It can. Something like this; The cause of the black plague in the 1300's were the fleas from the rats that came off the ships from Asia and soon spread across Europe .The effect was the entire population of Europe was affected directly or indirectly through contact with the plague. At this point you could expand the effects of the plague in two paragraphs. One, outlining the direct effects and the second outlining the indirect effects. Get the idea?
The Bubonic Plague, also known as Black Death, was the worst disaster to affect 14th-century Europe and was also one of the most devastating pandemics in human history. This plague was responsible for 75-200 million deaths.The plague presented itself in two forms:Infection of the bloodstream, causing the buboes and internal bleeding. It was spread by contact.Virulent pneumonic type that infected the lungs. It was spread by respiratory infection.
There were two forms of plague, one Bubonic and the other Pneumonic. Pneumonic was not currable.
The crusaders came back with new items, ideas, math, science, and a middle class began to form. Along with the plague the society had to change and the crusaders were free men. The combination of the two pulled Europe into the Renaissance.
