The black death
21
Where it comes from
  • The plague originally came from central and
    eastern Asia.
  • It spread through Europe and made it to the ports
    where traders unknowingly brought home rats that
    had the plague.
  • From there it swept through Europe pretty
    quickly.
  • It spread through to people by the fleas the fed
    on the rats.

22
How the plague spread throughout Europe.
  • Because the traders carried rats that carried the
    disease it was possible for rats to feed on the
    rats and then carry the disease to people who had
    never encountered the disease before.
  • Therefore they had no cure save their selves for
    which a lot of people already had a weak immune
    system.

23
What was the diseases name
  • The disease was called the bubonic plague it was
    so powerful and never heard of before that there
    was no cure for that save time.
  • Rats gave the plague to most people but only the
    strong survived the plague and lived to tell
    about it.
  • The plague wiped out the weak and allowed the
    strong to prosper.

24
What did the black death cause in the feudalism
lifestyle
  • The manor system already weakened by the growth
    of cities and towns was destroyed by the black
    death.
  • According to many a third of the population was
    killed off during the plague.
  • The ones that died were considered the weak and
    opened possibilities to the strong.
  • The plague did not visit the same person twice.

25
What happened to the black death
  • The plague probably moved on to other places
    until it found a place where it could lay
    dormant.
  • The black death was a combination of many plagues
    in one area.
  • The strong people survived it and didnt bother
    to move because they knew that the plague didnt
    visit the same person twice.
