Interesting to note how London's population peaked in 1939, before falling steadily after that right up to the 1980's, when it finally started to rise again into the present day. A similar thing also happened to New York City in roughly the same time frame.
- dylan604 3y agoI mean, nothing really happened shortly after 1939 that made people flee London, right?
- southernplaces7 3y agoSure, the war, the Blitz, etc. but those weren't the main causes. The regrowth in population took decades even after the war ended. NYC never got bombed, but it went through nearly the same thing during the same time frame.
