People die one by one cause by the Black Death crisis
While the England and France were fighting a great new treat came. The crisis was called the Black Death, a deadly plague that swept across the nation of England.The plague originally came from central and eastern Asia. Unknowingly, traders brought rats carrying the disease to Mediterranean ports. From there the disease quickly spread since the flease bit the infected rats and transfer it to humans. The black death wasn't cause by one disease but several, one of the worst one were the bubonic plague could be identified by swellings called buboes that appeared on victims’ bodies. Another even deadlier form could spread through the air and kill people in less than a day. The Black Death killed so many people that many were buried quickly without priests or ceremonies. In some villages nearly ev
eryone died or fled as neighbors fell ill. In England alone, about 1,000 villages were abandoned.The plague killed millions of people in Europe . Some historians think Europe lost about a third of its population. This huge
drop in population caused sweeping changes in Europe.There weren’t enough people left to work in the fields. The peasants and serfs who had survived the plague found their skills in high demand. Suddenly, they could demand wages for their labor. Once they had money, many fled their manors completely, moving instead to Europe’s growing cities.
