The black death
The black death arrived in Europe by sea in October 1347.When 12 trading ships docked at the Sicilian port after a long travel though the black sea.The people who gathered on the docks found something horrifying.Most of the sailors adored were dead,And the people still alive were very sick.They were not able to keep food down,they had a bad fever,and they were in a lot of pain.They were covered in black boils that oozed blood. Thats where the name black death came from that illness.The black death killed about 20 million in Europe.
