Analyzing the Black Death that Hit Europe in the Middle Ages

Thousands of plague diseases occur every year in the United States, but now we have technology to manage and treat it. But can you imagine medieval situations? When Pest ruled the land, no one knew how to avoid that anger. Black death is the second most devastating pandemic that erupted in the Middle Ages. The competitor, Justinian's plague, should be the first and most devastating plague in the Middle Ages; however, Black Death is still devastating, well-known, and even just started.

In the late Middle Ages (1340-1400), in Europe there was the most fatal illness in history. Black death was a notorious pest epidemic attacked in 1347. Black death is one of the most destructive pandemics in human history. An estimated 7 to 2 million people peaked in Europe between 1348 and 1350. As Mongolia dominates the Eurasian trade route, it is safer to adopt safer trade routes. Not only products are traded, diseases are spreading among cultures. Mongolian forces and businessmen in Central Asia took a black death on the east and the west along the Silk Road using the opportunities for free passage provided by the Mongol empire in the Mongol empire. In Europe, Mongolia attacked Italian merchants with Cappa, the last trading point of the Crimea. In the autumn of 1346, epidemics broke out during the siege battle and then invaded the town.

Black death disease, also known as plague, is a terrible disease mainly distributed in the central part of Europe. It functions as a delimiter between the Middle Ages and the Middle Ages. In these two eras, there were many changes such as the importance of the city by the plague and the economic crisis against the plague by some countries. Because of black death, late medieval times were often considered times of disasters and troubles. (HWC, black death, n.pag)

When the medieval economy reached the climax, one of the greatest famine and the worst disaster, black death attacked the medieval society. The great famine of 1315 brought serious damage to the agricultural system, resulting in the decline of the whole village and the town. As millions of farmers were killed, black death caused another blow to the agricultural system. And it affected local productivity. However, this decline has brought the emergence of new economic systems in almost all areas of society, such as agriculture, trade, taxation.
