COVID-19: Know when and how the crisis in the world changed the world and its thinking

Diseases and epidemics have played a big role in human history. After every pandemic, a new sun comes out and human civilization grows on new paths. At the time of outbreak of Corona virus, we should proceed with this expectation and patience. Epidemics have affected our present and Kovid-19 is worrying about our future. However, one should learn from his past on this occasion. Where we encountered many such epidemics. There are five such epidemics that change the world.

Plague

The fifth and sixth decade of the fourteenth century in Europe was a difficult time for Europe. When about a third of the population here was destroyed due to the plague. Due to this, there was a shortage of farmers working in the fields and the feudal system disintegrated. The dependence of the zamindars to work here to fill the revenue was reduced and gradually they started getting free from the captivity of the landlords. This led to the practice of wages and made an unprecedented contribution to the development of Europe. Due to this, the business and cash based system got a boost. At the same time, it became expensive to pay the workers and then started to search for new destinations through sea voyages. It later promoted colonialism.

Chicken pox

European countries colonized the American continents in the late fifteenth century. Large-scale people were killed, resulting in climate change. According to Britain's University College of London, at that time the population of America was 60 million and it was ten percent of the total population of the world. It has come down to 60 lakhs. These diseases reached there with the establishment of a European colony in America. These include measles, cholera, malaria, plague, whooping cough and typhus along with smallpox. The lack of population in America led to reduced cultivation and large areas to become pastures and forests. This area is 5 lakh 60 thousand square kilometers which is the size of Kenya or France. Due to this, the level of carbon dioxide came down and the temperature of the earth decreased. Due to greenery, the world returned to a miniature ice age.

Yellow fever

Slaves rebelled against European colonial forces in Haiti in 1801, and as a result Tussainte Lovartur became the ruler of France. Whereas in France, Napoleon declared himself to be the ruler of the country for a lifetime and thought of occupying Haiti. He sent thousands of soldiers to fight but could not fight Yellow Fever. It is estimated that about 50 thousand soldiers were killed and only 3 thousand could survive. Later millions of square kilometers of area were sold to the US government. The United States of America doubled with the acquisition of Louisiana Purchase.

Animal epidemic

To increase the empire of European countries, a large number of animals died due to disease spread in Africa. The virus, named Rinderpest, killed 90 percent of domesticated animals between 1888 and 1897. Due to this, people in large areas of Africa died of starvation. Due to the death of bulls, there was a crisis on farming. Which gave European countries a chance to colonize. However, the plan to colonize had already been made. The 14 countries decided which part of Africa would rule. By 1900, the colonial forces had occupied 90 per cent.

The fall of the Ming dynasty

The Ming Dynasty of China held power for nearly three centuries. However the plague led to the collapse of this dynasty. In 1641, plague-like epidemics in northern China killed a large number of people. In some places the population was reduced from 20 to 40 percent. Due to this, people started eating the dying people. The crisis began with the simultaneous spread of diseases such as malaria and plague. It is expected that these diseases may have come with the invaders in China. Later the Qing dynasty of Manchuria collectively attacked China and the Ming dynasty came to an end. However, there were reasons such as drought and corruption for the Ming dynasty to come to power.
