        That was a very good demonstration. In classes such as psychology, human geography, and sociology, there is a slight touch base into why each event and how their impact changed the world.

          There were a few countries that dropped rock bottom between 1998-present. I am curious as well to what caused a sudden decline, and than a sudden rise.

            he mentioned the spanish flu at that point, no? i might be wrong. but the plague could have also caused that too. there are a lot of diseases that could have caused that. i wish they had listed all the countries at all those points, maybe decade-by-decade.

                It was right around 1941. So after the Spanish flu but during WWII. It is a brown dot (as he calls it but they look orange) and it is a Euro country

                    Russia has faced this problem at other times during the last century. The first bout of depopulation lasted from 1917 to 1923, and was caused by the upheavals that transformed the Russian Empire into the Soviet Union. The next drop took place between 1933 and 1934, when the country’s population fell by nearly 2 million—or almost 2 percent—as a result of Stalin’s war against the “kulaks” in his forced collectivization of Soviet agriculture. And then, between 1941 and 1946, Russia’s population plummeted by more than 13 million through the cataclysms and catastrophes of World War II.
