The Black Death was a pandemic disease that swept across Afro-Eurasia in the 14th century. Some scholars believe that this plague contributed to the decline of the Yuan (Mongol) Dynasty and the subsequent rise of the Ming Dynasty. The plague changed social, economic, and political relationships in Afro-Eurasia. During this period, Europe experienced a series of religious revivals that often included waves of persecutions of the Jews. This religious revival may also have contributed to the secularization of Europe.
