回答 (7)
One could reasonably argue that he 20th century was the deadliest one in terms of the greatest number of people killed by other people.
In documented history, The 20th by far. Between 2 world wars, the spanish flu spread from the trenches around the world and doubled the WW1 deathtoll.
in terms of percentage of populace the great plague 1665-6 probably took more, and combined with conquest of the Americas the 17th is a contender. Despite the much higher post-industrial population.
Most historians cite the 20th century as being the deadliest with about 175,000,000 dying through war and civil strife. This figure does not include the number if people who died through famine or disease eg 18 million died worldwide of the Spanish Flu pandemic immediately after WWI.
In terms of just numbrrs,the 20th century.
In terms of percentage of the population dying,the 14th century - Europe had the Black Death,the Hundred Years War and the Free Companies pillaging their way across the countryside.Further east,Timur the Great is estimated by some historians to have killed somewhere between 5% and 10% of the total world population at the time in the course of conquering and ruling his empire.
As a percentage of population the thirty years war - about 30% lost; for death headcount the 19th century (boxer, civil war and taiping risings in china)
Are you thinking 'war' or 'disease' or 'natural calamities' like volcanoes?
14th Century. Black Plague.
