No. The Progressive Era started around 1890 and lasted until the end of World War I (around 1919).
"Manchuria" refers to Northeast China. In WW2, the only significant event that took place here was an invasion by the Soviet Red Army. It served as a base of operations against Japan.
Christendom refers to the worldwide community of Christians and the cultural, social, and political influence of Christianity. It encompasses the historical period when Christianity was the dominant religion in Europe and had a significant impact on Western civilization. Today, the term is used more broadly to describe the collective presence and influence of Christian beliefs and practices throughout the world.
Overpopulation is a condition where an organism's numbers exceed the carrying capacity of its habitat. The term often refers to the relationship between the human population and its environment, the Earth.[1] Steve Jones, head of the biology department at University College London, has said, "Humans are 10,000 times more common than we should be, according to the rules of the animal kingdom, and we have agriculture to thank for that. Without farming, the world population would probably have reached half a million by now."[2] The world's population has significantly increased in the last 50 years, mainly due to medical advancements and substantial increases in agricultural productivity.The recent rapid increase in human population over the past two centuries has raised concerns that humans are beginning to overpopulate the Earth, and that the planet may not be able to sustain present or larger numbers of inhabitants. The population has been growing continuously since the end of the Black Death, around the year 1400;[3] at the beginning of the 19th century, it had reached roughly 1,000,000,000 (1 billion). Increases in life expectancy and resource availability during the industrial and green revolutions led to rapid population growth on a worldwide level. By 1960, the world population had reached 3 billion; it doubled to 6 billion over the next four decades. As of 2009, the estimated annual growth rate was 1.10%, down from a peak of 2.2% in 1963, and the world population stood at roughly 6.7 billion. Current projections show a steady decline in the population growth rate, with the population expected to reach between 8 and 10.5 billion between the year 2040[4][5] and 2050.[6]The scientific consensus is that the current population expansion and accompanying increase in usage of resources is linked to threats to the ecosystem. The InterAcademy Panel Statement on Population Growth, which was ratified by 58 member national academies in 1994, called the growth in human numbers "unprecedented", and stated that many environmental problems, such as rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, global warming, and pollution, were aggravated by the population expansion.[7] At the time, the world population stood at 5.5 billion, and optimistic scenarios predicted a peak of 7.8 billion by 2050, a number that current estimates show will be reached around 2022.DefinitionOverpopulation does not depend only on the size or density of the population, but on the ratio of population to available sustainable resources. It also depends on the way resources are used and distributed throughout the population. Overpopulation can result from an increase in births, a decline in mortality rates due to medical advances, from an increase in immigration, or from an unsustainable biome and depletion of resources. It is possible for very sparsely populated areas to be overpopulated, as the area in question may have a meager or non-existent capability to sustain human life (e.g. a desert). The resources to be considered when evaluating whether an ecological niche is overpopulated include clean water, clean air, food, shelter, warmth, and other resources necessary to sustain life. If the quality of human life is addressed, there may be additional resources considered, such as medical care, education, proper sewage treatment and waste disposal. Overpopulation places competitive stress on the basic life sustaining resources,[9] leading to a diminished quality of life.[10]History of concernConcern about overpopulation is relatively recent in origin. Throughout history, populations have grown slowly despite high birth rates, due to the population-reducing effects of war, plagues and high infant mortality. During the 750 years before the Industrial Revolution, the world's population hardly increased, remaining under 250 million.[11] By the beginning of the 19th century, the world population had grown to a billion individuals, and intellectuals such as Thomas Malthus and physiocratic economists predicted that mankind would outgrow its available resources, since a finite amount of land was incapable of supporting an endlessly increasing population. Mercantillists argued that a large population was a form of wealth, which made it possible to create bigger markets and armies.History of population growthThe human population has gone through a number of periods of growth since the dawn of civilization in the Holocene period, around 10,000 BC. The beginning of civilization coincides with the final receding of glacial ice following the end of the last glacial period. It is estimated that about 1,000,000 people, subsisting on hunting and foraging, inhabited the Earth in the period before the neolithic revolution, when human activity shifted away from hunter-gathering and towards very primitive farming. Around 8000 BCE, at the dawn of agriculture, the population of the world was approximately 5 million.[12] The next several millennia saw minimal changes in the population, with a steady growth beginning in 1000 BCE, plateauing (or alternatively, peaking) in 1 BCE, at between 200 and 300 million people.The Plague of Justinian caused Europe's population to drop by around 50% between 541 and the 8th century.[13] Steady growth resumed in 800 CE.[14] This growth was disrupted by frequent plagues; most notably, the Black Death during the 14th century. the effects of the Black Death are thought to have reduced the world's population, then at an estimated 450 million, to between 350 and 375 million by 1400.[15] The population of Europe stood at over 70 million in 1340;[16] these levels did not return until 200 years later.[17]On the other side of the globe, China's population at the founding of the Ming dynasty in 1368 stood close to 60 million, approaching 150 million by the end of the dynasty in 1644.[18][19]England's population reached an estimated 5.6 million in 1650, up from an estimated 2.6 million in 1500.[20] New crops that had come to Asia and Europe from the Americas via the Spanish colonizers in the 16th century contributed to the population growth.[21][22]Since being introduced by Portuguese traders in the 16th century,[23] maize and manioc have replaced traditional African crops as the continent's most important staple food crops.[24]Alfred W. Crosby speculated that increased production of maize, manioc, and other American crops "...enabled the slave traders [who] drew many, perhaps most, of their cargoes from the rain forest areas, precisely those areas where American crops enabled heavier settlement than before."[25]The population of the Americas in 1500 may have been between 50 and 100 million.[26]Encounters between European explorers and populations in the rest of the world often introduced local epidemics of extraordinary virulence. Archaeological evidence indicates that the death of around 90% of the Native American population of the New World was caused by Old World diseases such as smallpox, measles, and influenza.[27]Over the centuries, the Europeans had developed high degrees of immunity to these diseases, while the indigenous peoples had no such immunity.[28]After the effects of the plagues had subsided during the 17th century, shortly before the Industrial Revolution, the world population began to grow once again. In parts of Asia, like China, the population doubled from 60 to 150 million under the Ming dynasty[citation needed].After the start of the Industrial Revolution, during the 18th century, the rate of population growth began to increase. By the end of the century, the world's population was estimated at just under 1 billion.[29]At the turn of the 20th century, the world's population was roughly 1.6 billion.[29] By 1940, this figure had increased to 2.3 billion[citation needed].Dramatic growth beginning in 1950 (above 1.8% per year) coincided with greatly increased food production as a result of the industrialisation of agriculture brought about by the Green Revolution.[30] The rate of growth peaked in 1964, at about 2.2% per year.The world population was at some point in 2010 estimated to be 6,892,200,000, with unreported variability.[31]1900Africa - 133 millionAsia - 946 millionEurope - 408 millionLatin America & Caribbean - 74 millionNorth America - 82 million
This question fails to specify the source claiming that there are only eight ethnicities in the Middle East and there are currently hundreds of ethno-religious groups in the Middle East. Furthermore, there is no timeframe on this question, and ethnic changes in the Middle East are quite significant over time. All-withstanding, the current most populous and famous ethnicities in the Middle East are: 1) Civilized Sunni Arabs (This is to say the Arabs who are Sunni Moslems and live in a relatively urban environment.) 2) Turks (This refers to the ethnicity of Turkey as opposed to the Turks meaning all similar people of that general ethnic group.) 3) Persians (This refers to the dominant ethnic group in Iran.) 4) Civilized Shiite Arabs (This is to say the Arabs who are Shiite Moslems and live in a relatively urban environment.) 5) Bedouins (This refers to the nomadic desert-Arabs that populate the Middle East) 6) Israeli Jews (This refers to the dominant ethno-religious group in the State of Israel.) 7) Egyptian Copts (This refers to the largest group of Egyptian Christianity.) 8) South Asians (This refers to the large immigrant worker population in the Gulf States that comes from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.)

Population growth refers to the increase in the number of individuals in a population over time, often measured as a percentage. Population density refers to the number of individuals living in a given area, usually expressed as individuals per square kilometer. Both factors are important for understanding demographic trends and the distribution of resources.
Population change refers to any increase or decrease in the size of a population, whereas population growth specifically refers to the overall increase in the population size over a given period, often expressed as a percentage. Population change can be influenced by factors such as births, deaths, immigration, and emigration, while population growth focuses on the net increase in population size resulting from these factors.
A population that is experiencing exponential growth is typically fast. Exponential growth refers to a constant growth rate where the population size increases exponentially over time. This means that the population doubles at a regular interval, leading to a rapid increase in numbers.
Population implosion refers to a rapid and drastic decline in the population of a region or a country. This can be caused by factors such as low birth rates, high death rates, and emigration. Population implosions can have significant social and economic consequences, such as labor shortages and declining economic growth.
Population growth can be both negative and positive, depending on the context. In general, population growth refers to the increase in the number of individuals in a given area over time. If the birth rate is higher than the death rate and migration outflows, then population growth is positive. However, if the death rate exceeds the birth rate, or there is significant emigration, then population growth can be negative.
Natural increase refers to the type of population growth that is driven by the difference between births and deaths, without external factors like immigration influencing the population change.
Population growth refers to the increase in the number of individuals living in a particular area over a specified period of time. It is influenced by factors such as birth rates, death rates, immigration, and emigration. Sustainable population growth is important for economic development, but rapid population growth can lead to strain on resources and environmental degradation.
Development refers to the process of economic growth and improvement in infrastructure, technology, and institutions within a country or region. Population, on the other hand, refers to the number of people living in a particular area. Development can impact population growth and distribution by influencing factors like education, healthcare, and job opportunities.
Unrestricted growth refers to a situation where a population or system can increase without any limitations or constraints. In this scenario, resources are abundant, and there are no factors that impede the growth of the population. This can lead to exponential or rapid growth until environmental factors eventually limit further expansion.

Population growth refers to an increase in the size of a population over time due to natural births, while population change encompasses all factors that contribute to alterations in the population size, including births, deaths, immigration, and emigration. Population growth specifically focuses on the numerical increase, whereas population change considers both increases and decreases and can be either positive or negative.
