There are so many plagues, what are the plagues in human history?

01, Black Death

We have to mention the Black Death, which was one of the deadliest plagues in human history. The Black Death is thought to be caused by bacteria bitten by rat fleas. It began in Central Asia in the twenties and thirties of the 14th century, and later spread to other countries, causing 72 million deaths worldwide.

Its symptoms are that there will be a lot of dark spots, high fever, severe blood poisoning symptoms on the patient's **, and it is highly contagious.

02.The Great Plague of Athens

The Plague of Yasda is the most well-documented catastrophic event in history. Athens and Sparta were engaged in a fierce war for control of Greece, and the year after the war, the Athenian plague crept in and lasted for three years. To this day, no one knows the cause of origin, only that it was probably imported from Africa via the ** route, and the patient had a high fever, his throat and tongue were filled with blood, and he emitted a suffocating stench.

War prolonged the plague. After the defeat, Athens directly lost its hegemony and found it difficult to regain its former glory.

03.Smallpox

One of the oldest and deadliest infectious diseases. Smallpox caused huge losses to the country during the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, but we are talking about man-made smallpox in 1763 when the British colonists invaded Canada. The notorious Colonel Henry Boquet deliberately gave smallpox items to the local Indians, nearly exterminating the Indians.

Smallpox has a long history, and there is no cure for it except for injections for prevention. Common patients suffer from chills, high fever, and aches in the limbs and lower back.

04.Dengue fever

Dengue fever is an acute infectious disease transmitted by the Aedes mosquito. It was first discovered in Cairo, Egypt, Jakarta, Indonesia, and Philadelphia, USA, in 1779, and has since occurred many times in countries around the world, with tens of thousands of cases, and is now endemic in the tropics. It originates from Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, and patients often suffer from sudden high temperatures, exertion, muscle aches, etc.

1. The Black Death (1347-1351) The Black Death was one of the deadliest plagues in human history. The Black Death killed 75 million people worldwide, including 25 million to 50 million in Europe.

2. The Third Plague Pandemic (1885-1950) 3. The Plague of Justinian (541-542).

4. The Great Plague of London (1665-1666).

5. The Plague of America (16th century).

6. The Great Plague of Milan (1629-1631).

7. The Black Death in Moscow (1971).

8. Athenian plague (430 BC 427 BC).

9. The "Antonine Plague" in Ancient Rome (164-180 AD) 10. The Great Plague of Marseille (1720-1722).

Plagues such as smallpox, plague, SARS and influenza have been encountered by human beings, and human life is so fragile, but it is very strong.

The plagues in human history, of course, include influenza viruses, swine flu, avian influenza in birds, pneumonia some time ago, and SARS in the past.

The top 10 plagues in human history are:Smallpox, influenza, tuberculosis, plague, cholera, malaria, typhus, yellow fever, AIDS, SARS。The harm caused by such epidemic plagues to mankind, the course of the struggle against them, the costs paid, and the experiences, lessons and lessons learned from them are analysed.

In addition, "The Ten Plagues in Human History" was published by Golden Shield Publishing House in 2003, and the author was She Zhichao and others. The book also introduces some allusions and many historical facts, which are very informative and readable, and can be read by people from all walks of life. Plague is a malignant infectious disease that cannot be controlled.

The whole history of mankind is the history of the fight against the plague. With the current level of human technology, it can be said that human beings can control most of the plagues that have occurred in history. But sometimes there are new outbreaks of infectious diseases.

I know that there is the plague of Athens, the plague of Antony in ancient Rome, the plague of Justinian, the Black Death, the plague of the Americas, the plague of Milan, etc., and these plagues have a relatively large impact on the world.

These 10 very large plagues are, the plague of Athens, the plague of Antony in ancient Rome, the plague of Justinian, the Black Death, the plague of the Americas, the plague of Milan, the plague of London, the plague of Marseille, the Black Death in Moscow, and the third plague pandemic.

I know about the Black Death, the bubonic plague, the Great Plague of London, the American plague, the Roman plague, the Great Plague of Marseille, and the others I don't know very well.

I know all of these plagues, and they have also changed the history of mankind, and they have had a very significant impact on the history of mankind, and they have also seriously affected people's lives.

I have learned about some of the plagues, and I have also known the number of deaths, and these 10 plagues are very powerful and will have different effects.

Historically, plague refers to an acute and contagious disease caused by infection by viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens.

Plague has a high incidence of diseases and can spread in a certain region, country, or even the world, such as SARS, plague, smallpox, cholera, malaria, etc., and the ** and ** methods of plague will appear different depending on the type of disease.

History of the plague

The plague is not a dispensable piece of history. It determines the direction of a strong country, the survival of a long-standing civilization, and the ownership of an entire region and even the world's hegemony. Looking back on the past, almost every major plague has been accompanied by countless ups and downs, and it indicates that a new pattern is about to emerge.

Rummaging through the yellowed words in the pile of old papers may help us clear our minds and make humility, prudence, and tenacity become loyal partners in the fight against the epidemic.

As early as the 13th century B.C., ancient civilizations such as Babylon and Mesopotamia experienced large-scale epidemics similar to influenza, and these ancient texts may be regarded as the first record of plague in human history.

1. Athenian plague:

In 430-427 BC, the Great Plague struck Athens, killing nearly half of the population and almost destroying the entire Athens.

Some experts believe that this plague is the plague. Symptoms include high fever, thirst, congestion of the throat and tongue, redness and swelling of lesions, etc.

When the plague broke out, during the Second Peloponnesian War, the Athenians invested a lot of manpower and material resources in military operations, and did not seriously prevent and control the spread of the disease, which led to tragedy.

2. Ancient Rome "Antonine Plague":

Between 164 and 180 A.D., Roman soldiers returned from war, bringing smallpox and measles, which spread to the people of Antony.

At that time, an average of 2,000 people died of disease in Rome every day, and even the Roman emperors were not spared, Verus the Great and Antony the Great were infected and died.

According to the history books, the symptoms of this infectious disease are: severe diarrhea, vomiting, sore throat, sore throat, ulceration of hands and feet, high fever, severe thirst, and suppuration.

The plague lasted for more than ten years, causing Rome to lose nearly 5 million people, and the army was incapacitated, which eventually led to the end of the "** era" of the Roman Empire.

3. The Great Plague of Jian'an

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, from the ninth year of Jian'an to the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, the plague was prevalent in the Central Plains.

Zhang Zhongjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty said in the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" that "the Yu clan has many Su, more than 200, since Jian'an, it has not been ten years, two-thirds of its dead, and typhoid fever is seven out of ten." In particular, in the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), there were many deaths. Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi recalled:

In the past, there were many plagues and deaths." He also said, "There are many plagues, and the scholars are falling."

At that time, in the Central Plains, "every family had the pain of lying in wait for the corpse, and there was the sound of crying in the room, or the door was closed and died, or the family was mourned."

4. The Plague of Justinian

The first large-scale outbreak of plague in the Mediterranean world in 541-542 AD. It began in Egypt and spread rapidly to Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, and beyond. At its worst, tens of thousands of people died in a single day.

The plague continued to ravage for half a century, wiping out a quarter of the Roman population, causing famine and civil strife that caused the Eastern Roman Empire to collapse.

5. Black Death

The Black Death was one of the deadliest plagues in human history. Named after the iconic black spots that grow all over the patient's body, it is a virulent infectious disease with a ** rate of basically 0.

Between 1348 and 1350, 25 million Europeans died from the Black Death. Forty years later, the plague broke out again, killing an estimated 75 million people worldwide.
