Wars don't really do a lot to curb the population in the scheme of things,because the second and third world countries make up for the loss quite quickly.
Just look at the fammins and other disasters in these countries and yet their populations still increase.
India and China are still increasing their populations,between them they have about One Third of the Worlds population.
