Historically the only remedy for these type of events has been a prolonged conflict.



No it hasn't. Prolonged conflicts often see a corresponding bump in fertility rates. The overall population has seen continuous since the 14th century or so, and the 20th century saw an explosion of growth, even though 7 of the 15 largest death tolls by conflict have occurred during the 20th century. The notion that conflicts show an overall depression in population or population growth isn't well-supported.
