The Black death, or Bubonic Plague, is a disease that was in the fourteenth century. It is still around today, but it is not as common. The symptoms are swelling, throwing up blood, and most people die. It was so bad in Europe that about fifty percent died. It affected everything. For example, it affected economics, politics, religion, everyday life, food, population, and trade.
People tried to stop the plague by clearing their sins, home remedies, rituals, fumes, and more. By trying to stop the sickness, quarantine, contagious was understood, and hospitals were created. This help life today. The plague was thought to be the cause of the Dark Ages and Renaissance too.
The black plague is an interesting topic. I think it was a good topic for this research project.
