Imagine what the population of China would be today if something like 50 million people weren't killed in WW2, Mao's Cultural Revolution, and the 1 baby policy.
The old Soviet Union people would probably have double the population if not for being slaughtered in WW1, the revolution/purges/gulags, and WW2.
All the major powers took a population beating except for the USA in that whole WW1 through WW2 timeframe.
