⭐ Scurvy: The Disease That Changed Wars, Empires, and the Fate of Millions

For centuries, the greatest threat to sailors wasn't storms, pirates, or enemy fleets — it was a silent disease caused by the absence of a single vitamin. Scurvy killed more men than naval battles, sank expeditions before they began, and brought entire empires to the edge of collapse. From the doomed voyages of early explorers to the rise of British naval dominance, this condition shaped the outcome of wars and redirected the course of world history.

In this video, we uncover how a simple deficiency in Vitamin C led to mass deaths at sea, halted global exploration, crippled military campaigns, and forced the greatest scientific experiment of the 18th century. Discover the shocking suffering sailors endured, the medical breakthroughs that finally exposed the cure, and how a few lemons — quite literally — reshaped the world.

Watch, learn, and prepare to be amazed by the disease that humanity underestimated… until it changed history forever.
