The Black Plague, also known as the Black Death, resulted in the deaths of between 75 to 200-million people in Europe in between 1346 and 1353. The Black Death is thought to have originated in the plains of Central Asia, then traveled along the Silk Road to Crimea. From there it was spread by Oriental rat fleas living on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships.
