- The Black Death in 14th Century Europe
- About 25% of the population of Europe was killed in the 14th century. That's 25 million people--more than the total population of Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, and Delaware combined. This disease killed three times more people than died in all of World War I. Before the 1300's, the Plague had been absent from Europe for almost 1000 years. After this time, Plague epidemics occurred almost regularly for 200 years. The Plague changed people's attitudes about life, created new superstitions, and became engrained in folklore in Renaissance Europe.
- In 1348, 67% of population was afflicted.
- In 1361, 50% were infected; few survived. Smaller epidemics occurred from 1300 to 1600, with a great pandemic in 1663 to 1668.
