Black Death is also known as the Great Plague in Europe. It is often described as the most horrific and devastating pandemics in recorded history.

It lasted between 1346 and 1353. In just 7 years, the plague spread to each and every corner of Europe and even as far as Crimea, North Africa and Middle-East.

In Europe, it led to the deaths of nearly 75-200 million people or approx. 30-60% of the population of Europe.

When the plague ended, there was a large shortage of workers, which helped to increase the wages in European countries. It took almost 200 years for the world population to recover back.
