Talk:Third Pandemic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Began this page as an extension of bubonic plague. Please see that article and the talk page. Related pages are the Black Death and the Plague of Justinian. Dissension on the topic is both scientific and historical. Some of the written references listed in the articles contain information on both sides. Comments welcome.

A significant amount of new material particularly on worldwide outbreaks was added. Comments welcome. WBardwin 07:14, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Err, the World Distribution of Plague map is supposedly up through 1998, though it still has a line between East and West Germany.

[edit] Why "third"?

This may be better clarified if there is an explanation of what were considered the 'first' and 'second' pandemics even if naming this a 'third' pandemic was inaccurate.

I added the heading in the Bubonic Plague page. There are three total pandemics. Benjwong 05:24, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
