Disease and demography: 600 - 1450 Regional and interregional interactions

From 600 to 1450, disease had a major impact on demography and regional and interregional interactions.

During this period, Europe was particularly affected by the spread of bubonic plague which killed millions of people.

In the early fourteenth century, the plague spread from Central Asia to the Mediterranean region and then spread to Europe, where it was known as the Black Death.

The Black Death caused a decrease in the population of Europe, which led to an increase in wages and a decrease in food prices.

This also had a significant effect on trade and commerce, as the population decrease led to a decrease in demand for goods and services.

The plague also had a profound effect on Europe’s religious and social institutions, as it caused an increase in religious fervor and a decrease in social cohesion.

The bubonic plague also spread to Africa and the Middle East, causing similar effects in those regions.
