The map down below shows the distribution of the black plague around Asia. The map shows that the black plague seemed to be spread along major trade routes. in mongolia, where the disease orginated, the ruler Ghengis Khan used biological warfare by taking the people who had died from the black plague, and launching them over enemys walls to infect them with the disease. the disease was spread to those people from fleas. the fleas got onto rats and the rats got onto boats, going to different countrys along the trade route.This map above shows the spread of the black plague in Europe. As you can see it started in constantinople, from a trade route in asia, and spread along a trade route in europe, to Venice, Rome and Marseille.It than went up to Paris and split to Liege and London and continued upwards. first map: [] second map: [] info: [|__http://boisestate.edu/courses/westciv/plague/__]
