The 100 year war was somewhere around there. It delayed the Northern Renessaince, well that and the Black Death.

The Black Death was a devastating pandemic that first struck Europe in the mid-14th century (1347–50), killing about a third of Europe's population, an estimated 34 million people. A series of contemporaneous plague epidemics also occurred across large portions of Asia and the Middle East, indicating that the European outbreak was actually part of a multiregional pandemic. The same disease is thought to have returned to Europe every generation with varying degrees of intensity and fatality until the 1700s.\n\nThe most popular version was that it was spread by fleas on rats to humans although this is not universally accepted. It is believed that better sanitation eventually led to the plague no longer returning. No cure was ever found.

It can apply to the Ottoman Empire, but also UK. Ireland, Italy, Germany. I don't know the context you're looking for, so check these sites:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sick_man_of_Europe\nhttp://www.britannica.com/ebi/article-206012\nhttp://observer.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,6903,1113142,00.html

Relax.  The media in the US is making people crazy about bird flu.  The rest of the world isn't concerned. Turn off the tv.

I read that the only people that are really in danger of getting the bird flu, are people that handle chickens on a regular basis, i.e. those people that raise them, and are in close contact with them all the time.  I really don't think it will reach this side of the globe.\n\nOh sorry, I thought you said South America.

Disease is far and away the biggest killer-such as malaria, etc- As far a single disease disaster, it was the Spanish flu in 1915-1918 that killed millions.\nAfter that, it would be famine- over 100 million people have died of famine in the last century.  Following is a list of the worst disasters of the 20th century-those that killed over 500,000 people-you can see they are almost all famine or disease:\n\nChina, 1907: famine (20 million dead)\nWorldwide, 1918: Influenza pandemic (25-100 million dead)\nUkraine, 1921: Famine (5 million dead)\n China, 1928: Famine (3 million dead) \nChina, 1931: Flooding (3.7 million dead) \nUkraine and Russia, 1932: Famine (5 million dead)\n China, 1936: Famine (5 million dead)\nNorth Korea, 1995-98: Famine and floods (3.5 million dead)\nChina, 1969: Famine (20 million dead)\nChina, 1941: Famine (3 million dead) \nBengal, India, 1943: famine (3.5 million dead) \nWorldwide, 1957: Influenza pandemic (about four million dead) \nChina, 1958-61: Famine (38 million dead) \n India, 1965: Famine (1.5 million dead) \nWorldwide, 1968: Influenza pandemic (about 750,000 dead) \n Bangladesh, 1970: Sea flood (200-500,000 dead) \n Tangshan, China, 1976: 8.0 earthquake (750,000 dead) \nEthiopia, 1984: Famine (900,000 dead)

Does it HAVE a historical impact??? It's an illness, just like any other. You could say, measles and its historical impact on society, or asthma and its historical impact on society. What is the question?\nI think a more pertinent question might be MG and its impact on the sufferer? - but I guess that would be boring for non-sufferers!!

I think you'd find better information about the disease-fighting efforts in other countries by checking the World Health Organization's website:\n\nhttp://www.who.int

The flu epidemic you are talking about killed some 6 million people throughout the world (most figures are given for European Countries as there were no records for Africa etc.)  But the death toll was nearly equal to the casualties by all sides in WW1.\n\nThe oddity of this outbreak was that it seemed to affect the fit and healthy rather than the v. young and elederly.  A figure that springs to mind is that some American units suffered 80% fatalities from the flu. Have a look at the web site for more information.
