Chinese famine of 1906–1907

Common card · No. 425232

The Chinese famine of 1906–1907 struck the middle and lower course of the Huai River in the Qing Dynasty from Autumn 1906 to Spring 1907, administratively in northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu provinces. This Chinese famine was directly caused by the 1906 Huai River floods (April–October 1906), which hit the Huai River particularly hard and destroyed both the summer and autumn harvest. It has been estimated that between 20 and 25 million people died, although this figure is highly uncertain.
