After the black death plague these, terrain filled with mayat2, houses, villages and cities become desolate and empty. After that there was a scarcity of labor so that their wage increases and many slaves get their freedom. It is said that thousands of human framework used as the basic construction of buildings Chapel Evora in Portugal it is a frame of the victims of plague black death malignancy. Extinction black death largely due to improvements in sanitation, which weakens the ability of carriers of plague flea defense.
Worldwide 2.Epidemi Great Influenza 1918-1919 = 22000000-40000000 killed
Great influenza epidemic occurs in two waves. First wave begins in 1918; Wave II after the virus has mutated, in the start in the summer of 1918. Specific influenza viruses in 1918-1919 which erupted into a major influenza epidemic, first appeared in February 1918, in San Sebastian, Spain, a small coastal town about thirty miles from the French border.

In the late 1970s in the thought that a prmugara who is gay in the airline known as patient zero who brought AIDS to North America. This man who later died of cancer in 1984 believed to have been infected gay men in ten cities through s ** s are not safe and the disease began to spread quickly in the gay community. While this has become widespread among women and children.

4.Wabah Chinese Famine of 1876 China's northern people were killed from 1876 to 1878 = 9000000-13000000
Outbreaks of this terrible famine was the worst outbreak in the history of China and in fact in the history of the world's gave birth to the phrase portrayal "ten thousand man hole."

There are so many holes to ten thousand people throughout the provinces in northern China during this famine plague broke through to near 13 million in a period of 3 years. Nearly 12,000 people have died within a day. The reason is the drought that set fire to the northern Chinese province of years 1876-1878. Almost inconceivable that this huge area of bias persist for years without rain, but this is what happens in China that began in 1876. In situations of this kind of hunger, crime rose sharply and suicide become the norm occur and continue.

When those who survived tried to overcome this tragedy, the earthquake had caused the collapse of the mountain Tsincheou that are not located not far from there, followed by a parting of the earth so that claimed more victims again. Beginning next month, in 1334, precisely in Canton had a huge flood. Ironically Tche city experienced a very severe drought that led to an epidemic that has claimed the lives of many more. Several months later, the same region was hit by a powerful earthquake that caused the overflow of the mountain collapsed and a giant crater. Thousands of people drowning death dilubang which has formed this earthquake. The following year, the year 1335, in drought-hit areas of Hunan for 5 months to bring an outbreak in its various forms.

As has been witnessed throughout history, people are forced to eat human flesh when the hungry are not overwhelming. Drought is inevitable but disease outbreaks can be suppressed and treated. Unfortunately India is poor country, then the number of victims who died during the period of 5 years is an alarming loss in human life and became an epic about the example of dumb suffering of mankind.

First is the fact that approximately one month earlier, similar reports have been submitted and the storm had been predicted to be small with only a small number of dead. The second reason, this warning is not considered seriously is a lot of people at risk is not heard because they do not have electricity and radio batteries. Therefore, many people are right in dijalur this murderer was in a state do not know fully about the storm that is coming.
After the tragedy occurred, the Pakistani government does not care to give aid than foreign governments.

After the black death plague these, terrain filled with mayat2, houses, villages and cities become desolate and empty. After that there was a scarcity of labor so that their wage increases and many slaves get their freedom. It is said that thousands of human framework used as the basic construction of buildings Chapel Evora in Portugal it is a frame of the victims of plague black death malignancy. Extinction black death largely due to improvements in sanitation, which weakens the ability of carriers of plague flea defense.
Worldwide 2.Epidemi Great Influenza 1918-1919 = 22000000-40000000 killed
Great influenza epidemic occurs in two waves. First wave begins in 1918; Wave II after the virus has mutated, in the start in the summer of 1918. Specific influenza viruses in 1918-1919 which erupted into a major influenza epidemic, first appeared in February 1918, in San Sebastian, Spain, a small coastal town about thirty miles from the French border.
