middle aged people thought the plague started by God, and that he was punishing them for the sins they have done or haven't

2.Black evil pestilence of Satan by the mortal sin of man against God.(Orthodox religious view)
People thought that the plague was caused because God was punishing them for their sins, some people thought it was caused by the corruption of the atmosphere, or their were people who thought it was caused by the movement of the sun and planets, foreigners or people of a different religion, such as Jews, had poisoned the drinking water.
They thought they were being punished by god. Some thought Jews were At Fault. Fear caused them to blame and suspect anyone
Answer:
People in the middle ages thought it was a punishment from God for their sinfulness, or they blamed it on the Jews.
Answer:
Scientists how believe that the black death, or Bubonic Plague, was caused by the fleas on the rats present in the ships used for transportation during the Middle Ages. The black rats were often present on merchants ships heading to Europe and the Mediterranean. Scientists however are not sure whether the fleas carried the Yersinia pestis bacterium or whether it was viral hemorrhagic fever. Whatever the pathogen, it was easily spread from the rats to merchants/soldiers and then to civilians as they made their way along the highly populated caravan trading routes stretching from Central Asia to Western civilization.
People thought the black death came from Jews poisening the water, God punishing them and the human waste in the street.
They thought that god had punished then for drinking and dancing on Saturday nights and so they whipped them selves in public to show god how sorry they were
they also thought that the Jews had poisened the drinking water. haha they're way off! :D
Most of the people had no idea what was causing the black death. Animals were eventually suspected including dogs, rats and cats. It was actually the fleas that carried the disease.
They thought it had something to do with the smell of the gases and religious people believed it was the way that certain people acted.
Also that it was the Jews [poisoning wells] because they hated them so much
or bad smells and stuff like that.
They thought that if they spoke to much that's how they caught it
Medieval people had many theories about what caused the Black Death. Many thought that it was sent from God, maybe as a punishment for their sins (this caused the Flaggelants- people who whipped themselves, and thought this would take away their sins and give them favour in the eyes of God). Some also thought that the cure-less plague may be the apocalypse.
Witches were also blamed. Many other groups, such as the Jews, were also blamed. Jews and other minority groups were prosecuted in some villages.
Bad smells and invisible poisons in the air are just some of the other things that medieval people blamed the Black Death on.
Other people from the world came to medieval ports in Europe with rats that have disease and the disease from the rats spreaded to humans. It killed about a third of Europe's population. It was so deadly that people called it BLACK DEATH.
There was many things that they believed caused the black death:
- Drinking ale on Sundays
- Dancing too much
- Wearing pointy shoes
- Not praying
- If someone stared at you
There is 1 more but it is offensive to some people and so I am going to leave that out.
Hope you found this helpful.
because medicine was not advanced in the middle ages the people believed the black death was caused by a number of thing's thought it was caused by the Jews water the 4 humours
Some religious people believed that God was punishing them for their sins.
+++ That was commonly believed at the time because of course no-one then knew anything about diseases, let alone that the Black Death pathogen was carried by rats whose parasite fleas then transmitted it to humans.
What "is were" makes that two questions.
At the time doctors (if you can call them that) thought it was bad air and church leaders thought it was sexual misbehavior. There were other beliefs but those dominated.
Today it is believed it was spread by fleas carried by rats. Fleas carrying the disease infected rats. When the rats died the fleas had to find another host and that was a person or another rat. Then when infected people died the flea jumped to another person and so on.
