London had the Plague 1665/66, it ended in the same year as the fire but it's not the fire that ended it. QI fact.

Yeah, lots of outbreaks of plague since the C15th (including quite recently in Africa iirc), but not really as a major Europe-wide population decimator.

Put it on the policy list, I'm sure we can get a broad statement of intent through on population decimation following a plague outbreak causing a reversal in net migration as people flood back to mainland Europe to benefit from the increases in wages as a result.
