Chapter 136: Population in 1890
First Town City.
At the beginning of 1890, the population data of East Africa was updated again, and in fact, if it were not for the war, the population data of East Africa would have been completed in July and August of last year.
The year 1889, exactly ten years after the last East African census, was delayed by several months because of the war, after the East African census was changed to a decennial count.
In 1879, the population of East Africa was 50 million, including 30 million of its own citizens and nearly 20 million blacks, and now it has been ten years.
"As of December last year, the total population of East Africa has exceeded 52 million, which makes China one of the few countries in the world with a population of more than 50 million, ranking behind the Far Eastern Empire, Britain, Tsarist Russia and the United States."
"According to our estimates, the population of the United States should have exceeded 60 million, as for Germany and Austria-Hungary, they should both be about 40 million, of which Germany may be close to 50 million, which is not much different from us, Austria-Hungary should be slightly stronger than France, but the population of Austria-Hungary is about 10 million people different from us."
The difference between today's Austro-Hungarian Empire and its predecessors is that there is more of the Venice area, so the population is larger than in the original history, and it should be in the early 40 millions.
Germany has maintained a high fertility rate, and there has been no outflow of population in recent years, so the population is approaching 50 million, but it should not exceed 50 million.
France has remained steady, but it absorbed a lot of its population from Italy during the Italian War, so the population may be higher than it was during the same period.
The disintegration of Italy can be said to have made an important contribution to the increase in the population of countries around the world, including the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Austria, and East Africa, all of which have enjoyed the dividends of Italy's population spillover.
If it weren't for the collapse of Italy, Italy would at least be a large country with a population of more than 30 million.
However, even so, the population of the Kingdom of Italy was still about 10 million, and the Red Sea Colonies greatly relieved the population pressure of the Kingdom of Italy.
The Kingdom of Naples is much more miserable, the Kingdom of Naples has a poor economic foundation, and the fertility rate is the highest in the Apennine Peninsula, and it has now replaced Germany as the region with the most serious population loss in Europe.
"Among the top five populous countries in the world, Britain is a relatively special existence, because the population of the British Indian colonies is more than 200 million, and if France counts the colonies, the total population of France is estimated to exceed that of China."
With the addition of France, a French colony, the total population should be around 70 million, directly surpassing the United States to rank fourth in the world.
The colonial population should be one of the main factors that Britain and France can dominate the world pattern, although Tsarist Russia also has a large native population, but many territories of Tsarist Russia are actually no different from colonies, especially Central Asia and parts of Eastern Europe.
"At present, the number of black people in China is not clear, because the population data of Mozambique and Angola have not been counted, but it should not exceed 4 million, and if the number of black people in the two places is calculated according to 4 million, then the number of black people in China is about 21 million."
With the addition of blacks, the population of East Africa directly exceeded 70 million, which is basically the same as that of France, which includes the colonial population, and directly exceeds the total population of the United States, so the population of East Africa is still stable at the top five in the world.
However, this also made the psychology of East African officials very uncomfortable, and after a decade of development, the number of blacks has only increased.
However, these blacks have completely lost their lives, and East African citizens are nearly twice the size of the black population, and even if blacks can fight for rights in the future, it will not be possible to change the demographics of East Africa.
Obviously, the East African government will not give blacks this opportunity at all, and the national policy of vacating cages for birds will continue to be implemented until the last drop of blood is completely replaced.
At this time, Ernst said: "We have always had the attitude towards the black people, we can only use them, not count them in the East African countries, and now it is the nineties, and in the next thirty years, we must completely eliminate the black population of East Africa." ”
Argentina is the country in the world that has adopted the same national policy as East Africa, and many countries and regions where blacks live have actually become accustomed to coexisting with blacks.
The most typical is Brazil and the United States, a few days ago Brazil officially abolished the slavery system, which means that the future Brazil's demographic structure is completely finalized, and although the status of black Americans is still low, but has been integrated into American society, of course, this integration refers to integration into the bottom society.
Although the number of black people in East Africa is only twice that of the United States, under Ernst's special care, the black population of the United States has exceeded 9 million, accounting for about 14 percent of the American population, compared with 11 percent in history.
The black population of the United States will also rise in the future, because the slave trade between East Africa and Haiti has been reopened after the armistice.
In addition, after the South African War, the United States and East Africa reconciled relations, which made it more convenient for East Africa to "contribute to the economic construction of the United States".
In the seventies and eighties, East Africa took advantage of the economic crisis to gain a large German population from the United States, but returned close to two million black people, so the United States still earned.
Of course, the German population of East Africa cut off from the United States is not very large, for example, one-third of the population of New York is now German, while the German population of the United States is still as high as six or seven million.
The United States is still the fourth most populous country in Germany after Germany, Austria-Hungary and East Africa, and today the majority of immigrants in the United States are mainly Italians (including the Kingdom of Naples), blacks (mainly from East Africa) and the Irish.
The Irish are once again exporting to the United States on a large scale, and they have a lot to do with British Prime Minister Cecil.
In the seventies, the question of Irish autonomy had become the focus of the British, and during Gladstone's reign, the Irish question was not resolved, and Cecil came to power.
And Cecil is a hardliner, just like the South African War, Cecil adopted a national policy of repression against Ireland, so during Cecil's rule, Ireland launched a new round of resistance, and the turbulence of the times triggered a new wave of immigrants from ordinary Irish.
However, now Cecil has stepped down because of the defeat of the South African war, and Gladstone has successfully reformed the government.
Therefore, the relationship between Britain and Ireland will be eased in the future, and the problem of population loss in Ireland will be alleviated to a certain extent.
This is also good news for East Africa, which will make it more difficult for East Africa to export to the United States if people from all over the world run to the United States.
However, the black problem is still serious, the 20 million black population in East Africa is not small, according to the current number of black exports, the work in East Africa is still very long, but for this, Ernst has a new idea, that is, to increase the population export to West Africa.
Although there is a shortage of labor in East Africa, it is mainly due to the demographic structure, and the high number of newborns and the high cost of raising them are the main reasons for maintaining a black population in East Africa.
But it will only take another fifteen years or so for the new generation of East Africa to be able to completely provoke the beams, and at that time, East Africa will not need to retain a large black population at all.
In addition, with the passage of time, the development of industries such as internal combustion engines and electricity, production efficiency increased, and even if the population of East Africa remained unchanged, blacks could be slowly eliminated, after all, an important reason for the decline of the slave trade in modern times was industrial development and production efficiency, and East Africa would also experience this process.
