Detailed explanation-1: -The plague killed an estimated 25 million people, almost a third of the continent’s population. The Black Death lingered on for centuries, particularly in cities. Outbreaks included the Great Plague of London (1665-66), in which 70, 000 residents died.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rats have long been blamed for spreading the parasites that transmitted plague throughout medieval Europe and Asia, killing millions of people. The Great Plague of London (1665-1666) was estimated to kill nearly a quarter of the city’s population in 18 months alone.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plague of Justinian: Bubonic plague appears suddenly in the Egyptian port of Pelusium, spreading to Alexandria and, the following year, to Constantinople. This is the beginning of a 200-year-long pandemic that will devastate Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1665 a devastating epidemic struck this country killing thousands of people. Officially the ‘Great Plague’ killed 68, 595 people in London that year. The true figure is probably nearer 100, 000 or one-fifth of the city’s population.
