From my understanding, the worst thing that's happened in human history is the spread of Eurasian diseases to the Americas.

Over 90% of the population died off over the course of a few generations and entire complex cultures disappeared.

I'd put Communism as a close 2nd place. Thankfully, that didn't last as long.
