You know I don't actually know, but I don't know enough about other countries population history to start boasting about how Ireland is the only country to have a lower population now than a hundred and fifty years ago. If that is a boast at all. khwarezm fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Sep 11, 2015 |

Other countries that might be candidates are Ukraine before the Holodomor and WW2, and DR Congo before Leopold II.

Genghis Khan murdered so many people that Iran reached the same population it had in the early 1200's in 1950's. You know, just to compare population extremes.

I remember hearing something similar but that the population recovered to pre-conquest levels in the 1500s. It hard to get info on this kind of thing but this Wikipedia page says the pre-conquest population was 2.5 million, so in 1950 they were far above that. the jizz taxi posted:Other countries that might be candidates are Ukraine before the Holodomor and WW2, and DR Congo before Leopold II. According to the Russian Empire's census in 1897 Ukraine had about 23.5 million people. The 1937 Soviet census was suppressed because it clearly showed that there were a bunch less people in the country than there should be ~for some reason~, but the 1927 one lists 29 million people in Ukraine. Then in 1950 its about 37 million but this is largely due to the increase in territory as the Soviet Union took over areas in the west. Still the population went up rapidly until it peaked in the late 80s to almost 52 million. Since then its dropped to only 44 million. Don't know anything about Congo unfortunately. khwarezm fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Sep 11, 2015 |

It's a hot bhutan issue for sure. A reminder that the Bhutanese national dish is melted yak cheese and whole chilis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ema_datshi I've tried it and it's... not good.

I agree it really seems like this is just a shameful case of a necessary job being left half done. The fact that the french had the balls to take care of things should make the rest of you ashamed. Russia... well of course Russia had the balls.

Yeah I'm definitely down for trying a pile of cheese with chilies in it. We used to grill cheese stuffed peppers all the time and they were great. Everything I've eaten from a yak has been amazing.

In 1830 too (even if that revolution ended up putting another king on the throne). Louis XVI was the only king who actually got killed, after that French kings just got the hell out the moment they realised they weren't in control anymore.
