The Bubonic Plague In Europe

The 1300s Bubonic Plague, also known as The Black Death was the greatest epidemic known to mankind. This Plague started in 1347 and proceeded up until 1351, executing an estimated amount of 25 million individuals. It was relatively difficult to keep one from catching this infectious disease. The virus traveled not only through inflicted flea bites, but it was airborne as well. Attacking the rich, the poor, newborns and elders, everybody was an easy target. I firmly believe that the 1300s Bubonic Plague changed the way of world history.

The Black Plague came to life in the 1300s, and carried on through the Elizabethan Era. It was first seen on trading boats crossing the Black Sea. “The Plague was a bacterial disease that started from small fleas

End of a Paradigm, Samuel K. Cohn Jr. argues that the Black Death of 14th century Europe was not the same illness as the bubonic plague. To help illustrate his argument, Cohn compared the Black Death of 14th century Europe to the agent of the bubonic plague, Yersinia pestis, which was discovered in Hong Kong

The book When Plague Strikes, is about 3 deadly diseases. It 's about the Black Death, Smallpox, and AIDS. Each of these diseases can cause a serious outrage of death. The book also tells about how doctors try to come up with treatments, medicines, and antibiotics to try and cure these diseases. All these diseases got the best out of everyone. Some people reacted differently than others with these diseases. All the diseases came in play in A. D. 1347, when the Black Death broke out for the first time in what’s today is know. As southern Ukraine.

The Black Death, also known as the bubonic plague, was a disease that devastated Medieval Europe, between 1346 and 1352 it killed 45 million people, wiping out a third of Europe's population. Today, we know that there were many causes of the Black Death. Medieval towns had no system of drains, sewers or trash collections. In such slovenly conditions, germs could grow, and diseased rats could call these medieval towns their homes and infect the people who lived there. Many historians believed the plague originated in china and spread to other countries by trade routes. Infected people and/or infected rodents such as mice or black rats. The Black Death was caused by strains of the bubonic plague. The plague lived in fleas, and fleas lived on

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 plague was a catastrophic time in history, and happened more than once. It took millions and millions of people’s lives. It destroyed cities and countries, and many people suffered from it.

In the 1300s a disease spread through Europe devastating villages, towns, and cities ultimately wiping out nearly 50% of all population in Europe. This disease became known as the black death. In addition to wiping out vast populations, this plague also brought about many changes to the European society.

The bubonic plague is believed to have begun in south China in the 1320’s. The virus that causes bubonic plague is carried in the saliva of fleas that use rats as hosts. When there was a lack of rats to host the fleas they attacked the human population. The plague moved to northern China with travelers and warriors. Once it made its way to the silk roads it quickly swept across the Mediterranean and as far north as Scandinavia. Prior to the expansion of the silk roads, China had been isolated from the rest of the world. If it had not been for the growing trade market and the heavily traveled silk roads, the plague wouldn't have been able to spread outside of China so quickly or maybe even at all. The hardest hit areas were urban areas along

Do you know what The Black Plague was, it was a horrible disease that people back in the middle ages didn’t know where it came from how to fight off against it and how it spread. People back then didn’t know where it came from but scientists now think they know. Scientists think that Black Rats and fleas caused the black plague that the fleas carried it and gave it to the rats then the rats passed it along then the rats died and the fleas moved to a new host they moved to humans and spread it even further.(A&E, The Black Death)The rats that infected the humans lived in a city called Kaffa and then went on ships with people and moved to other places like Italy, Constantinople and England. When the rats died the fleas went to humans and the rat’s dead bodies would give an animal and or human the virus without the flea having to bite anyone. (Stephen Person pg.4)The fleas probably feed on the rats blood and gave the rat the infection the rat then died and the fleas moved on to a new rat when there were no more living rats they probably went on to humans

The Bubonic Plague, often acknowledged as the worst epidemic in the history of Europe, also known as the Black Death, the Black Plague, and the Pestilence, the worst time was 1348-1350. By the end of 1350, according to Zarlengo, almost three fourths of the population had been decimated. Today the Pestilence has an antibiotic cure and since rats and fleas are kept at a low and are not shipped from one place to another, we have less of a chance of getting it again. However, at that point there was no cure and people died by the hundreds.

I watched the documentary “The Black Plague of Europe” -produced by the History Channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v =V9H9IDqJgE ). The documentary covered the whole range of black plague from begin to end of where it spread. This documentary told how the people felt and actual sources of their reactions to the black plague. I was able to learn a lot from the documentary versus the film. The film I watched was called “Black Death” (Black death [Motion picture]. (2011). One movie; 01 Distribution). It provided an unrealistic thrill of things that didn’t occur. Overall, this assignment shown the significance of documentaries in a world that is likely to change history for entertainment purposes.

The Bubonic Plague, aka The Black Death, is initiated by a bacillus germ known as Yersina pestis. This bacillus germ was revealed by a French biologist named, Alexandre Yersin at the conclusion of the 19th century. What did the Bubonic Plague impact people when it came to Europe? What happened when the plague left Europe?

In the fourteenth century, Europe was struck by the deadliest disease outbreak in history, the bubonic plague. During this time, there emerged a group of Christians called the Flagellants. They would publicly whip themselves and inflict brutal lashings upon their bodies. People knew nothing about viruses or how infections worked, so a common religious explanation was that sickness showed God’s wrath toward some sort of misbehavior. The Flagellants believed that if they punished themselves severely enough, then they would win God’s approval, and his punishment would be withdrawn. This belief is rooted in an ancient and primitive spirituality, in which people believed that God or the gods would be angry if they were not satisfied, and must be
