The right answer is the third one: the bubonic plague originated in the Gobi Desert, part of the then Mongol Empire, around 1320. It then propagated to China and subsequently to India, Europe and Russia. The disease spread via trade routes mainly as a result of a poor hygiene. It never reached the American continent or Sub-Saharan Africa.
I would argue that the primary difference was the introduction of nuclear weapons after WWII--meaning that the spread of communism could actually take over the world as opposed to just causing unrest in the US.
