Myanmar's Rohingya population collapsed from over a million to under 200,000. [fact]

As of 2015, the population of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar was 1 to 1.3 million. Following the massacres and mass displacement, the figure is estimated to be 150,000 to 200,000. A staggering decline that reflects the decimation of a proud people, a people buried beneath the news headlines and lost at sea.

QUESTION: What were the precise causes and timeline of the decline beyond 'massacres and mass displacement'? The figures warrant deeper investigation into the genocide's mechanics.
