most deadly event?

Question

like a war, or something like that. in the whole world history

Answer 1

We can only guess at anything that happened prehistorically, but within the bounds of world history there are three possiblities, depending on which estimates one accepts.

The Black Death of the 14th Century killed an estimated 25 million in Europe, but if one includes the deaths in Asia the total could be as high as 75 million, but that's just an estimate.

The Spanish Flu pandemic that struck after World War I killed an estimated 50 -100 million.

Finally, World War II claimed the lives of an estimated 60 million people, including the concentration camp victims, but again it's hard to say because accurate records are unavailable for some areas, such as China.

There you have it, what are undoubtedly the three biggest catastrophes in human history. Which one you choose to consider as THE worst depends on which set of more-or-less accurate figures you choose to accept. I think the two most likely candidates are the Black Death and the Spanish Flu, but for my money, I would bet on the Spanish Flu, simply because there were a lot more people in the world in 1918 than there were in the 14th Century and therefore a lot more potential victims.

Answer 2

The most deadly event that ever happened to anyone,was birth.Since the beginning of time,birth has inevitably lead to death,which gets every living creature in the end.Only those who were never born have any chance of beating the system.Life is an exceedingly dangerous thing to get mixed up in.
Not only that,but the whole business of life and death is an ongoing thing and the casualty rate has been steadily increasing for a long time and does not look like ever ceasing.Historical events are only a small part of it.So are you and everybody else.The whole world is nothing but a big graveyard.But don't let that stop you having a little fun while you can.

Answer 3

World War 2 killed about 60 million people

Estimates for the black plague in Europe in the 1340's used to be higher than that, but new evedence has lowered the estimates a great deal, McEvedy gives a figure of 15 million

Spanish flu at the end of World War 1 killed about 22 million.

When the new avian flu strikes, it will exceed our worst nightmares. The Spanish flu was also a bird flu, but less deadly than the present one.

Answer 5

It did not effect the whole world but there was a Chinese war that had 20 plus million killed.

Answer 6

I would have to say the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. But in modern history I would say it was probably the destruction of the island of Thera (the lost city of Atlantis) in 1,400 AD. Biblically, I'd have to say the flood. To me the biggest tragedy of our modern history was the burning of the city of Alexandria. It housed the biggest ancient library of all time. All of what they learned about astrology, math, medicine and such were all lost. We could've probably learned much from their ancient wisdom.

Answer 7

World War II ?

The Black Death that struck Europe in the middle ages.
