Scenarios about 'pandemics'
Pandemics are disease outbreaks that spread across multiple continents or worldwide, affecting large populations and often causing significant mortality and social disruption. Throughout history, pandemics like the Black Death, Spanish Flu, and COVID-19 have reshaped societies, altered demographic patterns, and influenced political and economic systems. In alternate history scenarios, different pandemic outcomes can dramatically change population distributions, technological development paths, and the rise or fall of civilizations and empires.
