Impact

The Bubonic Plague created a major impact on the economical landscape of Europe. The Bubonic Plague also destroyed the farms and fields (“Black Death”). Without the farms the people of Europe can’t bring food to the sick family members of the European people. The European people couldn't receive medicine (even though they were already on their death beads by having the disease) or food to keep them from dying of starvation before they can die due to the Bubonic Plague. The reason that the land in Europe was affected was because of the mass amounts of deaths. On “October 8, 1665,” a letter stated that, “There having died more than 300 in Brentford and Isleworth” (Source 3a). The People of Europe began to live with the thought of death all around them as stated, “and death is now becoming so familiar, and the people so insensible of danger, that they look upon such as to provide for the public safety” (Source 3a). The people that lived in Europe were no longer afraid of death because they lived through it and with it. This can also be shown in a page of a journal written by Henry Muddiman, “The total of the burials this week 8,252 plague 6,978 increase” (Source 1). The Bubonic Plague massacred Europe by killing “30 to 50 percent of Europe” (“The Bright Side ''). In Europe there were new laws prohibiting pets to walk the streets ("Source 2.").
