On this date, January 12, 1912, the results of the French Census of 1911 were released, showing 39,601,509 residents, and increase of 349,264 from the 1906 census of 39,252,245. The next census, including the formally lost provinces of Alsace and Lorraine included the forthcoming enumeration: the total population of France according to the 1921 census would be 41,475,523. Taking into account the deaths directly due to the war were estimated at about 1,750,000.
The returns of the 1921 census were expected to show a corresponding decrease.
From the 1912 boundaries, France may have had less deaths, however these deaths included territorials. For example 12,000 deaths were from Vietnam.
