How to make the world a deader place

Bypass the British agricultural revolution of the 1700s so that food production can't meet rising populations.

"A World Without Spuds"
WI: no one twigged to the utility of the potato as a subsistence crop during the Age of Exploration?
 
There are two easy ways to achieve this:
- the Mongols mamage to conquer all of Europe and Asia. The result would be that not a single town would have survived and millions of people dead (the inhabitants of those towns which did not surrender) or in slavery (in inhabitants of the towns which did surrrender).

The mongles did not slaughter everyone they met, If they had, china, russa, eastern europe and The middle east would be empty. The mongles might have done some horrable things, particuly in the middle east, but they were not genocidel anamals, They were infact very riligusly tolerent.

They did not like cities, so they razed all the cities they have conquered. If a city surrendered the inhabitants were kept alive and became slaves. If a city did not surrender then every one in the city was killed.
