The Plague and The Corona Virus

Mason Freburger 3/26/20 The Plague and The Corona Virus          The plague that hit Athens during the Peloponnesian and the Corona Virus that is happening now is very similar. The plague is bad because it is a disease that was not curable back then so everyone would die from it if they had it. If you get the Corona Virus and you have a bad immune system you can die from it because there is no cure yet. The plague was spreading like wildfire and all of Athens had it. The Corona Virus is spreading slowly around the world. The city of Athens was destroyed and smelled horrible. The stocks and economy is dropping because of the Corona Virus. People are panicking because they are getting food ,toilet paper ,ammo, guns, can goods and more. If you go to a grocery store all the shelves are emptying you can find anything that you need. I think that the Corona  Virus is going to pass overtime unlike the Plague because the plague killed everyone.

Geography having the most productive crops because they would grow so fast and animals that ate and were kept  healthy  allowed Europeans to develop guns, germs, and steel, and ultimately, to take over the world slowly.  2)Why were the Europeans who settled the South African cape(tip) so successful? Describe two reasons.  The temperature and the climate in the South African cape is nearly identical as what the Europeans had at home. Because the Cape and Europe have a basically the same latitude which is the distance from the equator. They can grow the same types of plants and raise the same types of farm animals in Africa as they did in Europe. 3)How did disease allow the Europeans to conquer the native populations in the Americas and in the African cape?  European...
