Migration, Settlement, and Demography 1750 to 1900 - AP World History: Modern

Malthus was an ardent student of population trends. He published many studies on how populations affected the economics of a given area or nation. He also looked at the trends of the populations of the world as a whole.

Malthus believed the world's population was growing far too fast for the farms and agricultural markets to keep up. He feared that the world would be plunged into a massive famine due to the lack of ability to feed the ever-rising population. While his fears were never completely realized as a worldwide famine on the scale he imagined never happened, there have been many large-scale famines that greatly diminished the populations of many nations.

The population of Ireland before the Great Famine was just over 8 million people. The famine hit so hard that between the millions who starved and the millions who fled to the United States, England, Australia, and New Zealand by the time the famine ended the population of Ireland had fallen to 4 million.

Liberia was founded in the early 1800's by freed slaves from the United States. They were part of the Back To Africa Movement of freed slaves. Therefore the U.S. felt the need to issue a hands-off warning to the European powers during the Scramble for Africa.

During the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, tens of millions of Europeans migrated from Europe to colonies (and later countries) such as the United States, Brazil, Canada, Australia, and Argentina. The peak of this migration occurred during the mid 19th to early 20th centuries.
