One of the last outbreaks of the plague in England was the Great Plague of London in 1665-66.
Some parts of Ireland and Scotland. They were the last affected with Black Death.
The last outbreak of the bubonic plague (Black Death) in England was in 1665. The last widespread worldwide outbreak of bubonic plague lasted from 1855 to 1959. The bubonic plague infects a few people just about every year, but is fairly easily controlled with commonly available modern medicines.
The black plague peaked in Europe in 1348 to 1350. The black death killed 30-60% of Europes population.
It had to go all the way from the Meditarranean to Britain - it took about 2 years. And Britain wasn't the last - northern countries got it last! Girl, 12, West Bridgford School
It's another name for the plague... apparently in the last stage of the disease your skin turns dark... and then you die.
In 1665 there wasn't the black death. The last large plague outbreak was in the 1330. There was an outbreak in China in 1855 caused by rats and fleas. ___ There was a major plague in 1665 that swept through England. London was especially hard hit. It was started the same way the earlier plague outbreaks began - fleas from rats.
The Black Death, plague, lasted from the first pandemic of 1347 through to the 1750s. World population did not recover until the 1770s.
To quote the Wikipedia entry under "Black Death," "Bubonic plague is thought to have returned to Europe every generation with varying virulence and mortalities until the 1700s" The last Black Death epidemic of note in England struck London in 1665-66
During the middle ages the death total was calculated in 20 million but The black death brought 200 million deaths in the last 4 thousands years.
The Black Death was a specific outbreak of bubonic plague. The last widespread outbreak of the bubonic plague was the one called the Third Pandemic, which started in 1855 and ended in 1959. Since that time, there have been a number of cases in which individuals or small groups of people got it, but it was controlled by the use of antibiotics. There are links below.
A usual sign is your fingernails turn dark purple around your cuticles. You may have an uncure-able case if they are black. Another sign of the Black Death is a high fever and uncontrollable shaking or shivering. Muscular pains could also be a sign. However, Black Death is NOT the same as the Black Plague so if you read signs of the Black Plague then its not Black Death. Black Death originated in most rural and urban parts of northern, southern , and eastern Europe and was not seen in the last Century. So chances of anyone catching it now is close to impossible.
