The term "French Plague" historically refers to a series of outbreaks of syphilis in Europe during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. It was called the French Plague because it was believed to have originated in France and spread to other countries, particularly among soldiers and sailors during the Italian Wars. The stigma associated with the disease led to its association with France, though it is now understood that it likely existed in various forms prior to this time. The name reflects the societal tendency to assign blame for epidemics to specific nations.
