In the 17th C. London.
From reddit.
And remember, London in 33 years after this list will have a Bubonic Plague outbreak that won't see an end of til the town burns. That will do in 100,000.
Just considering the stuff that made the triple digits, the big ones.
- Old age
- Childbirth, various, death to mother or child or both
- Diarrhea
- Infection
- Tuberculosis
- Being an infant, very dangerous
- Small Pox
- Bad teeth
And Edema and Convulsions from something, probably another cause. Lots of the little ones also end up really being part of the above.
Seven murders in a metropolis of half a million. More died of tetanus.
Thank goodness for vaccines, sanitation, antibiotics, and modern dentistry. Insert English teeth-joke, here.
