Black Death - Wikipedia

The Black Death probably originated in Central Asia or East Asia,[6][7][8][9][10] from where it travelled along the Silk Road, reaching Crimea by 1343.[11] From there, it was most likely carried by fleas living on the black rats that traveled on Genoese merchant ships, spreading throughout the Mediterranean Basin, reaching the rest of Europe via the Italian peninsula.

The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population.[12] In total, the plague may have reduced the world population from an estimated 475 million to 350–375 million in the 14th century.[13] It took 200 years for Europe's population to recover to its previous level[14] and some regions like Florence only recovered by the 19th century.[15][16][17] The plague recurred as outbreaks until the early 20th century.
