When did the Black Death Start and End??

Question

Answer 1

Bubonic plague (which is also known as the Black Death, although it was called The Great Mortality by those Europeans who lived through it) hit Europe and Asia like a sledgehammer. In 1331, a great epidemic of what could have been plague hit northeast China that killed nine-tenths of the population. A mysterious illness ravaged Mongolia that killed the Great Khan and his sons in 1332. It seems to have arrived at the Genoese Black Sea port city of Caffa (now Feodosiya) in April or May of 1347.

The plague appears to have been transported along with refugees and trading goods on Genoese ships to Europe, starting in Sicily in 1347. From there it spread by ship and overland until it reached as far as Greenland and Russia. The great plague finally ended around 1352. (Other occurances continued into the 1700s, but these were generally more local and of shorter duration.)

Answer 3

The Black Death arrived in Europe by sea in October 1347 when 12 Genoese trading ships docked at the Sicilian port of Messina after a long journey through the Black Sea. The people who gathered on the docks to greet the ships were met with a horrifying surprise: Most of the sailors aboard the ships were dead, and those who were still alive were gravely ill. They were overcome with fever, unable to keep food down and delirious from pain. Strangest of all, they were covered in mysterious black boils that oozed blood and pus and gave their illness its name: the “Black Death.” The Sicilian authorities hastily ordered the fleet of “death ships” out of the harbor, but it was too late: Over the next five years, the mysterious Black Death would kill more than 20 million people in Europe–almost one-third of the continent’s population.

Rumors of a plague supposedly arising in China and spreading through India, Persia, Syria and Egypt had reached Europe in 1346. But no one paid any attention. Of course, there have been plagues throughout European history. Homer relates one such plague in the Iliad. Athens was struck in the 5th century, Arabia in the sixth and seventh centuries, and more recently, a plague in India raged from 1892 to 1910. By January 1348, the plague had penetrated France by way of Marseilles and North Africa by way of Tunis. Both Marseilles and Tunis are port towns. The plague then spread west to Spain and and North to central France by March. By May, the plague entered Rome and Florence. In June, the plague had moved to Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon and London. Switzerland and Hungary fell victim in July. JEAN DE VENETTE, a French friar, has left us a chronicle about the progress of the plague as it moved through Europe.

Answer 5

The black death was believed to have started in east asia, probably china, and then spread westward along the trade routes to India. The black death started for all intents in purposes in Europe in 1346. In that year the Mongols laid siege to the city of Kaffa on the Black Sea, which was an important trade colony in the possession of the Venetians. A plague was devestating the Mongol army, and in desperation before they had to break the siege, they catapulted the corpses of their dead over the walls into Kaffa, infecting the city's population with the Black Death. From kaffa, venetian merchant ships, with infected individuals who werent sick when they left port, arrived back in Italy with the deadly cargo, and the disease rapidly spread from about 1346-1350 before it finally burned itself out.

Answer 6

There were a bunch of things that happened during that period. The fire of London helped in that area, but mostly the newer ideas of sanitation that naturalists (read, scientists) were introducing. The pest problem (usually rats) that carried infected fleas came under better control. Side trivia: there was one incidence several years ago in Colorado of a female that acquired bubonic plague because her dog was chasing those cute little prairie dogs during walks.

Answer 7

NEVER did it even happen.
