Abstract: A devastating illness known as the plague ravaged Europe from 1347 to 1352. The Black Death was a bacterial infectious disease with a high mortality rate. It claimed the lives of between 25 and 30 million individuals. The outbreak started in Central Asia and moved west over busy trade routes. The plague spread quickly by sea, and then later by land throughout all of Europe. The plague had a significant impact on Europe, leading to increases in per capita income and wages, the abolition of slavery in Western Europe, a reduction in the influence of religious organizations, and the creation of powerful nations.
