Irish Population Demographics

Also sorry, I just noticed that the data I provided and the graph don't match. This is due to the data being for the Republic of Ireland while the graph is for the Republic and Northern Ireland.

1) Emigration, mostly to America.
2) Possibly the "bloodlands", aka the areas of Europe worst hit by both world wars. Maybe other areas that suffered under communism.

>>2589513
Was emigration the only reason though?

I mean other European countries didn't experience this level of population decline and they also had a ton of emigration.

IIRC Persia's population only returned to its pre-KHAN level in the 19th or 20th century

I was just thinking about this the other day, actually, in regards to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I can't be sure because it's modern national borders don't line up with the boundaries of the old empire, but it seemed to me that the constituent former territories might have a lower combined population today than they did at the end of the 19th century.

I mean I completely understand why it would be slow but I can't understand why it took until the 1960s before the decline ended.
