In the 1600s, the main causes of death included Infectious Diseases such as smallpox, tuberculosis, and plague, which spread rapidly due to poor sanitation and limited medical knowledge. Additionally, malnutrition and famine were common, exacerbated by wars and social upheaval. Accidents and injuries also contributed significantly to mortality rates, particularly in agrarian societies. Overall, the lack of effective medical treatments and understanding of disease transmission played a critical role in high death rates during this period.
