famine

Famine is a serious shortage or lack of food for many people. During the famine people are hungry, malnourished, hungry, and often die. A famine occurred in Ireland in 1845. There was a famine called a great famine. It continued until about 1850, but the worst year was between 1845 and 1849. It is estimated that some 1 million people died at the end of the famine and an additional 1 million Irish immigrants died. The population of Ireland has exceeded 8 million in 1841, but by 1851 the population has decreased to about 6.5 million people.

A great famine known as Irish potato famine, Irish great famine, or Irish famine in 1845 to 1949 was a poor crop for several years. Crop failures are caused by diseases that destroy plague, potato leaves and edible roots and tubers. The causative agent of the plague is Phytophthora infestans. Famine in Ireland was the worst famine in Europe in the 19th century. In the early nineteenth century, tenant farmers in Ireland had difficulty in providing themselves and supplying British grain markets, especially as a class of western Ireland. Many farmers have existed for a long time at a self-sufficiency level, as their distribution is small and the land is being used for agriculture in some areas.

The greatest famine in Ireland occurred in the middle of the 19th century caused by the death of the potatoes and hit Ireland in 1845 (Grada, "The Great Famine of Ireland" 43). As Ireland relies heavily on potatoes in its daily diet (Grada, "Irish Great Famine" 43), it destroys most crops and becomes "fatal". This resulted in a great deal of food, many of whom died of other diseases caused by starvation and famine (Grada, "Great Famine in Ireland" 51). In the 19th century Ireland had lost its own parliament so "All legislative and administrative rights are concentrated in Westminster", the British parliament of the British government
