    This epidemic originated in China, where it killed about 35 million people. It spread rapidly through Europe in the mid-fourteenth century. New forms of commerce and trade, including Mongol control of the central Asian Silk Routes, facilitated its transmission. First occurring in the 1330s, the epidemic spread westward with traders and merchants, and arrived in Italian port cities as early as 1347. Crowded conditions, lack of sanitation, and lack of medical knowledge contributed to its rapid spread. Within 50 years, 1/3 of Europe’s population was dead, traditional feudal hierarchies were obsolete, religious hatred intensified, and people lost faith in the power of the church. They shifted toward a commercial economy, more individual freedom, and development of new industries.…

    What was once a continent of 38 million people almost doubled to 74 million people. This aided the speed with which the disease spread. The large population growth, especially in cities, as well as the lack of sanitation created the perfect breeding ground for the sickness. People in the cities had no real sewage system. They would just throw their waste into the streets. Animals were very common in the cities as well. They would walk around, sometimes unattended, and spread their waste. Sometimes the streets would flood and the human and animal waste would mix and contaminate the drinking water. A contemporary of the time period wrote, “He who lives amidst the stench no longer perceives it; he must depart and return for the stench to affect him.” The people of the time had very little understanding about diseases and how they were spread.…
