The Henan Famine of 1942–1943 (Chinese: 1942–1943河南大饑荒) occurred in Henan, most particularly within the eastern and central part of the province. The famine occurred within the context of the Second Sino-Japanese War and resulted from a combination of natural and human factors. Modern quantitative studies put the death toll to be "well under one million", probably around 700,000.[1] 15 years later Henan was struck by the deadlier Great Chinese famine.[1]
