#1 History of the Black Plague (1346-1353)

The epidemic of the "Black Death", also called the black plague or bubonic plague, throughout Europe and Asia, has become one of the most famous events in history. This plague killed 30-60 percent of the entire population of Europe at that time, which ranged from 75 to 200 million people. Population growth did not continue until a century later, and the global population did not recover until the 17th century. The deep religious, social, and economic turmoil caused by the black plague was inevitable.
