The 20th Century Witnessed The Most Devastating Famines Ever
Famine is an extreme shortage of food over a prolonged period of time, which results in
widespread hunger and death. Famines can be either natural or man-made. Natural famines occur
as a result of the weather, plant diseases and pests. There are many different weather conditions
that cause famines including drought and too much rain including flooding. Man made causes
include war, poor governmental decisions and purposeful acts of government to starve its
population or portions of it.
According to World Book encyclopedia: “Throughout history, famine has struck at least
one area of the world every few years.” But “[t]he last 120 years have witnessed the most
devastating famines in the age of man.”

While the twentieth century should have seen a drastic decrease in famine and hunger
related deaths because of technological advances in the production and harvesting of food this
did not occur. There is simply one reason this has not occurred and it is because of the actions of
evil men. Decisions of brutal dictatorial governments and war were the most significant causes
of famine, hunger and hunger related deaths in the twentieth century beginning with the USSR in
1917, the very year of the Balfour Declaration.

Bangladesh.

Declaration as many as 25.3 million people died in ten major famines. Within forty-four years, as
many as 52.3 people had died in eleven major famines, nine of these famines were the result of
the actions of man. Listed below are the major famines that occurred since 1917:
