This was population density in 1600

Look at the population of Ireland prior to the potato famine and then look at the current population of Ireland.
Michael Barnes
It's fake
Brandon Cox
>nothing changes except some cities
Evan Perry
Holly shit, that difference between France and Spain.
also: Transylvania again outshines the rest of Romania.
Brody Nguyen
>where you live used to have 10 to 30 inhabitants per mile
Chase Morgan
Why is spain so low? Did they just send everyone over to the new world to die?
Kevin Martin
Who else /holy roman empire/ here ?
James Cooper
France had nearly 900 years of general internal stability while Spain sufferd a lot during the Requonquista and so did the Balkans (ethnic cleansing during the ottomans).
Russia / Poland did not YET have the population boom triggered by the agricultural revolution of the potatoe and their climate cant sustain lager population at the time.
Jordan Hernandez
Without the famine Ireland would be as populous as the Netherlands
Kevin Peterson
tragic what happened to Ireland tbqh
Evan Walker
John Bennett
>that Transylvania
>that Moldova
>no Wallachia
>no united principalities
wow pretty cringe...
Brody Gutierrez
we always had low population compared to france, germany and the UK
Lincoln Phillips
For reference (The cartography we use distorts land mass based on how far from the equator it is)...

Eternal anglo is not tragic, it's the devil eye
Ayden Lopez
Lack of rivers and good soil

Drôle.

Transilvania has gold, silver, iron and is literally a big mountain crated with fertile land...it could never be conquerd by the turks and held so they prospered while Wallahia and Moldova endured bitter taxes due to the fact they are basically just a fertile plane ready to be invaded at any time.
Nicholas Jenkins
Similar to current.

France has consistently been 3 times the population size of Spain throughout history. regarless of recontiquista or other shit.
Samuel Jenkins
you're practically all living in america
Leo Cook
I always forget that Poland-Lithuania thing.
James Robinson
We're HRE too in 1600, this map is fake.
Jeremiah Ortiz
We're practically the same country, culturally.
Don't believe the memes.

Around the times of the French revoluton, france had around 25 million people while Spain and England had around 7 million each (so 3-4 times less). Also, France had a bigger population than all German states (not counting the non-Germans in Austria) combined
But then in the 19th century France stagnated and by the begining of the 20th century Germany had a 50% larger population while England cought up and Spain came to around 2/3 of the French population
Easton Nguyen
They lost a LOT of men during WW1/2.
Bentley Nguyen
France had higher pop than Russian Empire
Data differs slightly by source but everywhere Russia is smaller than France
Brody Parker
Yeah but I'm talking about the time when France lost the huge population advantage it had over other big Western Euro countries (Spain, Britain, Germany). And that happened in the 19th century when their birthrates went down like crazy, so before WWs. Also they didn't lose many people in WW2.
France was probably the first country where peasants stopped having children like crazy
Lincoln Davis
France didn't lose many men in WW2 and in WW1 they lost proportionally as much as the other powers.
Carter Myers
Why did Belgians stop having children?
Elijah Adams
>France was probably the first country where peasants stopped having children like crazy
they they dont fuck?
Ryder Williams
18th century France was scary as fuck
They were in a bit of a pickle while surrounded by Habsbourgs in Spain and Germany, but after they kicked Habsbours out of Spain in early 18th century and basically made Spain their bitch, they were able to go 1 vs the whole of Europe easily.
If you look at it like that, what Napoleon did doesn't even seem like a too big of a surprise. France was op as fuck
James Stewart
Few people know this, but the Medieval Rus' was too cold to sustain large urban centers before the cultivation of winter wheat
>And that happened in the 19th century when their birthrates went down like crazy
It was a cultural thing, the nobility having fewer children was trend that started with the french nobility in the 18th century
Gavin Martinez
>France was probably the first country where peasants stopped having children like crazy
No need to worry. Their birth rate is being boosted by blacks. They will have a growing population for a long time.
Liam Ward
america is wunderbar :)
Asher Rivera
Industrialization most likely
I think there were times in the 19th century when Belgium was on top in terms of industrial production per capita
Connor King
We all need to be having more unprotected sex like God mandated
Jonathan Hughes
Go read the lyrics to La Marseillaise and realize why mass immigration is going to end really fucking poorly for the immigrants.
Zachary Young
That explains a lot. Antwerp and Brussels look really big compared to Dutch cities due to their urban layout. Our population started to grow much later.
Grayson Ward

Jackson Myers
French people violently revolt just because it's the weekend. Applying significant economic and cultural pressure on them in a stark us/them scenario is going to lead to bloodshed.
