hunger in Greece, Poland and the U.S.S.R.

In 1945, at the end of World War II, there was famine in Germany. The famine
conditions were made worse by the expulsion of 15 million ethnic German residents of
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Yugoslavia to West Germany. The total
death toll is unknown but one report estimated that the death toll in Berlin was 61 per
1,000 in the first month of Allied occupation. That’s six percent of the population in one
month.
1976
Population statistics show that the population declined by 860,000 between
1945 and 1946 but if you take into account that the growth rate of Germany’s population
was near one percent and that there was an influx of Germans from eastern European
countries the death toll was probably much higher, probably more than 2 million.

million in ten years. Twenty-five percent of children in the developing world will die before the
age of five from disease related to malnutrition.

world continues to climb. “In 1989, 550 million people were too undernourished to ‘sustain an
active, healthy life,’ according to the World Food Council.”

The 20th Century Saw Some Of The Worst Plagues On Record
Pestilence or plague is a contagious or infectious epidemic disease that is exceptionally
dangerous and devastating, usually associated with a high mortality rate. Excluding the biblical
plagues, the first recorded plagues occurred in Europe beginning in 541 A.D. This plague is
known as Justinian’s plague and is believed have been the bubonic plague (Black Death). It is
estimated to have killed 20 to 25 percent of the entire population of Europe.
