What were some of the areas effected by the Plague and when did the Plague first reach them?

         The Plague was wide spread all throughout Europe and effected most of the continent so there was no avoiding the Plague. More than likely you either had the Plague yourself or knew someone with the
disease. The plague first arrived in Sicily and spread far and wide from there. It reached Constantinople, The Western half of the Ottoman empire, Athens, Crete, Sicily, Corsica, and Sordid. in 1347. In 1348 it reached Santiago, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Barcelona, Marseilles, Venice, Genoa, Papal States, Rome, Naples, Kingdom of Naples, Northeast part of Africa, Rosina, Serbian and Pin Prince, Bulgaria, London, and part of Ottoman empire and Paris. By 1349 the Plague practically reached everywhere including Ireland, Norway, Wales, England, France, Orleans, Hungary, and the South part of Portugal.
       The Plague had pretty much covered Europe so there was no escaping the deadly disease. This was a scary disease because it killed fast once you caught the disease. You would be pretty much devastated if you found out that you had the disease because that meant not much time left to live. The disease was so widespread that most everybody had it. It was so common that sometimes you would walk down a street and see dead people on the side of the road.
