Yes, especially wars also tend to seriously disturb family planning.
My grandparents all were around 30 on my fathers side and even older on my mothers side when they became parents.
Reason for that: WWII happened...
Before and after the wars, numbers were significantly different. My mother was nineteen when I was born in the mid 70s. But that also was around the time when that started to change in our country, triggered by the more widespread availability of contraceptives and an increase of women's education level.
