Between 1492 and 1900, somewhere between 2 and 100 million American Indians were wiped out following contact with European settlers, most of which were casualties due to smallpox brought by the Europeans—smallpox that in some cases was used as a primitive form of biological warfare when Europeans disseminated smallpox-infected blankets to the tribes. At the highest estimate, thats somewhere in the area of 16 times the death toll of the Nazi concentration camps, and twice Stalins kill count in WWII—obviously over a much longer period of time. Happy 4th, sorry to interrupt your enjoyment of Tim McGraw and Chinese slave-produced WalMart food.
