The Great War and mortality impacts: Dmitri Jdanov, Evgeny Andreev, Domantas Jasilionis and Vladimir M Shkolnikov of the Max Planck Institute in 2005. Between 1913 and 1918, British men aged 23 showed a 15-16 fold increase in the probability of premature death.

During World War One, in 1916, the Newfoundland Regiment went into action 753 strong; the following day, only 68 answered the roll call – 90% casualty rate, of whom almost half were deceased. In military (and any, actually) terms, this was a catastrophic and devastating loss.

An apocalypse is a “very serious event resulting in great destruction and change” (according to the Cambridge Dictionary)
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/apocalypse

A super volcano event possibly resulted in a human population decline of up to 90%, although a group of African early-modern humans nearly 9000kms away managed to thrive in this period, putting the whole thesis into contention.

According to Yuval Harari in his book Homo Sapiens, there were six species of humans 100,000 years ago.

An article by Luke Kemp on the BBC demonstrated a complication of factors contributed to the death of ancient civilisations, including climate change and socio-economic inequity. Kemp defined collapse as a “rapid and enduring loss of population, identity and socio-economic complexity,” although a few of the civilisations in his study recovered and/or transformed.
