    If we can learn anything from history's worst years is that death takes no sides, it affects all people equally, indifferent of status, wealth, class, belief, ethnicity, skin color, or age. While many people cite 2020 as the worst year in living memory, years such as the great depression (1920s-1930s), 1520 (small box ravaged the aztecs), the spanish flu (1918-1920), the black plague (1348), and other events show that the world has been through alot worse.

He thankfully did survive and has made great strides since, but he’s still not 100% and we had to get used to this new normal… the best thing that came out of that year was in February. My great niece was born. She is such a happy baby…❤

    Worst Years To Survive.
    1929. The most harshest economy going out of control. I witnessed the 2007-2008 Financial Crisis. I was technically a Zillennial. I'm a actually a Millennial and Generation Z hybrid type. I find the economy as mid. Not good, not bad. I found tax loophole shelter as legal. For those who aren't into the IRS. I believe this can be justified for anyone who don't have jobs, or cannot pay taxes. The Financial Crisis doesn't even come close to The Great Depression from 1929.
    1992. The state of California had witnessed the 1992 Riots, and the sad destruction of Korea Town.
    And 2020. The Covid-19 Pandemic happened. I still find 2020 fresh in my mind. That's all I said.

The bubonic plague, Spanish flu, and more recently COVID... not to mention smaller scale epidemics like AIDS or Ebola.

    Now that I think of it…the 21st century isn’t off to a much better start than the 20th. 2001: 9/11. 2008: Global economic collapse. 2020: Covid. Currently: Russia invading Ukraine, hyperinflation.

    3:11 I would like to mention that the famine from Stalin’s policies really hit Ukrainians hardest. Not to mention, that was actually part of Stalin’s plan to commit genocide against them in what is now called the Holodomor-“Death by Starvation.” The death toll was so high that morticians and pathologists were forbidden from entering anything that could be synonymous with “starvation” and “malnutrition” for the cause of death. Just thought that I would put that in ☺️

    • @themastermind5638
      @themastermind5638 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Well if you dig deeper, the "not so deadly covid pandemic" had more to it. Why?? Cause it affected you in one way or another. You either lost your job, was laid off, got sick yourself, knew someone that died from it, etc. Plus, it was a worldwide thing, not just a 1 location thing like the Irish Potato Famine which was just in Ireland. I do agree though, that the Chicken Pox could have been included on this list.

    • @nicholasharvey1232

      Both the potato famine in Ireland and later famines in India are believe to have been deliberate acts by the British to effectively starve their subjects into submission.

    I never got COVID-19 - at least, I never showed any sort of symptoms during the pandemic, but everybody else who lives in my house except for my dog, Lady, and my 2 cats, Aldos and Sabrina, eventually did get it - but only in 2022. My parents then got it again in 2024.
    But it’s OK, because 2021 was the best year of my life.

    Can you imagine the poor people in 1918? Like they’ve just been at war for the past FOUR YEARS. And that war was one of if not the deadliest war that had ever happened at that point. So you finally have the war end and then BOOM! The Spanish Flu hits and everyone who didn’t die in the war dies from the flu

    Yeah, what tough years to be alive. However, 2020 was nothing compared to the other years. At least we know how to take care of ourselves now, with washing our hands and wearing masks in the nose and mouth. In the past it was all catastrophic. So many of us survived 2020, and it proves how we can survive anything. A similar event to the year without a summer now would be easier, due to this fast transportation and advanced technology. I'm so glad to not have lived in the years prior to 2020 here.

    536ad wasn't anything to do with Iceland. 9:38 That's Java and Sumatra, where they now believe "Ancient Krakatoa" erupted in that year. Supposedly it was far larger and more powerful than even the one that erupted in the 19th Century, so much so that it not only created climate change around the world, but it actually created what's now the Sundra Strait. Before the eruption, both Java and Sumatra were one big island, but the eruption of Ancient Krakatoa caused the island to be broken in two!
