| Kaffa, Crimea, Genoese Trading Colony, 1421 - 1435 |   | Kaffa (Feodosiya, Ukraine) is infamous for bringing the Black Death to Europe. In 1347, Tartar forces besieging the city began to die off. At first the Genoese hoped this would end the siege, but then the enemy catapulted plagued infested corpses into the city. Although they quickly dumped the bodies into the sea, the damage was done. Hoping to escape the spreading disease, four Genoese ships, thought to be untainted, departed for Italy. |
