European Historical Crisis Year Flags (1914–1931)

This dataset lists significant crisis years in European history between 1914 and 1931, flagging years associated with major disruptive events. Each row records the year, the event name (e.g., “World War I,” “Spanish Flu Pandemic,” “Great Depression”), and a binary shock_flag indicating whether a crisis occurred (1 = crisis). The data enables researchers to overlay historical shocks onto demographic, economic, or social analyses to study the impacts of wars, pandemics, and economic downturns on European societies.
