    According to Wikipedia, 15 to 55 million people died as a result of the greap leap forward, a campaign launched by Mao Zedong. I assume that's what people mean when they say "Mao killed 40 million". What's your opinion on this? If Wikipedia isn't a reliable source on this, what should I read?

        If two people died in 1500, them, with a 25 year generation length, and an average of 4 children per family, that is equivalent to 2^20 people not being born as of today. Which is more than a million dead. Add this to the black book of Romeo and Juliet.
