1931 China floods

The 1931 China floods were among the worst in history, caused by heavy rains and melting snow, combined with a series of cyclones. Major rivers like the Yangtze and Huai flooded extensively, inundating large areas across central China. The floods devastated cities and farmland, displacing millions, causing widespread disease and loss of life estimated between 1 to 4 million people. The event highlighted weaknesses in flood management and infrastructure, leading to long-term efforts to improve flood control and water management in China.
