Excluding war, the people directly responsible for ordering the most deaths are:

  1. Mao Tse Tung: 70 million
  2. Josef Stalin: 20 million
  3. Adolf Hitler: 11 million

Pol Pot of Cambodia also deserves special mention. His Khmer Rouge may have only killed 1.5 million people during their rule (just under 5 years), but they only had about 7 million citizens to start with. In terms of the percentage of the total population killed, he probably holds the record.

Important Event: the World Wars! Important People: Everyone involved with those wars!Answerhow about the industrial revolution? or the neolithic revolution? AnswerGavrilo Princep in my mind is the most important person of the 20th century. By shooting Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 his actions led directly to WW1 and indirectly to WW2. As such, he is arguably responsible for over 100million deaths, the collapse of European world hegemony, the rise of Communism, and the Cold War to list but a few. He has a lot to answer for.
