The Black Death, 1348. Printer Friendly Version >>>. Coming out of the East, the Black Death reached the shores of Italy in the spring of 1348 unleashing a rampage of death across Europe unprecedented in recorded history. By the time the epidemic played itself out three years later, anywhere between 25% and 50% of Europe's population had fallen victim to the pestilence.
The Black Death originated in Asia and was brought to Europe along silk trade routes in the 1340s. It had widespread devastating effects, killing 1.5 million people in the first two years. By the end of the century, the worldâs population had dropped from 450 million to 350 million.
