Didn't we have a massive population boom right after WWII? I didn't do the research to back up this claim, but I seem to remember something like a baby boom. Not a coincidence. If I remember correctly.
But still, a war whould not be an effective way. It whould be more likly nazi style mass murder of the flawed or lower class (legal menally deformed, deformed, prisnors ect)
Also in my opinion, total peace is impossible for humans, violence might as well be considered a dormant or dominant trait in all humans because no matter who you are at one point in your life you have gotten angry, over time we learn to control these urges at least some do. Second, while peace is good, wartime causes an increase in technological advances since every one throws them selves into looking for a WOMD or superior armor for vehicles and infantry, better aircraft everything is sought to be improved on. However war to kill of population makes no sense, because in wartime birthrates are increased therefore there is no change.
Wow, I'm sorry but the OP just fails. Why would you have a war in a peaceful civilization. THAT MAKES NO SENSE. If we are peaceful we advance both technically and smartly.
No advancement is driven by war. Well really by fear; fear of the enemy, weather it is global warming, communists, zombies or even apple®
we move on to your anus because uranus is not nice enough for humans
also Soylent Green is a movie where' there's overpopulation and a food crisis so they start eating soylent red and yellow and even soylent green. Soylent green "is brought to you by Soylent red and Soylent yellow, high energy vegetable concentrates, and new, delicious, Soylent green. The miracle food of high-energy plankton gathered from the oceans of the world"
but it turns out "Soylent Green is made out of people. They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!"
but tragically the movie ends and little johnny that is how we won WWV
