"realizing what a deadly disaster had come to them, the people quickly drove the italians from their city, but the disease
remained, and soon death was everywhere. fathers abandoned their sick sons. lawyers refused to come and make out wills
for the dying, friars and nuns were left to care for the sick, and monasteries and convents were soon deserted, as they were
stricken, too, bodies were left in empty houses, and there was no one to give them a christian burial."
- unknown, c. 14th century

the silk road connected asia to italy directly through the eurasian steppe.
due to this connection the disease spread
italian merchants and asia suppliers had historically been in touch through
traveling messengers and the disease spread through these messengers,
the silk road connected animals such as donkeys and horses who were
carriers for the black death. due to travel along the silk road, these
animals spread the disease,
italian merchants traded with asia at ports along the black sea. the plague
was carried and spread by the fleas on rats that boarded the ships and
were brought back to italy

The correct answer is D) Italian merchants traded with Asia at ports along the Black Sea. The plague was carried and spread by the fleas on rats that boarded the ships and were brought back to Italy.

The Silk Road contributed to the spread of this disease in Europe in that Italian merchants traded with Asia at ports along the Black Sea. The plague was carried and spread by the fleas on rats that boarded the ships and were brought back to Italy.

The Silk Road was the series of routes that allowed trade between Asia, North Africa, and Europe during the Middle Ages. In the 1340s, the Silk Road also served as a way to spread the Bubonic Plague or Black Death to European territories such as Italy. The Bubonic Plague killed millions of people. Historians say that it almost devasted 70 percent of the population in Europe.

answer: a parliamentary system is a system of democratic governance of a state where the executive derives its democratic legitimacy from its ability to command the confidence of the legislature, typically a parliament, and is also held accountable to that parliament. in a parliamentary system, the head of state is usually a person distinct from the head of government. this is in contrast to a presidential system, where the head of state often is also the head of government and, most importantly, the executive does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature.

countries with parliamentary democracies may be constitutional monarchies, where a monarch is the head of state while the head of government is almost always a member of parliament (such as the united kingdom, denmark, sweden, and japan), or parliamentary republics, where a mostly ceremonial president is the head of state while the head of government is regularly from the legislature (such as ireland, germany, india, and italy). in a few parliamentary republics, such as botswana, south africa, and suriname, among some others, the head of government is also head of state, but is elected by and is answerable to parliament. in bicameral parliaments, the head of government is generally, though not always, a member of the lower house.

parliamentarianism is the dominant form of government in europe, with 32 of its 50 sovereign states being parliamentarian. it is also common in the caribbean, being the form of government of 10 of its 13 island states, and in oceania. elsewhere in the world, parliamentary countries are less common, but they are distributed through all continents, most often in former colonies of the british empire that subscribe to a particular brand of parliamentarianism known as the westminster system.
