The plague was found in many places during the medieval times. Usually found in major trade routes and big cities. Major routes the plague was found in included Asia to the Middle East. Mongolia and Northern China through Turkestan, then to the Black Sea region. India through the Indian Ocean (and the Persian Gulf) on cargo s
hips. The plague was also in the Fertile Crescent. Athens was then effected when refugees from other countries fled to Athens while trying to avoid getting the disease.
The only region that could mildly escape the terrible Black Death was Scandinavia. But even then, some of Scandinavia’s people still had mild cases of the plague. With these mild cases of the Black Death, many people who caught the mild case in Scandinavia survived it. Usually at least one person you knew had the Black Death.So if you were traveling during these times and through these places, you would probably see cases of the plague or get the plague yourself.
