With the Europeans trading with the East, a rumor was being spread that an infectious disease was forming in Asia. In Jordan McMullin’s book, “The Black Death”, he discusses, “By September of 1345, the Yersinia pestis bacillus, probably carried by rats, reached the Crimea, on the northern coast of the Black Sea, where Italian merchants had a good number of trading colonies.” Everyone talks about how the spread of the Black Plague happened or how horrible the symptoms to the Black Plague were and but not a lot is discussed about the aftereffects of the Black Plague.

Around 1339 in northwestern Europe, the population was beginning to outgrow the food supply and a severe economic crisis began to take place. The winters were extremely cold and the summers were dry. Due to this extreme weather, very low crops yielded and those that grew were dying. Inflation became a common occurrence and as famine broke out, people began to worry. The time period of approximately 1339 to 1346 is now known as the famine before the plague (history). These seven bad years of weather and famine lead to the greatest plague of all times. In 1347, endemic to Asia, The Black Death began spreading throughout Western Europe. Over the time of three years, the plague killed one third of the population in Europe with roughly twenty five million people dead (bbc.co).

The Black Death was one of the deadliest and most impactful events that the world has ever witnessed. It is believed that the plague originated in Asia and it began to spread to other parts of the world around 1345 to 1346 when the plague struck water for the first time. Supposedly, this happened when Yanibeg, a khan of the Golden Horde, which was a part of the Mongol Empire, began catapulting the bodies of plague victims over its walls into the Black Sea. Once the plague hit the Black Sea, there was no hope of stopping it from its inevitable onslaught. The Genoese and Mediterranean coastline now laid open to an attack from the disease.

In the middle ages many people looked towards religion as an answer to their diseases and problems, so when the Black Death came everybody assumed it was punishment from god as a result of humanity’s sins and mistakes. When praying and multiple other religious procedures did not work as a cure for the Black Death, many people started to lose faith in…
