The Black Death

During the 14th century, Europe had become overpopulated and was feeling the effects of so many people. From 1315-1322, there was a famine that killed off about 10% of Europe’s population.

What Was the Black Death? The Black Death was the most devastating natural disaster in European history. The Black Death, or Bubonic Plague, was a bacterial infection that killed 38 million people throughout Europe, out of about 75 million people. In urban (city) areas, the death rate was 50-60% of the population.

Types of Plague The most common form of the plague was bubonic plague, which was carried by fleas which lived on black rats. Another type settled in the lungs and was spread by coughing. Another type of plague attacked the bloodstream and could be spread from one person to another. Historians believe the plague started in Asia and spread to Europe on trade routes.

Spread of the Plague The first European area hit was Italy. Ships that had been trading with Asia sailed into Italian ports with plague-infested rats. The ships were quarantined, but the rats got to shore.

Poor sanitation allowed for the quick spread of the disease. The plague spread more quickly in the crowded urban areas where people lived close together. Rural areas were not affected as badly.

People could be infected with the plague and not show the symptoms for weeks. When the plague broke out in a town, people would leave, not knowing they were infected, and start the plague in another town. The plague would spread faster in the warmer months and seem to go away in the colder months. The plague was worst from 1347-1351, but broke out at other times from many years afterwards.

Symptoms of the Plague The plague began with headache and fever, along with chills, nausea, vomiting, and stiffness. Within a day or two, the swellings appeared. They were hard, painful, burning lumps on the neck, under the arms, on the inner thighs. Soon they turned black, split open, and began to ooze pus and blood. They may have grown to the size of an orange.

Effects of the Black Death The population declined by 38 million people in Europe. This caused a labor shortage throughout Europe. This actually improve working conditions for peasants. They could demand wages (pay) for the first time.

Townspeople were freed from feudal obligations. Many towns lost large numbers of their population. Many people asked for freedom from their lords or had lost their lords to the plague. The power of the church declined because people lost their faith in a church that could not save them from the disease. The plague caused trade to break down. People feared travelers and “plague goods” that might have carried the disease.

Economic Effects In the end, the plague was actually good for the European economy. There was enough farmland to go around. People were able to afford and buy land. Workers could demand fair wages (pay) for their labor. Cities grew when peasants and serfs moved there. Merchants and artisans had new customers and were able to start new businesses.
