What direction did the plague spread after 1349?

The Black Death or the second pandemic of plague which devastated Eurasia and parts of North Africa in the 14th century, was mostly over by 1349. However, the plague did not just disappear. It became endemic in various parts of the world and caused periodic outbreaks of varying degrees of severity.

In subsequent years, the plague spread to several regions outside of Europe. Here are a few directions in which the plague spread after 1349:

1. North Africa and the Middle East: The plague spread further into North Africa, affecting regions such as Egypt and the Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia). It also reached parts of the Middle East, including Syria and Iraq.

2. Eastern Europe and Russia: The plague continued to spread eastward, affecting regions in Eastern Europe, including Hungary, Poland, and the Balkans. It also spread into Russia, reaching as far as Moscow and Novgorod.

3. Central and Southern Asia: The plague spread into Central and Southern Asia, affecting areas like Persia (modern-day Iran), Afghanistan, and India. In India, the plague caused widespread devastation, particularly in the Deccan region.

4. Sub-Saharan Africa: The plague also spread into parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, though its impact was relatively less severe than in other affected regions. It reached areas such as parts of East Africa and the Sahel region.

5. Scandinavia and Iceland: The plague reached Scandinavia and Iceland, causing significant population decline in these regions.

It's important to note that the spread of the plague after 1349 was not a continuous or uniform process. There were periods of recrudescence and remission in different regions, and the plague's impact varied in terms of severity and mortality rates.
