EUROPE'S CAPITALS HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED IN ONE LIFETIME. The native share of the population has collapsed between 1955 and 2025 in city after city across the continent.Brussels fell from 95 percent native Belgian background to 21 percent. London fell from 97 percent native British to 36 percent, and Amsterdam fell from 98 percent native Dutch to 40 percent.The rest of the list tells the same story. Berlin dropped from 98 percent native German to 57 percent, Vienna from 95 percent native Austrian to 51 percent, and Stockholm from 97 percent native Swedish to 65 percent.These are not projections or warnings about the future. They are the recorded numbers for the capitals of Europe right now, and the trend behind them has only accelerated.
