Chronology of historical plague
There are many serious plagues in the history of the world, each of which is disastrous. Most of these plagues are caused by people's own actions, and they really deserve it.

Therefore, in any case, people should live in harmony with nature. Only a win-win situation will lead to mutual destruction. I hope everyone can take a warning!

Let's take a look at eight serious plagues in human history, each of which is disastrous and terrible.

1, Justinian plague

In 54 1-542, the first recorded plague broke out in Justinian, located in the Mediterranean. The disaster was extremely destructive, infecting 5,000 to 7,000 people in one day, and finally about 10000 people died in the plague in Justinian.

2. The plague in Athens

From 430 to 427 BC, a serious plague broke out in Athens. Because human medical technology was relatively backward at that time, half of the residents in Athens died, which almost destroyed the city of Athens.

3. Anthony plague

From 164 to 180, a huge "Antony plague" broke out in ancient Rome, mainly caused by infection. Historians at that time recorded the symptoms of this infectious disease. All infected people have symptoms such as high fever, sore throat, vomiting, severe diarrhea and ulceration of hands and feet. In severe cases, gangrene grows on the skin, and then the patient will feel very thirsty, and pus will flow from the ulcerated skin. In the end, the great plague killed about 500 million people.

4. Black Death

The Black Death occurred between 1347- 135 1, which is said to be one of the deadliest plagues in human history. Because the death rate of the Black Death was extremely high, and there were no effective treatments and drugs at that time, the infection spread widely. In Europe alone, 25 million to 50 million people died of infection. And the whole black death plague came down, and a total of 75 million people died of it all over the world.

Not only that, the Black Death also contributed to the emergence of the dark Middle Ages.

5. Marseille plague

In A.D. 1720, Marseille, France was ravaged by plague, which infected Marseille and its surrounding cities and villages, resulting in100000 deaths.

6. The plague in Milan

From 1629 to 163 1 year, a large-scale plague "Milan plague" broke out in Milan, Italy. During this period, most residents of famous cities such as Venice and Lombardy were infected, and eventually about 280 thousand people died.

7. The Great American Plague

/kloc-In the 6th century, there were about 5 million aborigines in America, and a great plague broke out here, resulting in the death of nearly 5 million aborigines. Therefore, this plague in history has also been called "the greatest genocide of mankind" by scholars.

8. Russian plague

At the end of 1770, a plague broke out in Moscow, the Russian capital, and it developed into an epidemic when the spring of 177 1 came. At that time, the Russian government vigorously promoted various measures, such as establishing isolation zones, burning infected items, prohibiting people from going out and closing public places.

Because the plague caused people to panic, Moscow fell into chaos, all kinds of materials were in short supply, the economic system collapsed, all shops in the street were forced to close, and everyone complained and suffered heavy casualties.

9. Plague

1855, a large-scale plague broke out in Yunnan, China. Patients from Yunnan quickly spread to Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Fuzhou, Fujian, Xiamen and other cities. Due to the large number of infected people and backward medical technology, plague caused nearly100000 deaths in China. In addition, the total number of plague deaths in India and China is about120,000, which is unprecedented.

10, 19 18 epidemic influenza
