There have been an incredible number of wars, genocides, conquests and natural disasters that have killed a staggering number of people throughout human history. Conquests and genocides can often be accompanied by disease and starvation and number of fatalities can be difficult to ascertain. There have been many acts of genocide that have killed a significant portion of a particular population, and hardly a people group that doesn’t have events of massive bloodshed in their history.
In this video we are going to look at a few of the largest losses of life in human history according to estimated number of dead, either as a direct or indirect outcome of the event. Estimates vary widely and what we present is open to debate, and we are only presenting what is commonly reported.
