centering a caption under a table












0















I have a table with two columns and 12 rows.
I require the table to appear on the left hand side of the page (which I can do), however, the caption is centered on the page.
I would like to place the caption underneath the table, and have it centered underneath the table.
The output is shown below.enter image description here



documentclass[12pt,english]{article}
usepackage{caption}
begin{document}
begin{table}[H]
begin{tabular}{|c|>{centering}p{2cm}|}
hline
Year & Population (millions)tabularnewline
hline
$1900$ & $1650$tabularnewline
$1910$ & $1750$tabularnewline
$1920$ & $1860$tabularnewline
$1930$ & $2070$tabularnewline
$1940$ & $2300$tabularnewline
$1950$ & $2560$tabularnewline
$1960$ & $3040$tabularnewline
