Hans Rosling: two-hundred years in four minutes teaches global health animating data in real space life expectancy was below forty and made less than forty thousand dollars in 1810 World War One Spanish flu epidemic twenty-fifty million killed around the world six-hundred seventy-five thousand killed in the United States 1948 World War Two So in the video we watched today, we saw a chart that had all the countries and their life expectancy, income, and industrial growth. I learned that they all started in the same place which was a very low place in the corner of the chart. Then as industrialization started the countries started to rise lead by America and Canada.
