An annotated image describing how the Black Death affected people in the 14th century.
The Black Death affected people in the 14th century by making the population go down by 50%-60%. The Europeans spread this disease very quickly because it was very contagious, so that’s why nearly all of Europe’s people suffered from the disease. The population was quickly decreasing, getting lower and lower each day. Nearly 19,569 people died a day. This definitely caused a decline in the European population.

The Black Death spread rapidly among Europe.  The Black Death spread because mongols catapulted dead bodies with the disease over to Europe, causing the spread to happen easily. The mongols sent in ships to Italy holding rats that contained the disease. The disease also could be spread by a simple cough or the touch of another affected person. The two locations farthest from the point of origin were Sicily and Italy.
