Wars in general have a detrimental effect on the populations average height. This can be attributed to several factors:
- The general poorer food provided to the citizens during the war limits the height attained by children as they grow
- The tendency of leaders to take the tallest and healthiest males for the army which in many cases removes them from the gene pool as they are killed.
- The population becomes more populated with females (armies are usually males and are killed in greater numbers). The female human us generally starter than the male and average population height would be reduced.
