The plague, specifically the Black Death, began in Asia, particularly in the region of modern-day China. It spread to Europe in the mid-14th century via trade routes, including the Silk Road. The disease was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which was transmitted through fleas that infested rats. This devastating pandemic significantly impacted populations across continents during that time.
