- The Black Death spread from Asia to Europe, leaving chaos. Some estimates imply that it wiped away more than half of Europe's population. It was caused by a strain ofYersinia pestis, which is probably extinct now, and was transmitted by fleas on affected rats. The victims' remains were dumped in mass graves.The epidemic affected the direction of European history. With so many dead, labor became scarce, resulting in higher wages for laborers and the end of Europe's slave labor system.
