Where the Black Death Fits in History!

On the last term of chemicals and chaos, we had to study different chaotic events that happened throughout the years. There were a lot of different events to choose from, such as the 9/11 attack, the Alaskan tsunami and etc. But this time we are going to be learning about the "Black Death" also known as the Black Plague. First, what is the black death? The Black Death is known to be the most fatal pandemic recorded in human history, ending in the deaths of up to 75–200 million people.

Anyways for this chaos task, we had to first answer what the difference of an epidemic and a plague was. So what is an epidemic and a pandemics?

• Epidemic: A widespread occurrence of infections in a community at a particular time. 
• Pandemic: An epidemic that’s spread over multiple countries or continents.

The difference is that the epidemic is a disease that affects a huge number of people within a town, community, or country. Which pandemics are just an epidemic that has expanded over many countries/continents.

For our second task is to make a timeline about the Black Death and where it fits in history, as well as other events that happened. Here is the timeline that I made.
