halloween death

Today in class we watched the last minute of the Ted Ed video. We also watched a video on a Swedish guy names Hans Rosling. He talked about how around the 1810's the world had a life expectancy of 40 years old and how everyone was poor. In the later 1800's countries like the England and the Americas started to rise on the chart. The chart looked a little like this 

For most of the time the Asian and African countries were still at the bottom while Europe and America was rising. The flu epidemic and war decreased life expectancy for a little bit, but everything came back to normal. During 1948 World War II ended and more countries started to rise with the USA. Japan, Iran, and more smaller countries started to creep up the graph, but most African and Asian countries were still last. Later though most people were up near the top which is how Hans try to predict that everyone would be there soon. Little did he know that was false and a lot of obstacles have come to counteract his predictions.
