(MIP-1) The black plague swept through the medieval times causing utter chaos and fear. (SIP-A) The thing everyone had on their minds when the plague hit was death, but what truly was the plague that took everyone by storm ? The plague was a disease that was extremely contagious that spread from person to person as quick as wildfire. (STEWE-1) In Europe of 1347 millions of people were in shock by the visit of the black plague (Konstam 118). The black plague all started when it first rose in the early 1300’s in Central Asia. It arrived in Europe when trading ships from Central Asia with people infected with the plague came aboard (“The Black Death").The black plague also called the the black death was spread by a disease causing bacterium named Yersina Pestis

In the early 1300s, life in Europe was completely normal. The plague had yet to even be a thought in their minds. Many people had heard a rumor

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.

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 word “plague” is defined as a contagious bacterial disease characterized by fever and delirium, typically with the formation of buboes, and sometimes infection of the lungs. The article entitled, “On the Progress of the Black Death”, written by Jean de Venette, a French Carmelite friar who was a leading clergyman around Paris at the time of the Black Death, is a well-known account of the spread of the plague in Northern Europe. In this account, Jean de Venette explained the history of the plague, its causes and its consequences.

Knowing they had little time before they would all die they catapulted the bodies over the city walls, infecting those within the city. This shows early biological warfare, by the time the merchants figured out that the plague was spreading throughout the city it was too late, trying to flee they boarded their ships heading for Sicily. When they got there, they docked in Messina, bringing the plague to Europe(Video). There were many horrific symptoms of the Bubonic Plague, the most common and notable were swollen lymph nodes in the groin, armpit, or neck, fever, chills, fatigue, and coughing up blood. People would be alive one day and dead the next. There were many theories on why this happened, some thought it was a punishment from God (Doc BE) or a supernatural force (Doc BB). Today the plague does not affect us as much as it had in the 1340-50s, this is due to modern medicine. Because the plague hasn’t changed much genetically, we have been able to develop antibiotics to treat it (Doc E), making our selves safer than those back then. October 3, 1348- Paris (Doc A, AA). The rumors were true, the plague is

In document 2 it states the symptoms of the plague. There were many deadly symptoms. Plague symptoms reacted quickly and left families abandoned. The symptoms of the plague were dark vivid,

During the plague a lot of people died. In Source B, it states, the plague spread fast because of trade.  The plague went all over the place because when people were trading some people had the plague and then gave it to the people they were trading with. Once someone got it, they would get very sick.  The first thing that would happen is they will get a very bad fever. Next, they would start coughing very badly. Then, they would start bleeding in the inside of their body's. After that, the blood will start going on the outside of their body's. Sooner or later they would die.  In agreement

The Plague that struck Europe and Asia in the 14th century was probably the most devastating disease or natural disaster the world ever faced. The Bubonic Plague or Black Death killed an estimated 25 million people from 1347 to 1352 in Europe which accounted for one third of Europe’s population.??-1 It is believed to have started in Asia and then spread to Europe. The Bubonic Plague was not just limited to this period in time. It would reappear through the centuries including the Great Plague of London around 1656 in which 20% of London residents died from it.??-2 Although some of the latter breakouts of the plague were also catastrophic, this paper will primarily focus on the plague from the 1300s. More specifically, this paper will

The plague caused people to shun their family members, friends, and pretty much anyone who was associated with the disease and “abhor all contact with the sick and all that belonged to them, thinking thereby

With lacking medical knowledge, people never really grasped the concept or the cause of this epidemic; therefore, they did not know what to do to help cure or stop the spread of it. “In spite of only sketchy medical knowledge, the epidemiology of the plague was fully understood by the 18th century. It took many years of research, after the fact, to finally comprehend all the ins

Now, what was the plague? It wasn’t just one disease, it was a combination of three bacterial strains: bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic. If you got it, the least dangerous was the bubonic. You would get a high fever, chills, buboes, rapid heartbeat and vomiting, within 3 to 6 days of having this, up to 50-80% of the victims died. Pneumonic, which was less common, infected the respiratory system and killed almost all its victims taking only hours to do so. Last, was septicemic, this type infected the bloodstream, which ended up killing all who got it. But, either way, whichever form you got you would still end up dying. And although this happened in the 14th century, this was not the first time the plague had gone around. It went to Europe in the 18th century and into Africa and Asia the 20th century.

The purpose of this article is to inform the reader about the case. It informs the reader about the specific case as well as providing information about previous cases of the plague in the area and in the U.S.

What made this plague spread so fast was the fact that it was air born, this happened by people coughing up blood. Another way it had

Once upon a time a few centuries ago I was a little girl who was energetic and adventurous, but one day all of that changed. I was in the yard playing tag with my sister and two brothers but then we heard “the bell.” The bell meant the sickness, black plague, was in town. When the people began to hear the bell they ran all over the place causing a panic and knocking on doors making sure everyone knew what was happening.
