The Black Death was a disease that was brought by ships that came from China. Inside those ships were rats that already had the disease. The rats then got off of the ships and went into the villages during the Middle Ages in Europe. The rats then bite many animals, that passed down the disease. After that the people in those villages would consume the animals.Those animals were pigs, cows, chickens and sometimes even dogs and cats.
     The Black Death affected many people because they would pass it down to their families. Then most of those people would die. Soon there were only 2/3 od the population.
