destroy the virus. If not treated it will enter the bloodstream and attacks the lungs. Which could give the body Pneumonic plague which is deadly and the Pneumonic plague will give people hepatitis which will give the body fatigue and muscle weakness. The cells in the body system fights off bad pathogens. It keeps the body from getting infected with viruses and diseases like the flu. The Bubonic plague entered the Immune System by changing it form to disguise itself so it will let it in when it is in the Immune System. It attacks by shutting it down and kills cells inside. So the body cannot fight it off. Then it enters the bloodstream and without the immune system it cannot be stopped because the immune system fights off the virus. And without it fighting off viruses the body is prone to any diseases and viruses like the t cell which keeps the flu virus away from the body. And the Bubonic plague kills the t cell which now it is prone to the flu. And it also attacks the b cell which makes antibodies which helps the body become healthier and safer.
The plague of the black death was a panic and disaster in Western Europe because it leads the death of ⅓ of the population. It quickly spread all over the continent, destroying full towns and cities. Moreover, the plague reached its peak of destructions in 1349, which was a “wretched, terrible, destructive year, the remnants of the people alone remain.” Life before the black death arrived for the serfs it was unpleasant and short. Nevertheless, Europe before the black death arrived was successful and the trade at the time was strong. The spread of the plagues was traumatic and unexpected because it spread so quickly.
When Bubonic Plague visited England in 1348, it was called the Great Mortality. We know it as the Black Death that lasted until 1352 and killed vast populations in Asia , North Africa , Europe , Iceland , and Greenland . In total, it extinguished as much as fifty percent of the world's population.
Made of a canvas outer garment coated in wax, as well as waxed leather pants, gloves, boots and hat. A dark leather hood and mask with a very grotesque curved beak (Jackie Rosenhek, 2011). A serial killer, Halloween costume perhaps or a cosplay outfit for a horror movie? No, a doctor actually is what this outfit was meant for. Doctors wore this attire in the medieval times in order to protect themselves from the bubonic plague. We 've all heard of the bubonic plague in our history classes. We know the numbers and effects and how deadly it was. However the bubonic plague is still on the hunt and loose. Yes, numbers in outbreaks of the bubonic plague have doubled since 2014. There have been very few, but a pathogen such as the Black Death is not to be taken lightly.
The most common vector for the virus to enter the body is through sexual transmission, either by anal, oral, or vaginal sex. The highest risk activity is anal sex, as the mucous membrane inflammation facilitates HIV transmission (McCutchan, 2013). However, other modes such as sharing needles when injecting drugs, tiny cuts or sores on a person’s vagina, mouth, or penis, or simply the birth of a child by an infected mother, can all spread the disease to other
Bubonic plague is an infectious disease that is spread by the bacteria Yersinia pestis. These bacteria remain in a dormant state primarily in a rat flea’s foregut. Once the flea has bitten a victim it regurgitates the contents in its foregut into the bite location. Once the bacterium has entered into a mammal’s warm body it begins to reproduce and spread throughout the mammal’s body. The reproduction of this bacterium creates large painful swollen lymph nodes which are called buboes. Once these buboes get large enough they begin to ooze infected body fluid so that any contact between an infected person and a healthy person will facilitate the spread of this disease.
