Detailed explanation-1: -The Black Death was a devastating global epidemic of bubonic plague that struck Europe and Asia in the mid-1300s. The plague arrived in Europe in October 1347, when 12 ships from the Black Sea docked at the Sicilian port of Messina.
Detailed explanation-2: -The plague affected the Hundred years’ war in a large percentage as most deaths occurred in the French army; this led to the creation of armistices between the french and England armies. The collection of taxes in England got compromised, and army funding became difficult.
Detailed explanation-3: -In October 1347, a ship came from the Crimea and Asia and docked in Messina, Sicily. Aboard the ship were not only sailors but rats. The rats brought with them the Black Death, the bubonic plague. Reports that came to Europe about the disease indicated that 20 million people had died in Asia.
Detailed explanation-4: -The war laid waste to much of France and caused enormous suffering; it virtually destroyed the feudal nobility and thereby brought about a new social order. By ending England’s status as a power on the continent, it led the English to expand their reach and power at sea.
