China and India likely had huge numbers dead due to the Bubonic Plague, but it's poorly recorded as far as I know. Definitely not 'mainly' a European pandemic, although it had such a great influence on European culture that we still talk about it today.
- Andrew_nenakhov 4y agoThe Bubonic Plague and the resulting depopulation is the root cause of humanism, Renaissance, Enlightenment, and eventual recognition of human rights.
- teleforce 4y agoIt's mainly a European pandemic. During the 14th century CE when the Black Death occurred, China and India were the two biggest and richest empires with the most literacy in the world. The probability that such significant event was not properly recorded is very low. Most of the Asian countries' history that we know today including Japan are known from the ancient and later Chinese writings [1].

- teleforce 4y agoI'm refering specifically to the Black Death that is mainly European pandemic during the dark ages period not the later multiple derivatives of it.
