Black Death Concept Map: Key Branches Explained
The Black Death was a pandemic of bubonic plague that reached Europe in 1347 and killed a large share of its population within a few years. A black death concept map usually splits the topic into its causes, the routes of spread, and the economic, social and religious effects that followed.
- Causes: the bacterium Yersinia pestis, carried by fleas on rats
- Spread: trade routes, ports and crowded towns
- Symptoms: buboes, fever and high mortality
- Social effects: labor shortages and changes in wages
- Long-term change: shifts in religion, medicine and public health
