1931’s China Floods: 3.7 Million Deaths
On August 18, 1931, swollen from heavy rains and the previous winter’s melted snow, the Yangtze River finally peaked, part of a series of major floods in China. The rising waters of the Yangtze, as well as the Yellow and Huai rivers, had already been a problem since July and would continue to extract a brutal toll for months to come. The severe flooding was devastating enough on its own, driving hundreds of thousands from their homes, but the bigger problem was that it destroyed the rice crop. (The polluted river also spread typhoid and dysentery.) Ultimately, as many as 3.7 million people may have died, by far the worst natural disaster of the last 100 years. Above: Flooding in Hankou, China on September 1, 1931.
