How many people were effected and how many died because of the black death?

Answer 1

The Bubonic Plague is the most commonly proposed explanation for the black death. Others dispute this theory and think it is more likely a form of anthrax or a variety of Ebola or typhus or a combination of these , maybe along with smallpox.

The bubonic plague theory indicates the disease was spread by fleas carried by rats.

Answer 2

3/4 of Europe died and the result was a lack of workers for jobs, lack of services, and loss of skills. Imagine your town hit with a disease that kills most of the people. People who know how to repair certain items would be gone, schools would close due to the loss of teachers, the car repair man would be gone, and others who do all sorts of things. On the positive side it allowed people to improve their position in life because they stepped into the void.

Answer 3

The Black Death was believed to have been caused by the plague. Because it caused by infection with the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which is a facultative anaerobic organism that can infect humans by a rat flea. Scientists believe that the Black Death caused an estimation of 75-200 million deaths.
