Population of the World by Country (1600-2020)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 дек 2024
- Humanity has embarked on an unprecedented period of population growth over the past 400 years. Over the course of this demographic transition great changes have swept the planet, no government from 1600 remaining uninterrupted until the present. This video follows the top 25 countries or political units by population at any given year. It begins in the year 1600 and continues to the present, where more than 14 times the people now inhabit the planet.
A wide variety of sources made this work possible. Angus Maddison's population tables, tacitus.nu, Geacron, the CIA Factbook, the World Bank, and several historical atlases all provided information over the last several months. Given the massive colonial empires prominent throughout much of the timeframe, all colonial populations are included as a part of the mother country. Unfortunately, due to a lack of sources, many smaller realms and kingdoms have been excluded in earlier periods, especially Native American tribes, several Sub-Saharan African kingdoms, and the Aboriginal people of Oceania. This may mean early totals are a bit low. Following about 1800, the vast majority of the world is included in totals. The erratic changes on the bars are caused by border changes and the rise/fall of the various powers. Rather than tracking population in a static area, this visualization seeks to emphasize the changing nature of demographic power throughout history.

Nice! I appreciate that you use proper country names and flags so there’s no Germany in 1600s for example
Well "German Reich" is not THAT proper. Reich means nothing but "Empire". So it can be named Empire just as the 2nd until 1918.
@@ajace5883 it’s the official Name, the german Reich existed from 1871-1945 but I unterstand you doubt.
@@t-doghammer8926 In English it should be called empire. In German Reich. That are the respective words for the same thing.

People, remember: COLONIES ARE COUNTED.
It's important to understand Spain's population from the 1500s to the 1700s, and above all Britain's population from the 1700s on (India). Also France's population from the 1830s on.
true
This is incredibly interesting

Maratha empire: ha! My population is bigger than yours uk!
Uk: welcome to the empire
lol!
Yeah, population (and gdp) didn't mean that much when the technological level and other stuff were so different. But it's interesting when comparing close nations (from the same civilisation).
It's cool they counted the colonial population (for once...). But the best would have been to also have the metropolitain population too in parenthesis, so that we can compare the two at any given time. Since for actual power that population was way more important than the colonial native ones.
@Bhuvansunder Singh Nayyar It depends, it's playing with words here: the gdp of pre-industrial societies depended entirely of the population. So having more population immediately meant a bigger gdp, but since it was the economy necessary to feed the population, with no excess wealth, it didn't mean much. The "historical gdp" (since gdp didn't exist at the time) is actually simply calculated by food production, nothing else (check Angus Maddison's work, it's really only that) . The actual financial and economic power of Britain was arguably a cut above any Indian entity of the time. Not even counting the difference in technology. People always get the wrong idea because today the gdp is almost everything. It was more complicated in the past.
@Bhuvansunder Singh Nayyar What does it have to do with what I said ?
I'm talking about when India was colonized. I'm not exactly a fan of England as a country, but it's a fact they had (at that moment) a lot more actual financial ressources (despite the difference in gdp), and that European technology and science during this time period was above anywhere else.
I know about the different civilisations that existed throughout history in modern day India yes, but that was not my point. I'm talking about the mid-18th century and the early 19th century.

haha ireland hit got 5 million people before the united states. that funny becuase they dont have 5 million people now. Poor potato man.
vRimb I had a stroke reading that and fucking died
It's because of the Potato Famine. Millions of Irish people died or emigrated (between 20 and 25 percent).
@@greninjamastergabe6452 I know that, thats what poor potato man means. and it is more than a 25% reduction. they had 8 million in 1848, and only 2.9million in the 1920s. Some of that is the loss of northern ireland tho
@@vrimb1 Apparently, 1 million people died and another 2.1 million emigrated. That would be a total of 3.1 million, which is greater than 25 percent (closer to 38-40 percent). Speaking of America, many Irish people went to America as a result of the Potato Famine. I'm American, and I'm part Irish (though my Irish ancestors didn't come here until much later).

This might be my favorite population over time graph I've ever seen! Thank so much for making this, I'm looking forward to your future videos!
Primeiro gráfico que vejo desse tipo em que o cara se preocupou em botar as respectivas bandeiras e nomes dos países dependendo da época, além de contar a população dos territórios ocupados, ao invés de só contar os territórios atuais. Muito bom!
Good job!
Nós também temos um canal de gráfico, se puder dê uma passadinha.
I spotted one mistake although minuscule. In 1913 the Kingdom of Hellas (Greece) acquired various of its national regions after its successes in the Balkan Wars, doubling their territories and population to 5.2 million. So technically it should have been on the last spot instead of Colombia, just for that year.
I think Greece had 5.2 million but was just behind Colombia.
6:45 oh dear, most nationals were in the poppulation decline when they lost their land.
But in case of Russia at 1920, that is real people dead in war to fight for their ideal. I really respect, admire their mind, their spirit of courage👍🙏
Look at Polish-Lithunia at 1:04. They lost no land there. Swedish deluge and Chmielnicki uprising happened and over 1/3 of population died. 2 times more deadly for Poland than 2ww.
I like this. It shows the actual countries which existed at the time rather than "modern equivalents".
First billion 1832
Second billion 1932
1 century...
And after another 90 years, another 5.7 billions...
Well, a bit scary.😑
This is fascinating.
I once tried to make a video of the countries of Europe by population from 1500-2020 like the one you made previously. I ended up giving up, due to the sheer amount of effort needed.
Now you have taken a step up and done the whole world! The amount of time needed to find sources, especially for populations in before 1900, then to compile it all, is so much.
I am so glad someone made this, and this well too. I would have loved to create this, but in the end it was too much of a task for me, thank you for creating this!
It was also interesting how you included colonies in population, which is why the UK's population reached 400 million.
I just wish flourish had a way to change the name/flag of a bar, without having to create a new row altogether. The bars going all the way down, and being replaced is a bit distracting, especially around the World Wars, but that's a limitation of flourish, not the video..
Overall, incredible video.
"It was also interesting how you included colonies in population" That's actually the most impressive feature for me. Way harder than just counting the metropolitan population. At the same time though, I would have liked to also have the European/metropolitan population in parentheses just for the sake of comparison (and because it's a more relevant marker for actual power). Both of those data are interesting in their own way.
@@xenotypos Yeah, this is something we don't often see, for a reason, whether the data is more unaccessible, etc.
But it is really interesting, I agree!
When will you make another video?
Wow. The population of the planet has more than doubled since I was born. 😳
Thanks for the perspective. Kingdoms and countries long forgotten brought to mind

Any chance of seeing the data behind this that you assembled? Incredible job not only dealing with colonial empires and border changes, but also with accurate country names and flags. It's really hard to get good population data pre-1945, so this is an amazing amount of work you've done here.

how this channel has little subs is beyond me. There is so much to learn here about the future.
I'm impressed that it has used flags and names of the empires for ex Maratha and Mughal Empire, also taken world events into consideration.
Btw, India badly needs a population control policy. Otherwise it will be a disaster for us.
The only way to artificially slow India’s population is to implement child policies China had. But that is a double edged sword that China is now learning the hard way. Because of child policy, China no longer has a population that is capable of sustaining the economy, which has grown out of proportion. By contrast, because of the opposite child policy, India no longer has an economy that is capable of sustaining the population, which has grown out of proportion. The United States by contrast was able to maintain the population in the Goldilocks zone through immigration controls. The only country that I know of that is naturally in the Goldilocks zone, is Sri Lanka. They have maintained a population of 20 million for decades and will continue to maintain one for decades to come. The problem there is that the corruption has wasted the golden opportunity for sustained growth...
Yes

Can you please tell me how do you convert the flourish visualisation to a video?

Thank you for this amazing video
This video held a lot of surprises for me, but of course I kept my eyes on the Stars and Stripes.
I found out this morning that our fertility rate in the US is higher than all of Europe except for Monaco, France, Ireland, and Turkey, and all of those countries are exclusively immigration.
With the very slow slow fall of abortion, contraception, and sexual degeneracy, America’s birthrate could re-stabilize in the future back to replacement rate, but that will take a long time. We’re approaching 1.8, while 2.1 is replacement rate. Our population growth is still just people living longer and immigration. We need babies, and I’m at the age and place where my married friends seem all too keen to deliver (quite literally lol)
weird, Ive watched alot of these and done research and noone seems to know what country is more populous in 1942. japan or uk
The 1st bilion of abitants was reach in 1804 not in 1821, 3° in 1961 (not 1960), 6° in 1999 (not 2000),

This is kinda dramatic to see the graph of the world population grow so fast, damn we are really really too much, nigeria and india calm down or it will be a sad future
At 8:19 watch Ethiopia go up really fast
Ethiopia had 4 million people in 1900, 109 million people now. Just with a high birthrate, and even while losing people who emigrated to richer countries.
While the West "worry" about world population and lose people (from an already little population) because they don't make any babies anymore, a large part of the world doesn't care and continue to aim for the moon. The countries that do that, will be the relevant countries of the future. Those that don't reproduce, will just disappear from the political spectrum.
@@xenotypos Ethiopia had a great prime minister who reduced infant mortality by 50%. More healthy babies make your population go up fast.
Very good, keep going!

@SEBIN VLOGS ANG GAMING well yes
@SEBIN VLOGS ANG GAMING Which is a mistake because company rule or the British Raj was never officially an intergrated part of the Kingdom of Great Britain or the United Kingdom, so it should say British Empire if they’re gonna include India
@MALLU KERALITE it should be written as BRITISH Raj not United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom has never had a population of 70 million, never mind 500 million. You mean the British Empire?

At 7:38 watch the population go up really fast
Looking at the demographics, I can see why East Asia was not colonized by the West. By the 18th century, China had 400 million, Japan 40 million, and Korea 20 million, making it difficult to colonize them. Compared to the total population of South East Asia(13 million), East Asia was a densely populated region. However, since the 21st century, East Asia has been declining as a depopulated region.
they did colonize south asia which is even more densely populated than east asia so dk what holded them back from colonizing east asia
Is it possible to make one of these starting at the year 0?
Impossible to know exact population
For people wondering why does the UK had a so big population, I guess it was thanks to it's colonial empire. For example : India wasn't India. It was simply the UK.
Anyway I don't know much about the subject but it's probably why.
Yes, calling that bar "British Empire" instead of "United Kingdom" during the colonial era would have been more appropriate.
The colonies are obviously counted. That's why Germany had a smaller pop than Britain and France in 1914, while in reality the metropolitan part of Germany was largely more populated than any of those two countries.
Spain in the 1500s/1600s too is counting colonies, otherwise in Europe France was a bit more populated.
Good job 👍
WOW! This is amazing!

Well people have started counting their numbers centuries ago, tho a lot of it is estimated too

Can someone tell me what happened to Great Britain's population in 1766? It jumped from 11 million to 33 million in one year.
Lot of native people in India. The colonisation of that sub-continent was gradual, not at once.
Since colonies are counted, those numbers often don't totally equate to actual power from those countries: Spain in the 1500-1700s, Britain and later France in the 1800s-1900s are a big testament of that.
Due to the expansion of British colony
For those wondering scientists estimate that to this day roughly 10 BILLION m... people lived on this earth, through history of course.

Because here they are counting the population outside of Europe, such as Canada, Australia, India, etc
I guess calling it British Empire would have been more accurate
Because British empire -> India -> loads of people.
Notice that it's also the case for Spain: Spain (in Europe) had actually of a smaller population than France in the 1500s/1600s (even with the additionnal European territories), but Spain colonies increases that total a bit, thus why Spain is above France in population during that period.
Because they have a lot of colonies
