The first country that got hit by this bubonic plague was China in the early 1330's. As China was one of the busiest in world trading, it wasn't long before the plague had spread round to Western Asia and Europe. By the next August the plague had spread as far as North as England. There it was given the name of The Black Death. No medicine was invented to cure it; nothing could stop this running machine.
In the winter the population re grew again as fleas only come out in Spring, and when that came, down, down population. When 5 years had past of people suffering, 25 million people were dead. But that wasn't the end of this 'Mean Machine' the plague kept coming up, but not killing half as many people as before. The Black Death didn't go away until 1600's.
It wiped out most countries, and was a painful way of dieing. It spread fast and killed even faster. It was caused and spread by black rats. Fleas would suck the rats' blood, the rat would die, and the flea would jump onto a human and bite it so the human gets the rats infected disease and the disease was VERY contagious.
The next day you would witness a surprise either under your arm or on your groin. A huge boil like object that can sometimes get bigger than an apple, would be dangling and wobbling under your arm or from your groin. The next day you would suffer vomiting, sometimes as many as 10 times!! After that you would find red blotches of blood under your skin, they would soon turn black though. Spas attacks would kick in the next day. Finally the lump would burst open and foul, green goe would ooze out. Some lived, but for others, it was a sad farewell and a painful death.
