After World War II, the estimated global population in 1945 was around 2.5 billion people. The post-war period saw significant population growth due to improvements in healthcare, nutrition, and living conditions. By 1950, the global population had reached approximately 2.6 billion, continuing to rise rapidly in the subsequent decades.
World War I resulted in an estimated 15 to 20 million deaths, including both military personnel and civilians. Given that the world's population at the time was approximately 1.8 billion, this means that roughly 0.8% to 1.1% of the global population was killed during the conflict. The war had a profound impact on many nations and societies, reshaping the political landscape of the world.

Because the whole world was basically in the war
World War II is generally considered bigger than World War I in terms of scale, devastation, and global impact. It involved more countries, resulted in higher casualties—estimated at 70 to 85 million compared to around 16 million in World War I—and spanned multiple continents. Additionally, World War II led to significant geopolitical changes and the establishment of the United Nations, which have shaped international relations since.
Estimating the exact number of people who survived World War II is challenging, as it involved numerous countries and vast populations. However, it is estimated that approximately 1.1 billion people lived in the regions affected by the war at its conclusion in 1945. While millions perished due to combat, genocide, and other war-related causes, many others survived, but exact figures on survivors are difficult to determine. Notably, the global population post-war grew significantly, indicating a substantial number of survivors.

The world population in 1946 was estimated to be around 2.5 billion people. This figure marked a significant increase from the estimated population of 2.3 billion in 1940, largely due to the post-World War II baby boom. The global population continued to grow rapidly in the following decades, reaching 7.3 billion by 2015.
