When AIDS first emerged, no-one could have predicted how the epidemic would spread across the world and how many millions of lives it would change. There was no real idea what caused it, and consequently, no real idea how to protect against it.

Not only China, but also In London population was 1,000,000 during 1347’s, and it dropped off to 37,000 by the 1353’s (Tignor). In contrast, epidemic AIDS also terrifying disease that is taking over the world gradually, even though modern medical treatment continuing their effort to prevent it. As same as Black Death, AIDS is also causing a staggering loss of life. Around 12 million people have

Comparisons between countries and regions before and after the advent of capitalism in Eastern Europe, Russia and Central Europe as well as a comparison of Cuba and the ex-communist countries provide us with an adequate basis to draw some definitive conclusions.
