Years: 1769 - 1769
The famine in Bengal, which kills ten million people, a third of the population, in four years, is the worst natural disaster in human history in terms of lives lost.
The Maharajah of Mysore, Bettada Chamaraja Wadiyar VIII, forces the British to agree a treaty of mutual assistance in view of the famine, but the British East India Company increases its demands on the Bengali people to keep profits up.
