Here is ur answer mate,

Black Death

In the 14th century,a deadly epidemic swept the world.The Black Death,as it became known,was bubonic plague,a terrible disease that begins with fever,causes agonizing black swelling in the glands,and leads to death,usually within a few days of infection.Millions died.Terrified people fled infected areas and carried the plague with them.In towns the doors of plague carriers were marked with crosses to warn others to keep away.The dead were collected in carts and buried in mass graves.In Europe about one-third of the population died;a similar number probably died in Asia.

Progress of the plague

The plague reached the black sea from Asia in 1346.From there,it was carried by Italian traders to ports on the Mediterranean.It then spread up rivers and land routes into northern Europe.By 1350,most of Europe was affected.

Plague-free areas

Some areas,such as modern-day Poland and Milan,escaped the plague,but the reason for this is still a mystery.

Disease carriers

Plague is caused by a bacterium that lives on rodents.The disease was caught by black rats in Asia,which then colonized ships to Europe and spread the disease among people there.
