Throughout the ages, wars have continued and wars will bleed. Although the death rate of war is high, it is not as harmful to human beings as disease and famine. And the collapse of many dynasties was famine? Add fuel to the fire? .

For example, at the end of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, groups of people living in poverty, such as Zhang, Zhang, Li Zicheng, etc., were caused by accumulated abuses and corruption over 200 years.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, under the repression of Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Yang Sichang and other famous soldiers, the situation of the insurgents was excellent. Only a dozen people in Li Zicheng drilled into the canyon, died and surrendered. Emperor Chongzhen intends to deal with Tai Chi that Jiang Shan Huang and Daming have coveted for a long time after the domestic rebellion is put down. If there is no Cheng Xiang, we will encounter a once-in-a-century famine, which will spread all over the country. Li Zicheng, with no future, ushered in an era of displaying its talents, which led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, successive years of drought and plague spread, which led to the turmoil of the Eastern Han Dynasty and a sharp decline in population.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty perished, the Eastern Han Dynasty declined, and famine was behind the scenes, so there was an uprising, and with an uprising, there was a war. Only war could kill so many people.

For example, in Europe in the14th century, the Black Death caused more than 20 million deaths. Decades later, the Black Death broke out again, this time more serious than last time, causing 50 million casualties.

There are too many such examples. Fortunately, in today's world, the power of science and technology is minimizing the ruthless swallowing of human beings by famine. In ancient times, natural and man-made disasters such as Wenchuan earthquake, this year's flood and pneumonia in COVID-19 were resigned to fate. However, with the new China and strong scientific and technological strength, we finally defeated them, and the days when we were helpless in the face of the famine in China are gone forever.

Therefore, the author thinks that famine is the largest number of deaths in history.

People will ask, isn't war the key to killing people? But in fact, war is controllable, but natural disasters, diseases, viruses and plagues are uncontrollable. As long as it is polluted and there is no perfect and safe medical care, human beings can only resign themselves to fate.
