World War ii set the historical Standard for this sort of phenomenon when hundreds of thousands of returning gis and their spouses in the late 1940s combined to produce what is now known As the baby Boom generation. The same thing occurred in the Early 1950s after the korean War. On a much smaller scale there was a baby Boom after after the invasion of Grenada in 1983 and operation just cause in Panama in 1989.
