In 1347 a Genoese ship from Caffa, on the Black Sea, came ashore at Messina, Sicily. The crew of the ship, what few were left alive, carried with them a deadly cargo, a disease so virulent that it could kill in a matter of hours. It is thought that the disease originated in the Far East, and was spread along major trade routes to Caffa, where Genoa had an established trading post. When it became clear that ships from the East carried the plague, Messina closed its port.
Attacking armies, specifically the Mongols, used their plague-infected soldiers as biological weapons against the Italian merchants in Caffa by catapulting the bodies of the deceased into the city. This tactic aimed to spread the bubonic plague among the inhabitants, creating chaos and weakening their defenses. The resulting outbreak contributed to the decline of the population in Caffa, ultimately leading to the city's fall. This event is one of the earliest recorded instances of biological warfare in history.
The plague seems to have started in China in the 1330s.In 1347, armies attacking the town of Caffa in the Crimea, catapulted plague corpses into the town. The Italian merchants took the plague with them to Sicily in October 1347. From there then to Europe.
