A Timeline of theDeadliest Pandemicsin History
Smallpox
Cholera
**Smallpox is most often associated with the 16th century, when it decimated the native population of Mexico. However, it resulted in the most casualties during the last 100 years of its existence. Between 1877 and 1977, smallpox was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 500,000,000 people.
***Like smallpox and the Bubonic Plague, cholera also struck in waves. There were seven major pandemics between 1817 and 1975.

Quarantine was invented during the Black Plague. Sailors would not leave their
ships for 40 days to avoid spreading the illness; the
word comes from the Italian word for 40,
“quaranta.”
*The Great Plagues consisted of around 40 resurgences of the
bubonic plague, primarily in London.
The bacteria Yersinia pestis was
responsible for:
The Plague of Justinian
The Bubonic Plague
The Great Plagues
