After doing some reading I've noticed that migrations thousands of years ago are often referenced as reasons for the y-DNA frequencies we see today as with the Indo Europeans, Celts, Romans, Germanic and Slavic peoples. My question is what impact did the wars of the last 500 years in Europe have on the y-DNA frequencies we see today? Millions of people, generations of young men, villages and towns were destroyed because of the Religious, Napoleanic, and World Wars. What type of bottlenecks did these wars create? Do Y-DNA samples from prior to 1500 AD show different frequencies than what we see in Europe today?
