How did the plague rise?

The plague came along at the time of 1348-1350. People lived PACKED together in cities, so ANY disease would’ve been able to spread VERY QUICKLY with DEADLY affects. Surgeons had no cure and the Black Death spread so RAPIDLY that it rose to DISASTER. The black rat carried the disease into Europe. It took over the European cities and surgeons and doctors had no idea what to do. The black rat carried the disease that came from fleas, onto trade ships.

The plague went ALL THE WAY UP AND THROUGH the Italian Peninsula, France, Rhineland, Central Europe, and then finally the British Isles. The plague died for a while in Scandinavia but came back later on. MILLIONS died from the harmful disease with dreadful affects and symptoms. It seemed to me to be a TERRIBLE and MISERABLE way to die.
