About this ebook
How did the Great Irish Famine of 1845-1852 reshape Ireland and its relationship with Britain? This book examines the causes and consequences of the Irish Potato Famine, one of the most devastating humanitarian crises in European history. It explores how a potato blight caused widespread crop failures, leading to mass starvation and disease. The narrative also discusses the British government’s inadequate response to the crisis, which fueled anger and resentment in Ireland and contributed to a wave of emigration. By analyzing the social, political, and economic impact of the famine, the book underscores how the tragedy accelerated Irish nationalist sentiment and shaped the course of Irish independence. The book also reflects on the ongoing legacy of the famine in shaping Irish identity and the diaspora’s role in global history.
