Well, what most people don't realize is that it never really did. If you are talking about the worst outbreak in 1347 or something, which killed 1/3 to 1/2 of the European population, it just went away for no known reason after that year or so. Maybe everyone left alive had a natural immunity, or all the rats died, or the fleas. Anyway, outbreaks reoccurred about every 10 years, although none at the level seen in the first one. There was a major one in England, especially London, in 1665, right before the great fire.

Not a definite fact, but I think it was basically the disease had wiped out everyone that was particularly vulnerable to it, and with 1/3 of the population dead and the rest isolating themselves as much as possible, it simply couldn't spread any more.

ended.

Basically - the people who didn't have the natural ability to fight it off died.

i think a big fire happened and killed all the rats and fleas ( also the cure was water and soap!)
