6th century Catastrophe..??

Question

what was it.....how it affected the mankind........etc

Answer 1

There are several major events leading into the 6th century and a few are:

Britain is abandoned by the Roman Empire [410]
Visigoths Pillage Rome [410]
Huns Invade the Eastern Roman Empire [441]
The English Conquest of Britain [449 – 579]
Attila Invades Western Europe [cir 451]
Clovis Founds the Kingdom of the Franks [486 – 511]
Publication of the Justinian Code [529 – 534]
Augustian’s Missionary Work in England [597]

However the major disaster was:
According to historian David Keys, the last time global climate change transformed our planet was back in the sixth century AD, the heart of the Dark Ages. Today climate change is at least partially driven by human agency. But 1,500 years ago it was triggered by a massive volcanic eruption (535 AD) in Southeast Asia (Krakatoa being the likeliest culprit), setting in motion a chain of events which included plague, barbarian migrations and revolution.

Answer 2

The Plague of Justinian is the first known pandemic on record, and marks the first firmly recorded pattern of bubonic plague in A.D. 541–542. This outbreak is thought to have originated in Ethiopia or Egypt. The huge city of Constantinople imported massive amounts of grain, mostly from Egypt, to feed its citizens. The grain ships may have been the source of contagion for the city, with massive public granaries nurturing the rat and flea population. At its peak the plague was killing 5,000 people in Constantinople every day and ultimately destroyed perhaps 40 percent of the city's inhabitants. It went on to destroy up to a quarter of the human population of the eastern Mediterranean.

In A.D. 588 a second major plague wave spread through the Mediterranean into what is now France. A maximum of 25 million dead is considered a reasonable estimate.

Answer 3

I'm not quite sure which one you're talking about. Attila the Hun made HIS appearance in the early part of the century, which WAS a catastrophe for his victims. This was part of the era known as the Dark Ages, when troubles came, "not as single spies, but in battalions."
