On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury — a massive joint military campaign against Iran targeting its nuclear program, military infrastructure, and leadership. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in the opening strikes. Iran responded with hundreds of missiles and thousands of drones across the Middle East, effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz and sending global oil prices past $91 a barrel. European nations were drawn into the crisis, with Britain, France, and Spain providing military support, while NATO allies braced for escalation. The conflict has already killed more than 1,300 people and left hundreds of thousands of travelers stranded. Europe's story is one of resilience. From post-war baby booms to Cold War division, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to Brexit, from migration crises to today's global war — every population shift tells a deeper story. 🇬🇧 Note: The United Kingdom is shown from 1973 (EEC entry) to 2020 (Brexit). 📊 Data sourced from UN World Population Prospects & Eurostat historical records.
