Document Summary

Although often times this was the case, sometimes nature finds its way to turn our victories into miseries. This essay will present the dynamics between the two with an emphasis on j. r. mcneill"s focus on biosphere in the 20th century. Studies of microbial life became demanding in the 20th century after new infections suddenly appeared in other countries. A reason for the spread of contagions is because of military campaigns and occupations. Europe, for example, transported many of their soldiers to other countries and when they came back, formidable infections, especially cholera, took toll on the lives of millions in europe. Europe would soon improve their sanitation and manufacture antibiotics, vaccination and immunology. With these developments, deadly pathogens such as cholera were not as dangerous anymore and the number of casualties declined. Soon enough, improved housing and cleaner water would be implemented in egypt, america, argentina, japan, and everywhere that had concerns for public health.
