Ah-yep. I studied this as well. Not war directly, but we covered it a little, and it's neat to see some of the theory in action in this paper; e.g. where he points out that the neutral countries, unlike the nations at war, see an increase in fertility and relates that to their economic upswing.

It's all about the resources. There's a reason "post-war economic boom" is a related link on the "post-war baby boom" page on Wikipedia ;3 During war resources are scarce, people have fewer children. After a war this trend is often reverse because of improvements in the economy. We saw a mini-version of this pre- and post-recession; a fertility spike following the major troop withdrawals in Iraq and a crash with the economy.

Believe it or not, even when they were boning those soldier boys, our foremothers knew how to have sex without producing children ;3 After all, during the war he might not come back, and being a single mother in those times would have been disastrous. Anon needs to give women a lot more credit.
