- The Growth of Population (Sources)
- Between 1500 and 1800 the population of Europe grew considerably
- Growth was uneven over period
- Deciding why population grew is difficult, mainly because of problems with sources
- In 16th century population recovers from slump that followed Black Death in mid-C14th
- In early 17th century population growth falters
- In later C17th growth resumes and continues into C18th
- The growth of population is uneven across Europe as well as across time
- Both urban and rural populations expand and decline
- Migration from countryside to town, between countries, and to places outside Europe does not affect continent as a whole
- Over period as whole, most growth takes place in north-west Europe
- England in particular draws away from other countries in later C18th
- There appears to have been least growth in eastern and central Europe: the Russian and Austrian empires
- Between 1500 and 1800 the population of Europe grew considerably
