1 WELLCOME LIBRARY LEARNING RESOURCE GCSE HISTORY TASKS The plague or Black Death brought terrible grief and fear to millions of people throughout history. It was terrifying because it killed so many people so quickly and because no one knew the cause or a cure. It was present in the ancient world, in Egypt, Babylon and Greece. The plague of 542 CE, called Justinian s Plague, was a major cause of the collapse of the Roman Empire. The plague then declined, only to hit Europe again in the 1340s with devastating effect. About one-third of the population died, and in some towns the proportion was much higher. One survivor wrote: Father abandoned child, wife husband, one brother another none could be found to bury the dead for money or friendship they died by the hundreds, both day and night, and all were thrown in ditches and covered with earth. And as soon as those ditches were filled more were dug. And I, Agnolo di Tura, buried my five children with my own hands. The plague was frightening because it struck so fast: How many valiant men, how many fair ladies, breakfasted with their families and that same night supped with their ancestors in the next world! The plague remained in Europe for the next few centuries, breaking out occasionally. London, for example, suffered from plague outbreaks in 1563, 1603 and 1625 before the Great Plague of 1665, in which 6000 citizens a week died. In Europe it declined in the 18th century the last serious European plague was in Marseilles in 1720 but remained virulent in Asia and China. There were serious outbreaks in the late 19th century, and, in 1903, it even reached San Francisco. Twelve million people died of plague in India in the first half of the 20th century. However, by then the cause and cure had been found: Robert Koch had discovered the plague bacillus in the 1870s and an anti-toxin was found in The bacillus was present in the fleas that lived on black rats. Plague hits humans when the fleas leave their host, looking for another home. TASK 1 a. Look at the 12 sources (A L) showing how people reacted to the plague at different times. For each source, work out the date of the treatment or explanation shown. Note that sometimes the source is a later picture of something that happened earlier.

2 TASKS TASK 1 cont. b. For each source, decide whether it is evidence of a religious, or a practical/scientific approach. Date Religious, or practical / scientific Source A Source B Source C Source D Source E Source F Source G Source H Source I Source J Source K Source L
