Map depicts the routes and years that the "Black Death" also known as the Pestilence, the Great Mortality or the Plague) was a bubonic plague pandemic occurring in Afro-Eurasia from 1346 to 1353. ... The plague created religious, social and economic upheavals, with profound effects on the course of European history. This map was important for my project as it illustrates similar routes of transmission and origin as cholera and malaria. The area of recorded outbreak is marked in green in the Caspian Sea and Caucasus regions moving in an east to west direction before turning back on itself and reentering Russia from a west to east direction.
