Kingdom of the Lombards - The population of the Italian Peninsula was destroyed

Time: 6th Century

Place: Italian Peninsula

Details: Problems were further exacerbated by widespread famine (538–542) and a devastating plague pandemic (541–542). Although the Byzantine Empire eventually prevailed, the triumph proved to be a pyrrhic victory, as all these factors caused the population of the Italian Peninsula to crash, leaving the conquered territories severely underpopulated and impoverished.
