reset

Explanation:

In the 19th - century Ottoman Empire, an increase in the birth - rate would directly contribute to population growth. Refugees would be a small part of the population increase compared to natural growth. Changing to cash crops mainly affects the economy, not directly population size. Movement from countryside to cities is about internal migration, not overall population growth.
