Not always... especially on the losing side. Imagine; the roman's have just conquered a country - it's full of famine, homelessness and until they decide it's in their interests to occupy properly, the population dwindles a LOT...

If there are no men around, there tend to be no little men around (despite what you amazonians say).

However, I daresay you are right, and the populations in the case of the Numenoreans would have increased (or replenished) rapidly after a war.
