"Epidemics Resulting from Wars" by Friedrich Prinzing is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work examines the historical nexus between warfare and the outbreak of epidemics, arguing that the significant human cost of war extends far beyond military casualties to include widespread civilian suffering from infectious diseases, particularly during times of conflict. The opening of the text introduces the author’s main thesis regarding the often-overlooked impact of war-induced epidemics on civilian populations. It outlines the intent to investigate historical instances where such diseases—like typhus, cholera, and smallpox—spread linked to warfare. Additionally, it establishes the importance of recognizing these epidemics as critical consequences of warfare that contribute massively to human mortality, sometimes exceeding battlefield deaths. The introductory remarks also highlight the author's reliance on historical records and existing literature to probe these connections. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 55.9 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
