BLACK PLAGUE: ONLY PROTECTION! After causing mass extinctions in China, Central Asia, and India, the BLACK PLAGUE arrived in Europe in October, 1347. In the following months and years, it spread out to devastate every European country — WITH ONE EXCEPTION. Before the disease itself actually started infecting people in a new country, NEWS of the impending plague arrived by word of mouth! In 1348, the King of Poland learned how this pandemic was wreaking havoc in the various countries, one after the other. He was the only European ruler who had the wisdom to arm virtually every able-bodied man in his kingdom and immediately send them, along with his combined military forces, to be stationed all along the entire Polish border with all neighboring countries. Absolutely nobody was allowed in nor out! As a consequence, Poland was the ONLY country in Europe which NEVER suffered an outbreak of the Black Plague.
