āThe idea of distributing risk has been around since the 14th century when insurers of trading ships wanted someone to share the uncertainties of long sea voyages.
āModern reinsurance was established in 19th-century Europe, which some historians credit to large fires in Hamburg, Germany, and Glarus, Switzerland, where significant losses led to the founding of many of todayās leading reinsurance companies.ā

That impact was destruction, death and trauma.
