 | | The Black Death | | by balisunset, Aug 31, 2008 | | Repeated episodes of pandemic plague affected large areas of Eurasia over millennia. The "plague" was almost certainly a combination of bubonic plague (rat flea borne, and highly disfiguring), pneumonic plague (a more lethal variety, and because air-borne also the most infectious strain), and septicaemic plague (human flea borne, and a quick killer). | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |

 | | Constantinople, The Byzantine Empire Black, and The Death Plague | | by balisunset, Aug 3, 2008 | | In 542, Roman Emperor Justinian was actively rebuilding the empire from its new headquarters in Constantinople, often referred to as the Byzantine Empire since there was so much Greek influence
there. The old western part with its center in Rome had been taken over by barbarians, vandals, and others. Through a series of military victories, Justinian's forces had been able to recapture much of Italy and had also been successful on other fronts. It was in the midst of these successes that Constantinople was ravaged by the first case of a Black Death pandemic. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |

 | | The England Black Death Plague | | by balisunset, Jul 27, 2008 | | No one knows why the bubonic plague, or Black Death as it came to be known in England, broke out in eastern Siberia in the 1300s and spread westward. There was very little knowledge, at that time, of the ways by which diseases are carried from place to place, so many of the efforts to get rid of them were ineffective. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 1 |

 | | The Black Death | | by dannyboi999999990, Mar 20, 2008 | | The Black Death was a terrifying disease that spread through Europe between 1347 and 1351 where fatalities were suffered in greater numbers than any other epidemic or war up to that time. In Europe alone twenty-five million people died in Asia and Africa the mortality rate was even higher. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |
