Bubonic Plague was one of the most feared diseases of the ancient and medieval worlds. Nobody could tell what caused it, and most people who got it died within a few days, screaming in pain. And when one or two people in a village got it, usually it spread to everyone else, and many of them died. Plague caused a fever, and black spots on your chest sometimes, and sometimes great big black swellings on your armpits and at the top of your legs. That's why they called it the Black Death. These swellings got hard like rocks and hurt, and then in a day or two people usually died. There was no effective treatment, though of course people tried all kinds of things, from magic to surgery. Sometimes people did get better on their own, if they had good nursing care and were very healthy to begin with.Today we do know what causes bubonic plague. Fleas carry it in the blood they suck; if a flea bites an infected person or animal (usually it's rats) and then bites you, then you'll get it too. People do still get bubonic plague, even today. But today we can cure it with antibiotics, and so most people who get it live

Why did the black plague come?
It came on rats aboard ships that sailed to Europe. It originated in Asia and first spread through Europe in the 14th century. It reached London in 1666, just after Italy and Vienna had been struck with it. The great fire of London, also in 1666 did help in a clean up of the plague. However, people in 1666 thought much differently. Many people believed the Black Plague came from God, to smite the unbelievers and blasphemers. Much like the situation with Noahs Ark. The church used the plague to get more people back into religious control confirming it had indeed been a message from God.

How did geography help prevent the spread of the plague?
Geography played a role in preventing the spread of the plague by creating natural barriers like mountains, rivers, and oceans that limited the movement of infected individuals and rats carrying the disease. Isolated areas were less likely to be exposed to the plague due to these geographic features, helping to contain its spread.
How did the great fire of London help the plague?
It helped to get rid of the plague, in many ways including killing a lot of rats. However the plague had died down, by the winter of 1665, meaning that although it helped get rid of the plague for good the plague had already died down by the time of the fire.
