History of the flood in
1931 in China
From 1928 to 1930, China suffered from
severe drought. But severe snowstorms
began at the end of the winter of 1930 and 
there was a thaw and heavy rains in the
spring, which caused rising the water level
significantly in the Yellow river and Yangtze
river.As a result, the river overflowed its
banks and soon reached the city of Nanjing,
which was the capital of China at that time.
Many people drowned and died from water-
borne infectious diseases such as cholera and
typhus. According to Chinese sources about
145 thousand people died as a result of the
flood, while Western sources claim that there
were between 3.7 million and 4 million
deaths.
