  2. Essay Prompt Analyze the various responses to the outbreaks of plague from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Discuss the beliefs and concerns that these responses express.Historical background: The plague struck Europe in a series of waves beginning in the mid-fourteenth century. It is estimated that the first wave killed about 25 million people, or one-third of the population of Western Europe. Sporadic but deadly outbreaks continued throughout Europe into the eighteenth century. Europeans at the time did not understand the cause of this bacterial infection, which was spread by fleas that had been infected by their hosts, usually rats. When the rats died, the fleas moved on to infect other hosts, including human beings. Once infected, a person suffered extreme pain and, within a few days, about 80 percent of those infected died.
