    The document discusses the origins and spread of the plague in Europe during the Middle Ages. It began in the late 1200s as Mongols conquered parts of Asia and Eastern Europe, carrying diseases from those regions. By 1347, the plague had reached Constantinople and then spread throughout Europe between 1347-1351, ultimately killing an estimated 25 million people, or 35-70% of the population, as attempts to stop it through medicine and religion proved unsuccessful.
