11 days agoSource for that 75% claim? Wondering how it’s calculated since I’ve heard ~90% died to plagues the settlers brought, but since 75% is below that it seems like it’s calculating something else. Is it referring to some specific time period?
Over what time period are we talking though?
Like the Wikipedia article says 10-100M and up to 95% died from plagues brought over from ~1500-1618, but I can’t tell if the sources are any good/reliable.
Does this count or does it mean that of those who remained, a further 75% got genocided? Or is it referring to some specific even later genocide.
