The largest nation of Europe was for a very long time
France, during the 17th century was one fifth of Europe’s
population French. Because France was so densely populated did the French
people practise family planning at an early stage. The effect of this was
that France’s share of Europe’s population decreased during the 19th
century. The population growth that occurred during the 19th
century was the result of an increase in the average life span and not an
increase of the birth rate.
