It is unknown how many people died from smallpox prior to 1900, but smallpox was responsible for an estimated 300-500 million deaths in the 20th century before finally being officially eradicated in the late 1970s.
An estimated guess of 5,000,000 people from the time period of
100 B.C. to 1886
300,000,000 or 300mil in 20th century alone, ive been looking for similar infomation and it is hard to come by.
Smallpox has been extinct for some time (samples of the virus exist only in laboratories, not in the wild) so nobody gets the disease anymore and nobody dies of it. In earlier times before the disease was eradicated, smallpox was a very dangerous disease that killed large numbers of people, but not the same amount every year.
There are two forms of smallpox; Variola Major and Variola Minor. The first was fatal in up to 30% of infected people, the second in about 1% of infected people.
300 million people died from smallpox ... you need to be more spacific that's in the 20th century or the colonizations?
