How did the Finnish famine and Dutch famine get on to this list? Does it mean there were no famines with 30,000+ death tolls prior to 1866?

I dont know how the data was complied.

Does that "Dutch famine - 30,000 death toll - mid 20thC (the century you need it to be in)' stuck on there at the end not give you pause for thought?

Looking at the whole list more than half have occurred sine the beginning of the
twentieth century, a rather disproportionate amount.

Which list?

One can only utilise the data one is given FMF.

Especially when it doesn't have the Great European famine of the 14th century on it which killed a few million people.

How do you intend to "utilise" the data about "30,000 Dutch famine of 1944"?

A large number centered around the time of WWII, after that i think it's fair to say the numbers are in decline.

You used a list that was blatantly not "complete" to make your point? Where is the link to it?

so the greatest preponderance of recorded famines have occurred since the beginning
of the twentieth century. Thank you. Clearly we are living in the last days as Christ
stated in his prophecy of the composite sign in Matthew Chapter 24.
