{{Year article header|1648}}

The year 1648 has been suggested as possibly the last time in which the overall human population declined, coming towards the end of a broader period of global instability which included the collapse of the Ming dynasty and the Thirty Years' War, the latter of which ended in 1648 with the Peace of Westphalia.{{cite web |author1=John Green |author-link1=John Green |title=The General Crisis |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWtPeHIPHmA |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/yWtPeHIPHmA| archive-date=2021-12-11 |url-status=live|website=YouTube |publisher=vlogbrothers |access-date=11 July 2018 |format=Video |date=10 July 2018}}{{cbignore}}
