The World in 1800
The most populous countries, every ten years from 1800 to 1950
What can we learn?
- Nobody counted everyone in 1800, so these numbers are careful estimates made by historians from old records.
- The countries are drawn with today's borders, even though many of them looked very different, or did not exist, back then.
- The chart moves ten years at a time. Watch the United States climb as millions of people arrived there from other countries.
