Population impact of war and depopulation debate
The writer argues that Europe’s fear of depopulation is exaggerated and compares it to the American Civil War. He notes roughly one tenth of the male population died in the Civil War and contends France and England would need about 1,000,000 deaths each to match that loss. Two thirds of Civil War deaths were from disease, and with medical advances the death rate from disease should fall, delaying any such crisis. He adds native population is influenced by corn and cabbage prices.
