The Plague Fun Facts
The Plague, specifically the Black Death in the 14th century, is estimated to have killed about 25 million people in Europe, roughly one-third of the continent's population at the time, but it also led to significant societal changes that ultimately improved workers' rights and wages due to labor shortages.
The Plague contributed to the popularity of the Death Dance or Danse Macabre art motif, which depicted people of all classes dancing with skeletons, symbolizing the universality of death.
