- "A witch-hunt or a witch purge is a search for people who have been labeled witches or a search for evidence of witchcraft, and it often involves a moral panic or mass hysteria. The classical period of witch-hunts in Early Modern Europe and Colonial America took place in the Early Modern period or about 1450 to 1750, spanning the upheavals of the Reformation and the Thirty Years´ War, resulting in an estimated 35,000 to 100,000 executions, with the most recent estimate at 40,000.[a] The last executions of people convicted as witches in Europe took place in the 18th century. In other regions, like Africa and Asia, contemporary witch-hunts have been reported from sub-Saharan Africa and Papua New Guinea, and official legislation against witchcraft is still found in Saudi Arabia and Cameroon today." - (en.wikipedia.org 24.12.2020)
