The two major reasons for death in the whole world are hunger and unclean drinking water, which cause diarrhea and dehydration which make people vulnerable to a whole host of diseases that kill.
THE 1918 INFLUENZA PANDEMIC
AKA: Spanish flu/Influenza, A virus subtype H1N1
First spotted in an Army hospital in Kansas on March 4, 1918, this incredibly virulent flu strain appeared around the world by late summer; the true extent of the threat became apparent when it ravaged Spain, giving it its popular name. Spread by troop movements during the still-raging World War I, it killed more than double the number of people slain in that conflict, including 675,000 in America alone-a higher death toll than that of all the United States' 20th century wars combined, before disappearing.
THE DEATH TOLL: approx. 50-100 million
