The Black Death


The black Death was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, During 1348 and 1350. It today is called the "Bubonic Plague" caused by bacteria. Which was thought to have spread from china. Most likely it was carried over the Mediterranean sea by flea infested rats to Europe. The Black death is estimated  by killing 30%-60% of Europe's population. during the end of those years it took approximately 150 years for Europe's population to recover. Although it kept returning a various times in history, during the 19th century it left Europe. Because the plague had killed so many of the poor population, the wealthy land owners were forced to pay their remaining workers what they asked, in terms of wages. After 750  no major epidemic diseases appeared in Europe until the Black Death of the 14th century.
