Plague |
 | | In 1346, the Plague came to Kaffa, a Genoese cathedral city and a port central to the successful Genoese trade industry located on the Crimean Peninsula of the Black Sea. |
| | Kaffa was helpless, barely able to sustain even the crudest living conditions. |
| | Due to the squalid conditions forced upon Kaffa by the siege, it was ripe for the quick desolation of the Plague. |
