Just consider everything we've survived so far.

And today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 worst epidemics in history.

For this list, we're looking at the deadliest and most significant outbreaks of contagious disease throughout human history.

Number 20 the 2009 flu pandemic, or H one N.

Though people tend to forget now that it's largely in the rear view mirror, each one and one caused major panic in 2009.

Also known as the swine flu, it was actually a hybrid of a human flu virus paired with those of birds and two different pig blues.

This unholy reassortment went on to infect somewhere between 700 million and 1.4 billion.

Ality rate was relatively low compared to other epidemics on our list today, but nonetheless because of how widespread it became, each one and one still went on to claim hundreds of thousands of lives.

It's become one of the many strains that make up the flu.

When talking about epidemics dating back more than a millennium, the figures get murky.

So while we can't say with certainty exactly how many lives were claimed by the plague of Shiro, we can talk about its legality when it washed over the Western sustain Ian Empire.

It's said to have killed roughly 50% of the population.

The second show the ruler of the sustain Ian Empire.

And so the plague was named after him becoming a major part of his rather unflattering legacy.

Ironically, the plane was brought home to Shiro by his troops, who were carrying out campaigns abroad.

An indirect result of the sustain Ian Empires.

Attempts to expand the plague of Shiro actually played a crucial role in its fall Number 18 the Italian plague of 16 29 to 16 31.

When discussing the bubonic plague, we typically think of that one major outbreak, which will be getting two later.

But what many people don't know is that this deadly bacteria, Yersinia pestis, has been tormenting humanity for centuries in fact there was an outbreak is recently is 1994.

Among the most notable such epidemics from history is the one that struck Italy in the early 17th century, hitting central and northern Italy hardest.

It's thought to have claimed anywhere between 280,000 to 1 million lives.

It's estimated that 46% of its population fell to the disease.

As such, it's also often referred to as the great plague of Milan number 17 the sixth cholera pandemic.

Like the bubonic plague, cholera is one of those infections that just refuses to quit beginning in 18 99 the sixth cholera pandemic.

Yes, you heard that right 6th 1st broke out in India before spreading across North Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

Russia was among the nations hit hardest, with the death toll reaching an estimated 500,000 victims.

Western Europe was largely unaffected, but it did spread, eventually reaching the United States in 1910 where a minor outbreak occurred, though the fatalities were low.

Unfortunately, the Philippines and India weren't so lucky, losing an estimated 200,000 and 800,000 people, respectively.

1/7 cholera pandemic has since occurred, but mortality rates were eventually curbed, thanks to modern medicine and better planning.

Number 16 the Japanese smallpox epidemic.

Like the plague of Shiro, this epidemic stuff told us hard to quantify due to the limited data available.

But again, like with the sustain Ian Empire, we do have an estimate of its legality.

In the case of this particular smallpox epidemic, it would appear that one in every three people living in Japan at the time died.

As more recent outbreaks have taught US increased global mobility goes hand in hand with outbreaks.

And this particularly devastating pandemic was the result of Japan establishing greater back and forth with the Asian mainland.

Though it claimed lives at all levels of society, farming communities were hit especially hard.

As a result, the government had to encourage a redistribution of the population to help agricultural recovery.

This outbreak began in Hong Kong, thus the name, but it quickly spread across the world.

An H three and two type influenza, the 1968 flu pandemic first made its way throughout Southeast Asia, with major outbreaks occurring in Vietnam and the Philippines.

Before the year was out, it had jumped to Australia, the United States in various places in Europe by 1969.

Japan and various countries in both South America and Africa were also reporting cases.

These two years made up the peak of this particular pandemic, but it did continue to circulate into the early seventies.

By the time it had run its course, the 1968 flu pandemic had killed 100,000 people in the U.

The unlucky victims of this disease suffered through hellish final days with diarrhea, vomiting and resulting dehydration being the main symptoms.

Without realising, women carried Kohler home in the water with the most deaths of any 19th century epidemic.

The third cholera pandemic began in India and spread across Asia, Europe, North America and Africa to countries like Russia, where over one million people died.

However, it took an outbreak of this severity for the cause of cholera to be found in 18 54.

British doctor Jon Snow discovered the tainted water was to blame and it was this breakthrough that eventually allowed officials to get control of the cholera pandemic.

The 18 89 flu pandemic flu season might be a part of our regular lives, but it just takes one particularly contagious and or lethal strain to make us really appreciate how serious a threat and influenza compose.

This epidemic initially ran its course over the span of two calendar years, 18 89 to 18 90 but reared its ugly head again in subsequent flu seasons.

For the next half decade or so, thanks to the railroad systems across Europe and transatlantic shipping and travel, the epidemic became a pandemic, spreading too much of the world and claiming one million lives because of the limitations of scientific research at the time, we're not sure which specific subtype of influenza it waas, but the leading theory is H three and eight, best known today as dog flu number 12.

The Great Encephalitis lethargic a pandemic also known simply as the sleeping sickness.

This is a unique form of encephalitis, and more than simply making people feel sleepy, this unnerve ING condition leaves victims in what's been described as a zombie like state.

The encephalitis affects the brain and In addition to a number of flu like symptoms, including fever and sore throat, it also results in decreased mental and physical responsiveness.

In some cases, people become almost completely devoid of activity, including speech drawing comparisons to living statues.

Between 1915 and 1926 it's thought to have affected roughly five million people.

The disease claimed the lives of approximately 1.5 1,000,000 while the vast majority of survivors went on to experience various debilitating health issues.

Number 11 the 17 72 Persian plague, the bubonic plague strikes again, one of the most deadly such outbreaks in human history.

The Persian plague epidemic of 17 72 claimed approximately two million lives.

At its peak, the epidemic, which originated in the city of Baghdad, brought life in the Persian Empire to a screeching halt, with thousands of people dying day after day.

Thankfully, quarantine measures put in place by the Persian Empire proved effective, and the situation came under control in 17 73.

Unfortunately, this approach proved too little, too late for the city of Basra, which lost 250,000 residents before the plague came to an end Number 10 the Asian flu pandemic of 1957.

Though it can be confirmed that this outbreak of the influence of a virus started in China, the exact origin of the virus is contested, with one popular theory suggesting that a mutation in wild ducks joined together with a typical human strain to create the new disease.

One of three flu pandemics during the 20th century, this one was the least deadly, with estimated global death figures ranging between one and four million.

And that's likely due to the fact that a vaccine was created in 1957 that help stem the rash of infections from this avian flu.

The World War One Typhus Epidemic Taking place during a time of incredible strife This typhus outbreak was another devastating result of World War, a disease caused by bacteria whose symptoms include severe back pain and delirium.

This particular outbreak originated with lice.

It was for this reason that de lousing stations for soldiers have been set up on the Western front, which helped keep those troops healthy.

However, the Eastern Front was not so lucky.

By the time of its peak between 25 30 million cases were reported across Soviet regions, with three million Russians and even more Poles and Romanians dying from infection.

Number eight, the 15 20 smallpox epidemic Colonization of the Americas was devastating for the pre Columbian civilizations in a number of ways.

But the most unexpected and hardest to combat was the influx of new diseases.

It wouldn't be the last epidemic to ravage the Aztec empire, but smallpox laid the foundations of its destruction.

When the Spanish Conquistadors brought the disease around 15 20 then unknown in the New World, smallpox spread like wildfire due to the lack of local immunities.

Teno shit lan, the largest pre Columbian city, was hit especially hard.

Even its leader, the newly crowned quit Loic, fell to the illness.

This biological warfare, the likely unintentional played a major role in two noted lands fall to infamous conquistador Hernan Cortes.

It's estimated that this epidemic ultimately claimed between five and eight million lives.

Number seven, the anti nine plague, the earliest pandemic on this list, This scourge came to the Roman Empire by way of soldiers returning from fighting in Western Asia.

However, what form it took is up for debate, with some thinking smallpox or measles were to blame, though it wasn't as deadly as Justinian, with only 2000 dying in Rome per day at its pinnacle and likely five million succumbing to the disease in total.

The fact that it likely claimed the lives of two Roman emperors, Lucious Harris and Marcus Aurelius and nine s served to plunge the land into fear and chaos and likely changed the course of history.
