The Plague's Ongoing Impact
The plague has never truly vanished, and when it re-emerged 800 years later, it caused devastation on an unprecedented scale. The Black Death, which struck Europe in 1347, resulted in a staggering loss of around 25 million lives within just four years. Some historians suggest that the actual death toll could have been even higher, reaching up to 200 million.
