The Bubonic Plague of the mid-fourteenth century was the most devastating natural disaster in European History. We now know that this plague was caused by rats that were infected by bacteria-carrying fleas. The rats carried the disease as they were unknowingly transported with cargo ships through trade routes. A third of the entire population of Europe is thought to have been killed by this plague. What caused the Bubonic Plague?
Well, you know that the disease was carried by fleas which were transported by rats from place to place and I am suspecting that you want to know how it spread across Europe. that is simple enough. TRADE. There was a growth of trade in them thar days with ships going all over the place. There was a trade between the Arabic countries with Indian and other parts of Asia and they brought it into their countries and then a lot of what them imported was exported to Western Europe and thus is travelled to thhose countries. You need to see a map on the spread of the disease to see exactly what I am talking bout.
Filthty living conditions might have been a contributor, but it was not the cause nor the way that the disease moved.
