1.What was the bubonic plague and what were the symptoms? 2.How did the plague travel from Asia to Europe? 3.Describe the widespread effects of the bubonic plague.

 * -The rats that carried infected fleas came with merchants along trade routes, so the plague traveled from Asia to Europe.**
 * -Christians thought it was a punishment for sin, where as Muslims thought it was the testing for their faith in God. The plague killed 20 to 30 million people by 1400. Wars stopped, as well as the trade declining. For some people, it was economic recovery, but for others such as landowners, they were ruined by a shortage of labor. Feudalism was weakened since workers started to migrate for higher wages. Furthermore, Jews were often accused of causing plague by poisoning water wells.**

= = =__Assignment 11__= Directions: The following questions are related to our Inca rule simulation. Please answer the questions **clearly** and with **details** on your wiki page. Our group produced corn, but we couldn't make much tokens since we were not totally united. We had to give it to the governors, so finally we had two food left. It is because they didn't have strong army so they accepted Inca demands. They didn't want to be killed or conquered by not accepting the demands. The leader and some others were put into death, and the others who were able to live were put into other quarters. It helped because if they didn't accept, they conquered the land and killed or put the people into other quarters. I think the biggest empire would succeed, probably Aztecs.

__Assignment 7__ Julius Caesar is both famously and notoriously known for its leadership in Rome. Some of his accomplishments include winning the war against the Gaul, fighting for control of Rome, and government reform movement. His accomplishments were made possible because he was a multi-talented man. He came to be the great leader because he had both the military skills to win over anyone and also a clever political talent to rule the people. But his ambitions reached to far. For example, his reforms included the duration of his ruling period. He would rule until he dies and his family will rule after him. This over extension of his greed of power made people worry that he would become a horrible dictator. Eventually, he was assassinated by senators. There are two different opinions about Caesar’s rule. Some people think he was a dictator. He fought for power, wanted to control Rome and didn’t know when to stop. Others think that he was still a great leader who brought many reforms so that it would help the common people. Either way his fame still continues today.

__Assignment 6__ I'm from Galia, and the Romans conquered us by invading us. Also, they called us barbarians. I might never see my family again, they will take my chariot, horse, weapons, and also the metal goods such as necklaces. They died because of hunger, disease, and beatings. We are sold as slaves in the market. We stand on the platform where everybody can see us, then people buy us. I'll become a gladiator but it's better than being slaves mining, quarrying, rowing, or farming. So being a gladiator is better. I like the doctor because whenever I'm sick, he makes me have less pain. I want to be Secutor because he chases the opponent until he catches the opponent. I have a fight with the other person to make them entertained. I can rest if I survive until midday. I raise one finger from left hand to appeal the emperor I'll perish and the body will be dragged away(dumped in a pit) while the winner gets the prize.
