3. When we talk about the Great Plague of London we refer to the plague epidemic in England in 1665 and 1666 in which about 100,000 people died, 70,000 of them in London, which corresponded to about one fifth of the city's population. Although smaller than the pandemic of the Black Death remained in history due to its numerous victims Definition 1.

5. The plague began to appear suddenly, slowly in London in the 17th century. London at that time was a city of about 448 acres surrounded on the north by a wall, originally built to repel raids, and on the south by the River Thames. There were gateways and the Thames was crossed by London Bridge. In the poorer and less densely populated parts of the city sanitation was difficult to maintain. 3. There were no sanitary facilities and drains flowed along the center of the streets. The cobblestones were muddy and slippery from animal excrement, garbage and sewage thrown from the houses since there were no drainage networks.

6. The situation was complicated as the cleaning of the streets was entrusted to the authorities who threw the sewage outside the walls. The smell was overwhelming and people were forced to cover their faces. The city had supply problems as products such as coal arrived with barges, but most by road. Chariots, chariots , horses, and footmen crowded together, and at the gates of the wall such a crowd formed that it was difficult to pass through. Those who were better off used carriages and portable seats to get to their destination without getting dirty. Black smoke from the breweries was another problem they created problem in the vine of the city . London in 1665 4.

8. The epidemic was probably caused by the enterobacterium Yersinia pestis brought to England by a Dutch ship carrying bales of cotton from Amsterdam, the plague had appeared periodically in the Netherlands since 1654. Due to the squalid living conditions of the dock workers, who lived outside London in wretched conditions were the first to be struck by the plague . The beginning of the Epidemic 6.

9. In July 1665 the plague reached central London. King Charles II, his family and court left the city and moved to Oxford. Meanwhile, the Lord Mayor and councilors remained in their positions. Shops were closed and only a small number of clergy, doctors and apothecaries chose to stay. Doctors roamed the streets to diagnose victims, even though many lacked the necessary training. The city authorities took various sanitary measures, put doctors on duty, and funerals were organized in detail. The city authorities took various sanitary measures the doctors in her service. The beginning of the Epidemic 7.

10. The beginning of the end 8.

11. By mid-July 1665 in London about 1,000 people were dying of the plague every week. In September 1665 casualties reached 7,000 a week while in late autumn the number of new infections began to decline and by February 1666 it was safe enough for the king and his retinue to return to the city. In the meantime, the plague reached pandemic proportions and reached France via trade routes, where it continued into the following winter. The beginning of the end 9.

12. Through this dark period that Europe went through, we also saw an important flowering of art. Works like Daniel Defoe's Diary of the Year of the Plague (1722) went down in history as they depict this era. Arts 10.

13. "Crowd diseases" such as typhus, smallpox, and tuberculosis prospered, and bubonic plague epidemics periodically swept through dense urban populations. In 1563, 1603, 1625 and 1665, about one fifth of the population of London died in plague outbreaks. Ο ther illnesses

14. Typhus , also known as  typhus fever , is a group of infectious diseases that include epidemic typhus, scrub typhus, and  murine typhus. Common symptoms include fever, headache, and a rash.  Typically these begin one to two weeks after exposure. Signs and symptoms begin with sudden onset of fever and other flu-like symptoms about one to two weeks after being infected.[10] Five to nine days after the symptoms have started, a rash typically begins on the trunk and spreads to the extremities. This rash eventually spreads over most of the body, sparing the face, palms, and soles. Signs of meningoencephalitis begin with the rash and continue into the second or third weeks.[citation needed] Other signs of meningoencephalitis include sensitivity to light (photophobia), altered mental status (delirium), or coma. Untreated cases are often fatal Τ yphus

15. Smallpox was an infectious disease that exclusively affected humans and was caused by two strains of viruses, Variola major or Variola minor.The disease is also known by the Latin name Variola or Variola vera , derived from the Latin various, meaning "spotted" (in this particular case the rashes that appear with the disease). As a disease in English it is also referred to as "pox" or "red plague". The term "smallpox" was first used in Britain in the 15th century to distinguish the blessing from syphilis (great pox). The last diagnosis of a naturally infected person was recorded on October 26, 1977. Smallpox
