Overall

.

First,

there were only about 2

million

people in 1700, which increased to reach just above 5

million

in 1750.

Although

it soon started to drop to below 4

million

in 1800, there was a sharp increase until 1950 when the number of people reached approximately 45

million

.

Then

, the

population

kept rising less drastically until it reached the top at over 50

million

in 2000. Turning to the chart for the

birth

and

death

rate

, they were more likely to follow a similar pattern as they both showed a rising trend from 1700 to 1750 with 30 to 40 and about 26 to just below 38 respectively. After they remained unchanged for 50 years, they experienced significant drops to hit the bottom at about 22 and 20 respectively in 1950, from which the former started to show
