Throughout human history, death has often been linked to dangerous periods marked by conflict, disease, and natural disasters. One of the most dangerous eras was the Black Death in the 14th century, when the bubonic plague killed an estimated 75-200 million people across Europe, Asia, and Africa.  This pandemic devastated entire cities, altering the course of economies, politics, and social structures. At a time when medicine was rudimentary, the plague spread rapidly through fleas on rats, showing how vulnerable humanity could be to unseen dangers.

In more recent times, world wars in the 20th century introduced another level of danger, with death on an industrial scale. World War I and World War II claimed tens of millions of lives through combat, bombings, and genocides 

. The introduction of nuclear weapons at the end of World War II, with the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, added the existential threat of annihilation by human hands. These wars highlighted the deadly consequences of political conflict and the rapid advancement of military technology.
