Too broad a question! You would have to narrow it down to natural disaster, ancient disasters, man made technological disasters, human error, war, disease, war, so many different categories to consider.
Extinction of the Dinosaurs is major in the evolution of the world. World War one wiped out a generation of men. The Holocaust wiped out generations of the Jewish people, collapses of damns have killed millions, forced starvation has killed millions particularly in China and Russia, Chernobyl is a wake up call to humanity and that disaster will be monitored for years, the sinking of the passenger liner Wilhem Gulvstavsen (check spelling on that one) by a Russian torpedo claimed the lives of over 10 000 people, Krakatoa killed over 35 000 and the list goes on.

so far, if the telling of the story is even remotely real, it may be the cataclysms that sank the two Atlantis and Lemuria. in accordance to the legends, Atlantis substitute into an island interior the north Atlantic ocean between what's now america and what's now North Africa. there substitute right into a volcanic eruption of such stress that the sky substitute into darkened, and the sea point rose dramatically because of the fact the island fell below the waves. it extremely is the legend that in actuality gave beginning to the "great flood" legends of many civilizations. the story in Bible isn't the only such legend. The Epic of Gilgamesh pre-dates the story of Noah's Ark by utilising approximately 3600 years.

It will prove to be global warming.
To this point, the first world war. Had it been avoided not only would the horrific killing have been avoided but also the second world war and its horrors AND the Great Influenza of 1918 that killed tens of millions of people.

It was whatever world catastrophe happened millions of years ago to nearly wipe out all living creatures, and make them start all over again in repopulating the earth.
