It’s the 14 century and in Eurasia people around you are dying from having

huge black bubo’s all over their body. It would be scary to sight to see but
that’s what people saw on a daily basis. The smallpox disease and the black
death devastated America and Eurasia in their respective time periods but
were similar and different in how they spread and how they impacted the
community. Black death spread through Infected animals on the silk road and
aquatic trade whereas the smallpox disease spread through person to person
contact because of population density. Smallpox and black death are similar
because of the speed in which the plagues spread and how they killed millions
of people.

The similarities of the black death and smallpox are very deadly. Smallpox
and black death killed millions each year and spread to millions more. This is
important because without these plagues we could be overpopulated currently
and have to fight for the right to live. The reason they killed so many is
because of how the disease worked in the effective infection rate vs death
rate.

One difference that smallpox and black death have are that they have
different ways of infecting and how they spread. Smallpox spread through
Christopher Columbus and the people on his boats. Whereas the bubonic
plague spread through the trade routes and aquatic trade. This is important
because it helps find the origin and where it spread to. The major reason they
didn’t transmite the same way is because they are 2 different types of
diseases and it is spreading in a whole different part of the world. The
difference in spread caused different associated fear for each of the different
diseases.

In conclusion the black death and smallpox are very similar in many ways in
the way they spread vs how many they kill a year. The evident in the fact that
they are different diseases but killed marjonarly similar. Do you think we would
be overpopulated without these diseases?
