The Black Death
The Black Death was a catastrophic pandemic that swept through Europe, Asia, and North Africa in the 14th century, claiming over half the population in some areas.

It serves as a historical dividing line, marking a shift in the world that was felt by both the rich and the poor alike.In this clip
