The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
The basics:
Sometimes called the Black Death, the Plague, or the Bubonic Plague
I’m super
infected with a
deadly virus!
Now we are
too!
Dern thing
was hiding in
my
moustache!
The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
CAUSES: Overpopulation
o Europeans were
farming all of the
land that they could
o Populations grew
out of control
The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
CAUSES: Unsanitary Conditions
o People rarely bathed
o There was no public
sanitation
o Populations cramped
tightly into cities
Don’t mind
me, just
pouring my
poop out on
the street.
A lot of filthy people create a lot of
trash… what’s attracted to giant piles
of trash laying around in cities?
I’m going to RATS & FLEAS carried the plague and
inflected people when they were bitten
kill you!
The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
…and you thought it was
unsanitary BEFORE!
The Black Plague:

The Black Plague:

So, how’d it get to Europe?
Each one of the dots and lines
is showing a plague outbreak
Notice how it follows right along these trade routes?
The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
CAUSES: The Crusades
o The disease travels with merchants along
trade routes from China to Europe
o Soldiers fighting in the Crusades brought
the disease back with them
Sure, it’ll kill a few
million people, but
just look at this
imported silk rug!
Any ideas on why Poland
dodged the plague bullet?

Solutions?
Europe during
the Middle Ages
isn’t a place of
“learning” and
most things get
explained
through
superstition…
The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
Problem:
Solution:
You’re sick – what
do you do?
You go to the doctor!
I see… the problem
appears to be that
you have no skin!
The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
SOLUTION: Plague Doctors
oDoctors who
worked specifically
with the plague
oHired by cities to
handle the huge
number of sick
citizens
oVERY WELL PAID
The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
SOLUTION: Plague Doctors
So, what top secret methods did these guys use that
made them so awesome and valuable?
I’ll have
Ciao Ezio, I’ve got
to fresh
use caught
leeches today!
science!
The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
SOLUTION: Plague Doctors
They would lance the
buboes and try to
“bleed out” the disease
from their patients (their idea being that
disease was caused by
“bad blood” and that
the only way to cure the
patient was to get rid of
the blood)
The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
And what about the nose?
You mean it
does
something
besides look
awesome?
o It held scented
oils and spices
that were
believed to
“purify” the air
o It also cut the
odor of
working with
all of those
diseased and
dying people
The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
What’s happening here?
The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
SOLUTION: Blaming (and burning) Jews
o Death rates in the Jewish population were
lower
o Jews were blamed for spreading the plague
by poisoning water supplies
The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
SOLUTION: Blaming (and burning) Jews
o Some confessed
after being
tortured and
then the entire
Jewish
population of the
city was burned
alive
This is a perfect example of why torture doesn’t work!
The Black Plague:
________________________________________________________
SOLUTION: Flagellants
o People who believed
that the plague was
sent as punishment
by God
o Whipped themselves
to suffer for
humankind to try to
rid the world of the
plague
The Black Plague:
