  to Europe by traders who unknowingly brought rats
  carrying the disease to Mediterranean ports. From
  there it quickly spread through most of Europe.
  Fleas that fed on infected rats passed on the
  disease to people

• The black plague killed 1/3 of the population,
  approximately 25 million people

  weakened by the growth of cities, collapsed
• Plague survivors found their skills in demand and
  charged more for their labor. Instead of working
  for the rich, peasants now had job opportunities

36
What happened to it

• They eliminated the places that rats wanted to
  be, therefore killing rats, therefore killing the
  fleas that fed off the rats
