Answer :
Cause: The plague originated in China and Central Asia in the mid-1300s. It was transmitted to Europe in 1347 when a Eurasian army attacked the Genoese trading port of Kaffa in Crimea. Losing soldiers to the disease, the army catapulted plague-infected corpses into the town in an attempt to infect their enemies.
Effect:
- Many laborers died, which left their families with no means of income and created a drastic labor shortage.
- A sudden slump in trade occurred, and wars temporarily halted, although only for a short duration
- Art during the time of the Black Death focused on mortality and the afterlife.
- Anti-Semitism intensified throughout Europe as Jews were blamed for the spread of the Black Death. Violent mobs attacked Jewish communities, killing many Jews.
