Sorry, but there were more deaths in WWII than WWI. Neither one is the right answer by the way.

So far there are no right answers which means the choices are getting closer and it shouldn`t be long before someone hits it.

Waterbearer63: Those are high numbers of deaths ordered but as I stated in an earlier post to someone, WWI,WWII are not the right answer and if you check the votes results, none of those are right either.Only four options are left: Floods/Tsunamis,Volcanoes, Spanish Inquisition or Terrorist acts.



the Tsunami that came from Indeonesia caused a lot of people to die

That`s true, it did. Now we`re down to three. Volcanoes,Spanish inquisition or Terrorist acts.

There are three choices left: Volcanoes, Spanish Inquisition, or Terrorist Acts.Consider carefully the number of people killed in the 9/11 attacks,some 3000 people(my apologies if this number isn`t accurate).How about the Spanish Inquisition?.How many killed in that fiasco?.When you consider the choices left, the answer should jump of the page at you.

rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing Good one. Considering some of the absolutely stupid things that Humans do, you`d think that would be it. But if you look at the three choices that are left that I stated in my previous post and you realize which one of them has been around the longest in history, the answer will jump out at you.

Sorry. As terrible as they are, of three choices that were left, Terrorist acts actually account for the least number of deaths. We`re down to two: Spanish Inquisition or Volcanic eruptions in populated areas.Which one has a longer history?.

Waterbearer63: I know the answer, do you?.

Obviously this question stumped a lot of people. The answer is: Volcanoes. This surprised me when I found out on a survey several years ago. Throughout the history of Humankind(some 40,000 years +) and because so many people lived in close proximity to a volcano, volcanic eruptions have claimed more lives than every war ever fought, other natural disasters and the other choices I listed combined.We hear about volcanoes killing thousands periodically but one never seems to realize that they are the deadliest killer on Earth.When I first answered the question in the original survey, my guess was WWII. Volcanoes never even came to mind.

Volcanoes? Are you sure?

I'd like to see a link, because wars and disasters mean the death for some persons, but diseases is what usually cause that people dies worldwide.

As I stated, volcanoes was the answer given in the survey I answered. It wasn`t on the internet but in a magazine so I don`t have a link to give you.
