The Bubonic Plague

The Bubonic Plague First emerged in the 14th century (1347) Dispute as to where it originated, but most likely from Asia Brought to Western Europe via merchant ships carrying infected rats A.K.A. Black Plague, Black Death

Background Europe was overpopulated in the 14th century There was a shortage in food, therefore much of Europe was malnourished Where’s the food?... Bad weather and poor harvests led to famine

How it is Contracted/Spread Flea carries bacteria, catches a ride on the rat Bacteria multiply in flea’s stomach Flea bites human and spreads bacteria Infected human spreads bacteria to another human

Symptoms Develop a large growth (called a buba) on your neck, groin or armpit You could have the buba lanced (cut off), but there were no guarantees of survival Extreme pain Black spots or blotches due to internal bleeding Violent coughing of blood Death comes within 1 week. No cure at that time

2 Forms of the Plague Bubonic- flea was the transmitter of the bacteria. Pneumonic- human to human transmission of the disease. 14th century Europe did make attempts at some sanitation & hygiene, but to no avail. Closeness was a factor… 6-8 people often slept in one room.

Impact on Population Estimates range from 1/3 to 1/2 of Europe’s population depleted (75 million worldwide) Villages destroyed and survivors moved to cities for jobs Cities hit the hardest due to overcrowding & sanitation problems All social classes affected, but mainly the lower class The Plague continued throughout the 18th century (1700’s) Cure is discovered in 1947 by an American

Social & Economic Impact No one knew what to do or how it spread. Less people in Europe meant more food and jobs to go around. Good thing! However, an inflation did occur due to lack of production. Food more costly Workers fought for better wages & standard of living. Rebellions occured The Hundred Years’ War would produce more destruction

Impact on the Church Population lost faith in clergy members who claimed they could cure victims Theories emerged that God was punishing the Europeans, Christians blamed the Jews Extreme groups formed like the flagellants who would beat themselves as punishment for society’s sins The church lost much of its clergy, church reforms would soon emerge

Cultural Impact European society grew very pessimistic about life in general Angry about their losses Literature, art, and music emphasize death and the plague New universities formed at this time due to the “decay of learning” during the plague

Question Using the question below, please form a response in your notebook based on what was covered in class today: How did the Bubonic Plague affect the culture, society, economy, and religious aspects of 14th century Europe?
