Hi favour,I loved the video so much,thanks for releasing so often.
Cab you plz react the the british crusade against slavery(Thats the name of the video btw).
oversimplified, he's a god
To answer your question was division a good idea,no it was not because the new statelet included a large minority catholic population that were heavily discriminated against by the protestant majority. Voting rights were based on property and the protestants owned virtually all the property which meant that 33% minority catholics had virtually no voting rights.The more houses you owned the more votes you had ,so a protestant who owned 5 houses had 5 votes whereas a catholic who didn't own a house had no vote.Then catholics could only get the lowest paid jobs so it was very hard for them to get on the property ladder and therefore without change which came later,they would never be able to vote.

not so friendly reminder that the great famine wasn't just "HahA SilLy IriSh No hAVe PotatoEs" it was a genocide. thank you and goodnight
As not everyone lives in Ireland, or comes from that culture, it's probably best not to alienate them, so that they think that England had a point. Keep sharp.
I thought the potatoes were in short supply because of the potato desease !!!
@@nigelpilgrim4232 They were, but it wasnt that we just loved potatoes. Irelands land was some of the best for growing food and for keeping cattle. the problem was that England took and exported all this food to England. so all we had left was potatoes as it was easy to grow.
@@bluenimzy8656 Really?? Idiot
It wasn’t a bloody genocide, it was a famine. Why does every country have to cling to its old tales of victimhood?
Ireland is not the UK, boils my blood.
The North of Ireland is. The republic isn't all of Ireland.
@@markjohnson9476 it soon will be you clown TAL
Northern Ireland is, and it is their choice to remain British remember !
Ireland is all of Ireland for ever get over it, United ireland on the way and there's nothing you can do about it, it's happening whether you like it or not, TAL 🇮🇪
@@davidpurcell8189Yeah! Suck it up.
Ireland had plenty of food during the famine. The soil was amazing for feeding cows and groqing other crops. The reason there was no food is because the Brits were exporting it all to Britain and watching us starve.
Bullshit. The Poms had monocultures growing because that was profitable. Farmers do the same thing today. It’s childish to turn the tragedy into a morality play.
That is why it was less a famine and more of a genocide.
@@gerardflynn3899 it was a genocide when British saw the plague coming from other European countries and retracted aid as a new member of parlament returned from india with the idea that starvation was natural selection and tis caused a million deaths.
We fought for centuries not decades. Erin go bragh 🇮🇪☘️

It wasn't that the Irish loved potatoes, the English shipped all other produce back to England, even during the famine.
Be careful when talking about Irish Bloody Sundays since there was 3. The one you asked about in the video was Bloody Sunday in 1920. British troops marched into a Gaelic football (Irish football) match and opened fire on the crowd.
4 but yeah
you forgot the tank
You forgot to add 'For shits and giggles'.
@@WannabeMarsanach Nobody in Ireland or Britain do anything unless it is for shits and giggles, it should just go without saying.
A lot happened in 1920. War of independence, civil war.
Potatoes - as well as tomatoes - did not exist in the old world (Europe) as it was indigenous to the American continent - until the mid 1500s.
This is true. When one thinks of potatoes, one should really think of Peru. They have countless varieties.
Britain would only give food to starving peasants in the great famine if they built roads to nowhere or converted to protestantism.
They also intercepted shipments of aid from other nations in case it made the crown look bad internationally

Thanks for video!
It. was. a. genocide.
Correct.
The famine was not a famine, it was a genocide.
*Fun Fact:* Between 1845 and 1850, Abdülmecit Han, sultan of the Ottoman Empire of time, sent 5 sailboats full of food, medicine and seeds to Ireland, which was one of the countries affected by the *famine* in Europe, and helped the Irish people.

True story. It's never been forgotten.
Amazing! It really shows the kindness of the people of your beautiful country! So sad to see the tragedy that has struck you guys. Stay strong in these tough times and I will be praying for you!🇮🇪❤️🇹🇷
Brits intercepted alot of them boats sent and kept them , 🐍
The Irish never got those deliveries.
@@dogstar5572 Interesting
21:58 "If they wanted to make Ireland one country again could they?"
Yes, that is one of the main points of the North Ireland agreement, backed by UK, EU and USA. When a majority of the North Irish population want to be reunited referendum will be hold in both Ireland and North Ireland and if both want to unite they will be).
Sorry but this presenter is badly prepared
As much as I would like to see all 32 counties able to vote in such a referendum it is in fact a border poll that was agreed upon and even if the majority vote in favour of United Ireland it is ultimately up to the British government to decide the fate of the six counties according to GFA.
@@witchplease2631 stomps feet and holds her breath at the border???
@@witchplease2631 add in that if the UK was ever legitimately scared of losing the North they could always just pump in more loyalists from Britain like they have in the past
It is getting there. The northern Irish are getting screwed once again by the British.
1842 to 1852 wasn't a famine as 20 Million tonnes of food was exported every year from Ireland during those years
You should look at the connections between the Irish and the choctow nations
Don't forget, throughout the Great Hunger Ireland was a net exporter of food.
That's not true, lookup the stats; In 1847, at the height of the Famine, Ireland exported 39,000 tonnes of wheat, and 98,000 tonnes of oats , and imported 199,000 tonnes of wheat, 12,000 tonnes of oats and 682,000 tonnes of maize.
@@malcolmstead272 Look up the amount of beef, milk and cheese. Those were huge exports.
2 million dead from British genocide. 2 million emigrated. 1846. Not many young men left to defend Ireland. 200, 000 men left to fight in WW1 for the British. Most died.
1:30 No! There were no potatoes in Europe until the Spanish discovered them in South America in the 16th century and "imported" them.
3:20 You didn't know the Romans invaded Britain? Who do you think built Hadrian's wall?
4:00 "Saint Patrick was a real person." What did you think? That some Irish guys invented him for fun?
4:44 What??? Vikings were of Germanic origin, not Celtic. That's like mixing up Romance people (like Italians) with Slavs (like Russians). All they have in common (origin-wise) is that they are both Indo-European groups.
18:40 "Kaiser" is German for "Emperor". Like the Russian word "Tsar" "Kaiser" is derived from the Latin name/word "Caesar".
24:30 They did not summarize the history of Ireland from 600 AD til now. They started several thousands years BC.
Sorry, but sometimes I have the feeling you're just pretending to be uneducated, because so much ignorance can't be real.
Ah, you brave soul! You still have faith...😉

Dark fact: In England (up until very recently) all shops and pubs shared the one sign: “No blacks, No Irish, No dogs”. My grandparents were refused services and were very badly discriminated against (I’m Irish btw).
Sorry for the correction. It was "no blacks, no dogs, no Irish" we were less than dogs. My father experienced this, so went to the guarantee from the Irish community, who stole most of his wages (1960s)
Think it was up till some time in the 1980s that shops still had those signs up
Yah I was in London late 80s saw those signs as well.Heartless 🛑
From Dublin Ireland like your show the brits have done this all over the world
From an Irishman who is also a radical nationalist, no, they did not!
Huh, this was not a new battle. The Irish have struggled the British for THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

Ireland's Newgrange monument is officially classified as being older than the Pyramids in Egypt. Ireland was a very rich Stone age (Mesolithic) and Bronze age (Neolithic) culture and country.....Perhaps more advanced than Britain was for Millenia!
I doubt Newgrange is older than the Pyramids I think the pyramids are a pre flood construction
It’s a pile of bloody rocks, you could knock it up in a weekend with two navvies and a wheelbarrow :)
@davethebrahman9870 ooh, them's fightin' words to an archeologist!
In the video it said it was older than the pyramids in Egypt. Keep up.
@@davethebrahman9870 God, you're really showing yourself up. Newgrange is ceremonial, astrological and spiritual world protected site that was built over 5000 years ago to capture the winter solstice in the interior chamber. Only at that time of the year will light flood into the chamber. The people who built it were ahead of their time and extremely intelligent.
You seem to be under the impression that the native population of Northern Ireland adopted Protestantism and British culture. They didn’t. The plantations dispossessed the native Irish and evicted them from their land. They were replaced by Scottish and English planters who took up possession of the land. The present Protestants in Northern Ireland are descended from these original planters. Northern Ireland is split about 50/50 between Nationalists and Unionists.
The native people of northern Ireland for centuries were the same as Scots on the south west.
The People in ancient Egypt were not hunter-gatherers. Major Cities already existed and Egypt was one of the biggest Civilizations in the bronze age when they build the Pyramids. And workers (not slaves) pulled the blocks over ramps using sledges, tracks and rope rolls.
I am an Irish man and I thank you for your understanding x
There are also famous songs called "Sunday Bloody Sunday" from the Band U2 and "Zombie" from "The Cranberries", which still have impact.

With regard to your question about the North and if they are happy still being part of the UK. Lets just say "Its complicated" I suggest checking out the history of "The Troubles" a very understated name for what happened next.
Yeah if you also want more dramatized version of life during the troubles theres also the Sitcom Derry Girls.
Complicated is one way to put it
@@Soyga13a absolute disaster that’s gonna cause the deaths of hundreds is a better way to put it
yes
Complicated yep that's the only way to say it 👍
13:41 Ireland is like No 80th in the world of Potato production, and even in the 1840s the poor Irish lived on potatoes, but it was Trevelyan's corn that was the cash crop of Ireland and was for export so not made available to the Irish common people even if they starved.
'if you want to rule, fine, just make sure we're heard'... THAT is the problem. we didn't want to be invaded and ruled by greedy, malevolent intruders on our land. what's ours is ours, we didn't try to take anybody else's land or people
Go n'éirí an t-ádh leat ☘
Respect & Peace ☘
Not all the people that lived in northern Ireland were loyal to the Brits there were alot of Catholics that lived there that wanted a united Ireland.
The majority rule though !
Celts and vikings were different peoples .They would have been similar in that they were european ,but lingustically they were very different they would have been closer to the germanic peoples than the celts.
The Shamrock ☘️ has only tree leaves as in Trinity 😊
We didn't want to be under British rule at any time regardless of how considerate they were of us, they were colonisers, butchers and theives,
We wanted our country back and were fighting from British oppression, there would be no compromise on our freedom ( patriotic)
they shouldn't have been here and wanted them out,
" go on British soldiers go on home "
The North was never your Ireland it has for thousands of years been linked with Scotland. The people you call the Irish were the colonisers who drove the native Irish to the North.
Michael Collins was not mention disgraceful
Ireland is prospering, but through the centuries of oppression it didn't have capital present and had to sell out to international business to get an economy up and running. When you have to import capital you have to compromise.
There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those who are Irish and those who wish they where Irish. 😂🇮🇪✌🍀☘💚💚
No we did not embrace British culture in the north… we had no choice. There were more Protestants here,and we catholics had no choice
Portadown massacre was carried out by the Irish against English settlers not the other way
yes well said.
why do english have to get stuck in everything ur acting like the english settlers did nothing to the irish.they murdered huge amounts of people
the division is not so simplistic, the division was based on politics, culture religion community and propaganda, etc 💚🤍🧡☘☘
Irish here. Useful fact. The ships that ferried the Irish out of Ireland were nicknamed the "coffin ships". Also, I am Irish and I do not drink, its just a stereotype lol
Indeed, an outdated sterotype also because the highest percentage of non-drinkers are in Ireland.
I am Irish on both sides of family, One side came over in 1700'c, settled in New Orleans. Irish are working class in that city. Great grandfather told to marry up, Great grandmother is French. Yes we are Creole, Grandma made the best gumbo for us.
Brian Boru was an Irish king that was the last king I believe to beat the Vikings and ended their invasion on Ireland. Many were set up here and Integrated which is where the Viking blood in Irish come from.
Modern Ireland is very developed and the Silicon Valley of Europe largely due to American investment after they joined the EU.
8:30 no it really couldn't, the irish wanted the english fully gone
Moon Lord? Like that lunatic fool on Tim Pool's fascist fun house?
genghis pie where did you get that from .Whatever it is we don't eat it and therefore no need to worry
Chicken fillet roll is our culture now
Great video, great reaction! I’m from Cork city (down south 😆)
Egypt or Lebanon. Omg. I bailed at that.
I'd recommend "A Super Quick History of Northern Ireland" to complement this video
The great famine was a European wide potato blight, the reason it affected the Irish so badly was that because of the anti Catholic laws, Catholics weren’t allowed to own land and the farms were owned by absentee landlords who shipped out meats, grains, dairy and alcohol to England daily while the native Irish starved, it was an attempted genocide, the reason Britishness was embraced by some in the north was that they were planters shipped in from Scotland and England to displace the native Irish.
The show you were referring to is "outlander," where the characters are jamie and claire Fraser 😊😊
I like your interest in history
2 million died in the famine and 2 million left for other countries, just a slight correction 😉
Also, next time you hear the Irish being referred to as lucky, remember that it is a British slur against Irish people.
Famine- no the English starved the Irish, look it up
Bloody Sunday was a peaceful march ;ed by a catholic priest for peace when the british soldiers shot and killed people
11:25, the show you were referring to was Outlander
Northern Ireland Protestants wanted to remain with England but their were Catholics that lived in NI wanted to join Irish Republic
Favour this was amazing
People that didn’t want the treaty didn’t want the country divided, it was all island or war.
Yea Ireland is the Silicon Valley of Europe
You can see why we're still a little bit salty with the English, plus they still occupy the North of Ireland
They dont "occupy" it. The people of Northern Ireland have free votes like everyone else. They choose to
remain British.
3 leaf Shamrock ☘️ not 4leaf clover 🍀🤣🇮🇪
The Irish went to the USA because they did not want to become Anglicanized even though they would enjoy English privileges, and in the end they had to abandon their culture in the USA and become Anglicanized in order to join the Anglicanized USA. All the effort to preserve the culture was in vain, because in the end everyone adopted the English language in Ireland, because the elite in the new country was Anglicanized and continued Anglicanization.

Yer am from Liverpool n Aton of our population is Irish n heritage mine is Irish my great grandparents r Republic of Ireland n 1 still alive n he speak Gaelic
go back to ireland
Kaiser is the Germanic version of Caesar. Tsar is the Russian
The british have to honour the norths wishes ,because of an international treaty called the belfast agreement.The Protestants are no longer in the majority in Northern Ireland so though it doesn't mean they will vote to join the south ,it does mean its a realistic possibility.
And lose £15 Billion a year? Won't happen.
I don't think you know how deep the grudge against the Brits go. The IRA came into being for a reason. It still exists for a reason.
Irish were Pagan until the arrival of Christianity circa 400AD.
Nice video- subscribed
Forty Eight hundred years in twenty-five minutes.🤣😂🤣😂
This video is beyond the pale.
portadown was a massacre of protestant scots by Catholic irish
😂 I enjoyed your reaction .
Understand that faith is power. Control over faith is access to vast amounts of wealth and power. Henry the 8th understood that and this is why he brock with the catholic church. The high Anglican and Catholic churches have only a very few differences in theology but because it was a challenege to the power of the pope and the unity of catholicism it could not be tollerated. That is why pople had to die; not because of what they belived but because of who gets to tell them what to belive.
In the show Outlander the English, not Irish “win”. So much for your favorite show. “What were the Protestants doing to help these people?” Made me laugh outloud.
I grew up in a area that was known as “the Irish Settlement “ here in Michigan. My great great grandparents came here during the famine. They built a church and a Catholic school because as my grandfather would say it was down right dangerous to be Irish and Catholic in this country.
The potato came from Sr Walter Raleigh. It came from Peru. It was planted in Ireland to feed the poor.
Also due to subdivision of land
We, like many countries back then, were mainly pagans. our museums have these really cool statues that represent female goddesses that women would have during births to help with bringing the baby to come in safe. they also have old weapons and broches and other decorative items worn by higher up chieftains, we even have bog bodies which show old sacrificed individuals who were clearly put in the bog as a sacrifice to the gods. like the video says it was only with st patrick that Christianity came to us and even then it was pretty slow going because ireland is steeped in tradition and superstition. even today there are people who hold on to the old ways of pagan celebrations.
Northern Ireland is more the English gave land to Scottish that supported the crown. Just think hillbillies here. They are scotts Irish not Irish. That's a deeper dive even I'm still learning about. But they wasn't welcome around Boston and new York or Pennsylvania and took to the mountains (highlanders)
Ireland was divided by british policy. Ireland will soon be united as One Country.
It’s my understanding as well that many of the people of Irish-Scot heritage in the states, whose families immigrated pre-revolution where Highlanders and Irish who fled after the Williamite wars.
One of the signers of the Declaration of independence family was one of these, Button Gwinnett.
To note, many of the Irish and Scot immigrants fought in the Revolutionary war despite not wanting to be involved in another British conflict.
After the war many of the veterans were granted land within the colonies except those of Irish or Scottish decent unless they were of extreme upper status. They were cast away and relegated to the territories outside colonial control, Indian territory.
Now You see why we don't like being being included the the English and the UK
‘This could have been solved by representation…’ Yes, and they could have elected a Leprechaun Prime Minister.
brilliant video
You do have to follow up on the portadown massacre as you have the wrong end of the stick, what happened in portadown happened all over the island,
Wouldn't go to Australia?? My grandmother came from Galway in the early 20th century, while her brother went to Chicago. I'm really glad I'm in Australia and not Chicago. Kangaroos and all.
The north of Ireland(northern ireland) didnt adopt english or protestant values or their way of life. The protestant settlers which came to ireland during the plantation made it their home and it became majority protestant. there was a minority of catholics who were against british rule. this bacame what was known as the troubles from the late 60s to 1998. the troubles was not really a civil war but there was lots of fighting in northern ireland. you should do a video on the troubles. nowadays the population is now roughly 50/50 catholic and protestant.
Ireland destroyed the English empire the uprising in 1916 and defeating them for the independence of the republic made other colonised countries fight back and gain their freedom countries like india who won back their freedom a few years later. By ireland actions it made the English empire look like it wasn’t as strong as people thought at the time. So it started rebellions in a lot of their colonised countries.
While you're right qbout the inspiration in no shape 9f form did we destroy the english
@@donncha-fv7neThey said the Irish destroyed the British 'Empire'. Not by personally destroying them but by revealing a chink in their armour. The world saw the Empire as indestructible but Ireland's success broke the spell and opened the floodgates for the destruction.
Modern Irish food is amazing
The Good Friday Agreement governs the status of Northern Ireland. Under the GFA a united Ireland is possible if their is popular support.
Thank you for doing Ireland I'm Irish l😅
All I ever heard about St.Patrick was that he drove all the snakes out of Ireland.
Bye the way the Irish famine didn't effect just Ireland many Welsh, Scottish and English emigrated to the USA, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia to avoid starvation. It did effect Ireland the most both fiscally and personally as it happened in that country, but the UK was dependant on the export of the crop. Many blamed it on the Irish not looking after their soil, this is not correct as most of eastern Europe, whom were growing potato's were affected.
