It's
during the middle ages, during the 1300's (1347)
People
started to get sick
but no one knew what caused it
Said
to have started in China
and to have spread to Europe
Due
to Fleas on Rats
that got on to Trade Ships
These
ships set sail from the Middle East
Spread
the disease to European
port cities
The
disease spread fast it was very quick,
it was contagious, so a sneeze or cough could make you sick
Medieval
people didn't know germs cause disease
that the plague was being
spread by the rats and the fleas
They
believed it was caused by a higher power
as a punishment from god
because of Religious Doubters
So
they turned to the church hoping they could be saved
the prayed and repented but nothing seemed to change
People
got sick and people died
People
lost faith, church power declined
Ring
around a Rosie, with your pocket full of posies
if you have the
following symptoms
Then
you might not want to get cozy
Do
you have buboes under you armpit
or a fever, making you vomit?
or a fever, making you vomit?
By
day 3 did you notice that your skin is covered in dark blotches
By
day 4 it attacks the Nervous System causing seizures and pain for the
victim
By
Day 5 if you're still alive and the buboes burst
then you might survive
then you might survive
But
most of the time the people die cause they had no cure, and that is
why at least 1/3 of Europeans lost their life
The
Feudal system collapsed when population decline
With
fewer workers, supply was low, demand was high
So
the rich paid the poor for the goods they wanted to buy
Now
the poor got paid, quality life increased
creating a middle class
in the social hierarchy
As
time went on the number of deaths decreased
and the legacy of the
black death live on in history
