In 1900, there was a fall in the infant mortality rate with modern sanitation, increased income of working classes, and better understanding of disease control.

By 1940, most of Europe had an infant mortality rate around 100.

In post-World War II there was a continued steady decline in infant mortality rates because of public health measures, antibiotics, and more available medical care.
