What is the thing that has killed the most people in history?

Throughout the ages, wars have been raging and wars will bleed. Although the mortality rate of war is high, it is less harmful to mankind than disease and famine. Moreover, the fall of many dynasties was "adding fuel to the fire" of famine.

For example, in the last years of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, due to the shortcomings and corruption accumulated for more than 200 years, people living in poverty rose one after another, such as Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, etc.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, under the suppression of famous generals such as Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Yang Sichang, etc., the situation of the rebel army was very good. Li Zicheng, only a dozen people were left to drill the canyon, Gao Yingxiang died, and Zhang Xianzhong surrendered. Emperor Chongzhen planned to deal with the long-coveted Taiji in Jiangshan Emperor after the rebellion in the country was put down.

Without Cheng Xiang, we would have encountered a once-in-a-century famine, and famine spread all over the country. Li Zicheng, who had no future, ushered in an era of displaying his talents, which led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, drought and plague were rampant for many years, which led to turmoil in the Eastern Han Dynasty and a sharp decline in population.

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

In Europe in the 14th century, for example, the Black Death killed more than 20 million people. Decades later, the Black Death broke out again, worse than the last time, killing 50 million people**.

There are too many such examples. Fortunately, in today's world, the power of technology is minimizing the relentless devouring of humanity by famine. In ancient times, natural and man-made disasters such as Wenchuan**, this year's floods and new crown pneumonia pneumonia can only be left to fate.

However, with the new China and the powerful scientific and technological forces, we all defeated them in the end, and the days when we were helpless in the face of the Chinese famine are gone.

Therefore, the author believes that the highest number of deaths in history was famine.

Isn't war the key to killing people, you ask? But in fact, war is controllable, but natural disasters, diseases, viruses, and plague are uncontrollable, as long as they are contaminated, without perfect and safe medical treatment, human beings can only resign themselves to fate.

I think it should be the virus, from ancient times to the present, in the period when the virus is raging, there are always the most casualties, and the virus has caused far more deaths than wars.

The thing that kills the most people in history is war, which will cause a large number of military and civilian **, decline in national strength, and cause great damage.

I think the thing that has killed people the most in history is greed, and a lot of things happen after people have developed greed. Some people who were greedy to be emperors chose to rebel, resulting in the death of a large number of innocent civilians; Those who are greedy continue to exploit the people, resulting in poor livelihood and piles of refugees.

It may be the struggle for the throne, because the feudal society attaches great importance to the dignity of status, so some people do not hesitate to work the people and lose money, start wars, so as to complete the transformation of status.
