The Black Death and the Plague Doctor mask

The Great Mortality, or as it is better known, the Black Death, was a time in medieval history that saw the population of the world practically drop by half.

This event marked a pivotal moment in history, resulting in the emergence of a new world from the ashes.

The year is 1347, and it's been almost 800 years since a plague ravages the Roman Empire.  The bacterium Yersinia pestis ravaged the Mediterranean Basin, Europe, the Near East, and Constantinople.  

Instead of focusing on the horrors of the Plague, I want to briefly discuss what good, if any, came from these 300 years.
