List of countries by population in 1925

Last updated

This is a list of countries by population in 1925, based on territory they controlled at the time, not what they control today, therefore non-independent countries at the time are omitted from the list. Most estimate numbers are from midway through the year and exact population figures are for countries that held a census on various dates in the year 1925. Some countries' populations are estimated linearly based on population years from before 1925 and after 1925.

Eight seas surround the region (clockwise): the Aegean Sea, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea.
