Black Death (Plagues)

There was a breakout from 1348 to 1350 and another one in 1665 which the great fire of London seems to help to control the rats. The Victorian of British history was the period of Queen Victoria's reign from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901.

Death toll

60% of Barcelona

40% of Egypt's population

50% of Paris's population

60% of Hamburg's and Bremen's population

110,000 or 120,000 inhabitants in 1338 to 50,000 in 1351 ~ Florence, Italy

around 35% in Germany

80% of Europe

60 major and 150 smaller Jewish communities had been destroyed

Life an wages for the peasants improved because the population had dropped massively, which meant that Lords had to pay more to the very few labourers to get anyone at all to work for them. Peasants started to get confident, as they knew that the lords relied on them for work. They began standing up to them, and even the king! Life also improved because now, once the crops recovered, there were less people to share it between= more for one peasant! Peasants would even mve into their dead nieghbours houses and join them to their own.

No. When it happened in Europe there was no exploration happening, nor trade between the new and old worlds. By the time that did happen the plague was gone for the most part. Every so often a small animal here will be found with it and when that happens the area is closed off for a time and the animal destroyed. ==== Yes. It exists today in certain rural desert areas in the Southwest, where it is carried by rodents and prairie dogs, but it is not common.

Ring around the Rosie means the symptons the people would get who had 'the black death'

A ring a ring rosies (they wore roses around there neck to ward of the sickness)

a pocket full of poses (a pocket full of flowers to make them smell nice because the black death smelt horrible)

A tissue A tissue (they were always blowing there nose and sneezing)

We all fall down (they die of the Black Death)

Actually this is a myth, the lyrics don't even really describe the symptoms of plague unless that's what you REALLY want to hear. The black death was in the 14th century, this rhyme was first heard nearly 500 years later in the late 19th century. Makes for a good story but sadly it seems more likely that the lyrics are simply describing the actions of a dancing game.

Neither medicine nor hygiene were adequate to stop the disease, so it had to burn itself out. Pretty much everyone who didn't have natural immunity to the plague died, leaving mostly those who were immune.

Outbreaks began in Mongolia in 1330 and spread quickly to China and Italy and then to the rest of Europe and parts of Asia. Outbreaks in Europe went on until around the 1720s. Those in Asia continued until the early 1900s.

The disease is not extinct and still resurfaces at times where hygeine is poor. It's carried by rats and the fleas that live on them.

They didn't care, all they did was support the Black Death and let it spread through out Europe because the Spanish we're hardly affected by it. This is also why the Spanish had better trade. This is all because of how Spain was not landlocked and Northern Europe was.

In June of 1348, two ships entered the Bristol Channel bringing the Bubonic Plague to England. The Black Death would continue to ravage the central and western Europe for several years to come.

13,159 died in London in 1665. (: Just look up time line of the Bubonic Plague LAZY!

25 million people in France has died during the black death.

If you mean the Black Plague or Black Death, the death toll was 75-200 million.

Since the beginning of the 1990s, the number of human cases of plague has been rising, and outbreaks are reappearing in various countries after decades of quiescence. Plague is therefore categorized as a reemerging disease. Until recently, Yersinia pestis was considered as uniformly susceptible to agents that are active against gram-negative bacteria. The isolation in Madagascar of two multidrug-resistant strains of Y. pestis, one resistant to all of the antimicrobial agents recommended for treatment and prophylaxis of plague and the other resistant to a smaller array of drugs, is worrisome. The demonstration that horizontal gene transfer in the flea midgut may be the source of antibiotic-resistant Y. pestis strains is of great concern and indicates that such a clinically ominous event may occur again. There is also concern that a biological attack with Y. pestis might employ a natural or engineered antimicrobial-resistant strain. Surveillance of antibiotic resistance in Y. pestis should therefore become systematic worldwide.

because before the black death there were lots of peasants to do labour but after the black death since so many of them had died it was harder to get work from the survivng peasants so the lords offered the peasants higher wages

APEX: England and France engaged in a century-long military struggle.

No some people had the right gene to survive

they wore a white coat and they had their normal clothes underneath

A plague doctor wore a long black cloak which was waxed to "trap" the plague. They also wore a waxed hat and carried a cane which they used to remove the covers from victims and move the patents. Of course they wore the famous beaked mask. The beak was stuffed with sweet smelling herbs and the eye had crystal glass inserts. The whole design of the costume was to minimise skin exposure to the plague and therefore they believed protect themselves.

· Victims were bled and given laxatives to remove blood or bad humors from the body.

· Dried toads were placed on the buboes to draw out poison.

· Butchery regulations were set up to keep streets clean from blood and animal intestines, and other thing animals and insects get attracted to.

· The clothes of victims were burnt. This was a dangerous task as the disease could be spread by contact with victims clothes.

· Towns were closed to people leaving or visiting. Quarantine restrictions badly affected trade.

· Streets were cleaned of muck and rotting waste of every kind.

· The number of mourners were allowed at funerals were limited. Times for funeral were set for mid-day so relatives of the victim who may have been infected were kept off the streets.

· Some towns blamed Jews for the plague: for poisoning their wells and deliberately infecting people with The Black Death. May were killed as a result.

· Lighting aromatic fires to tackle the miasma (bad air).

· Flagellation and religious procession to please god.

The Bubonic plague that swept through Eurpoe and Asia in about the 14th century AD, that killed many may people, for example maybe 1/3 of the population of China at the time. it is also where the nursery rhime, "ring a ring a rosies, pocket full of posies" comes from.

people of the south thought pellagra was caused by eating corn, or that it was a contagious disease carried by insects or bacteria.

Pellagra is caused by lack of certain diets, but people in america don't have to worry about it today, because all the vitamins used to prevent pellagra are in flour.

Genes - unfortunately. The redness is caused by blood vessels close to the skin. It is a matter of genetics. Other factors include: stress, caffeine, alcohol use and in some cases medication. you should go to the doctor and get some cream.

black death changed the ideology of people. It gave birth to many revolutions. Thus.

Not many people survived.

Those who did could demand more rights and better pay because the people died.

This plague came from Asia, perhaps China.

No. I don't think deadly diseases have political party representatives.

The Black Plague killed around 1/3 of the population of Europe in the 14th century. The very poor people and those living in crowded conditions made up most of the deaths. Although we know that the plague hit India and Africa, there are fewer records there.

Some of the results:

- In much of German-speaking territory, Jews were blamed for the plague and were driven out, generally forced eastward.

- So many laborers died that Europe moved from an excess of labor to a shortage. Labor and especially craftsmanship became of much greater value.

- As Europe began to rebuild its population in the 15th century, royal leaders began to send explorers and traders to far places.

- An effort to drive the Muslims out of Spain and parts of the Balkans began.

It helped to get rid of the plague, in many ways including killing a lot of rats. However the plague had died down, by the winter of 1665, meaning that although it helped get rid of the plague for good the plague had already died down by the time of the fire.
