The Start of the Black Death

The Black death was supposed to have first attacked in the 6th and 7th century. From records from that time it is said that at on e stage it killed 40% of Constatinoble population which would have been major at that time. It was low on record for a while untill it poped up again in 1300's. It is recored that the first deaths started to show up in eastern China. From there it was transfured through rats to different countries by them being accaidently taken in parcels that were getting transported. One of the First trade route was then silk road. The Silk road was one of the biggest trade routes that went from the far east of Asia to central Europe. The reason why it was called the Silk road wa because of in the time of the Hun Dinasty China were known for all the silk that they traded. This was the start of a major problem in the time but because no-one new that it was coming no-one was prepared!
