Why was that spot in Eastern Europe spared the devastation of the Black Death pandemic?
quarantined in time
also poland was kind of a backwater and no one really went there anyway

>Poland was more of a backwater than scandinavia, russia etc
No Jews to poison the wells.
No wells for Jews to poison.
Jews won't poison their own wells.
Didn't Poland have one of the biggest Jew populations?
tbqh if I was a Jew and constantly had to deal with shit and pogroms from retarded Christian peasants and shopkeepers I'd probably poison their wells too.
>>915676
jews got poisoned by the wells and died
to no poison wells the Jew.
no wells for jews to poison
>>915603
There is fucking no way that the West of Ireland and fucking Samiland got the plague and Milan didn't. I'm calling bullshit.
>>915603
The Jews weren't going to poison their own wells, duh.
This could have been a interesting thread, but no. Instant shit upon by braindead memesters.
>>915741
Probably Jews trying to keep us away from the truth.

It's stupid to poison your own wells, fucking kikes

hansa merchant guilds and trade flourished in the north sea, baltic and tributaries, even as far north as the white sea, the successor states of the mongol empire stretched all the way to China, the Danube and Dnieper connected Hungary and Kiev to the world
Poland was kind of a vacuum for many centuries, anyone seeking cultural and intellectual life left
>>915603
Why would the jews want to poison their own wells?
>>915603
Wells were saving Jews for the holocaust.
What's up with the Milan area?

Merchants.

Happy merchants?
>>915945
Wouldn't you be happy if your city was spared when everyone around was was dying of the plague?
>>915603
Even the Black Death wants to avoid the shitbucket that is Poland.
I believe Milan built a wall. Not sure who paid for it.
Dunno about Navarre.
Damn these jews sure are tough.
Listen they just didnt catch the plague because their region was insignificant in trade. Were quarantined by internal struggle. The diets of the people were high in natural anti biotics. Little to no migration...pyrenees was not the first place people had in mind when they wanted to travel and neither was part of eastern europe...

Was never as big a deal as Baltic-Black Sea or Black Sea-German trade. Those were the highways of the day, and the transmission went East to West anyway. Vistula is against the grain.
Is the Vistula shallow enough to freeze, or too shallow to support ocean-going ships?
>>916165
>The Vistula is navigable from the Baltic Sea to Bydgoszcz
>>916171
If it's worth anything, the Hansa had an office in Krakow and one of their most important cities Danzig(gdansk) was placed at the river's end.
>>916228
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vistula
>For hundreds of years the river was one of the main trading arteries of Poland, and the castles that line its banks were highly prized possessions. Salt, timber, grain, and building stone were among goods shipped via that route between the 10th and 13th centuries.[21]
They realized early and they burned all suspects. If you had a cough odds were you'd be burned.
Better map
Better hygenic standards, le plumber meme is real - they had better sanitary systems than the rest of Europe.
These maps aren't too exact to begin with. In many parts of Europe noted as affected were actually barely was and could be hardly called devastating.

>>916161
So the Jews couldn't poison their wells?
First he poisons our cinema next he'll be poisoning the wells again
>>916419
This is actually true when it comes to Bohemians under the rule of Charles IV. They had better hygiene and sanitary standards than say, the French.

It isn't a meme, check the primary sources about medieval Paris and people who emptied their chamber pots full of shit out of their windows, trash piling up in the streets, rats everywhere, etc.
And for the matter London was largely the same until early 19th century.
I feel awful for laughing at well poisoning jokes but anyway.
Would water trade and access be part of it? What was crowding like in the cities?
>>916508
There were no wells to poison.
>>915603
The gray actually signifies a high Jewish population
>>916433
I wonder if Lucky Lorentzski cancelled his dental appointment at the well on the morning of the Black Death?
>>915603
it would be a bit silly to poison your own wells
>>915603
Two reasons.
1.) No well for Jews to poison.
2.) You know how Milan took super stringent measures to stop the plague? Well Poland's king order those on an even greater level.

Jews had good hygiene, everyone but poland kicked out the jews, so the poles got good hygiene
The Pripyat Marshes mostly lie within the Polesian Lowland and occupy most of the southern part of Belarus and the north-west of Ukraine. They cover roughly 104,000 square miles (269,400 km2) surrounding the sandy lowlands of the dense network of rivers and rivulets forming on both sides of the Pripyat River, one of the main tributaries of the Dnieper.[1] Dense woods are interspersed with numerous swamps, moors, ponds and streams extending 300 miles (480 km) west to east and 140 miles (225 km) north to south.

Top kek as they say
The plague was somewhat less common in parts of Europe that had smaller trade relations with their neighbours, including the Kingdom of Poland, the majority of the Basque Country, isolated parts of Belgium and the Netherlands, and isolated alpine villages throughout the continent.[

How come Flanders is left untouched? I'm pretty sure the plague fucked shit up in Ghent, Bruges, Ypres and Lille

You have actual primary sources for people dumping their own shit outside their front door?

Shitheads
>>922385
>> all jews had been expelled from England 60 years before
Yes, exactly why England was affected by the plague; the Jews didn't have to worry about letting it loose because It wouldn't kill their own
>>922422
>they can get the plague to England despite not being able to get to England
Shithead

>With a wagon pulled by horse 15 - 25 miles/day takes 9.6 - 16 days. With a wagon pulled by oxen 10 - 12 miles/day takes 24 - 20 days (most people who were infected with the plague died within 24-72 hrs so it becomes easy to see that most would die on the way before reaching the more dense populations
intredasting
NOT EVEN PLAGUE RATS WANTED TO GO TO POLAND
People would rather die of black death than go to Poland and I can't blame them.
>>915603
Because God loves Poland!
>>915603
Weirdly enough, I don't remember there ever being a mention of the Black Death in Serbia in history classes.
We learn that the Black Death happened, but it was something like "it happened in the West" but not like it happened here.
>>916170
Poland is central europe you pleb

Rats didn't want to get infected by poles.

dude ..... sick memes.... I see you post on reddit too? Epic ;) have my upvote!

Milan went full fucking retard with the quarantine measures. They literally walled sick people within their own houses and then burned them down. They also practiced the venetian quarantine system.
>>915603
papist shithole, not even the plague wanted to visit
>>923806
WE WAZ TATARS N SHIT
>>915603
That picture is misleading, since it asserts that there was a homogeneous distribution of deaths in the covered areas. Fact is that most people who died lived in cities and densely populated places. Poland didn't have that many of those so less people died.
>tfw I was late to the wellposting

Notice how we don't see the amount of plague in Israel. It makes you wonder.
>CTRL + F "well"
meme'd
Jews bathed, King built a wall, and Poland wasn't a big player in trading.
It's because Poles drank hot new vodka and killed the bacteriae.
Stop of asking questions, niemcy
