Fun Fact: During the 2020 Pandemic, The Irish were sending donations to the Indian Americans (Choctaw Tribe) who were struggling during the pandemic to thank them for the support they sent to help the Irish ($5,000 in today's money) during the famine.
The Irish got their buddies backs!
Native American*
It wasn't actually the Choctaw who we sent the money to. It was the Navajo and Hopi tribes. The Choctaw were the motivation though.
It was the turks 🇹🇷 who helped us during the famine or genocide
@@Ceiteach.O.Duibhir The Choctaw also helped. The Ottoman Empire had a f*cktonne of money at the time and the Sultan wanted to give us more than Victoria but was told not to. The Choctaw people had literally nothing but scraped up 170 dollars, which was a lot at the time, to send to a people they had never met or probably even heard of before it happened. Dunno how many lives they saved but as a gesture of goodwill from strangers it meant a lot more than the money it was worth.
We English were never taught about these horrors in history lessons of the suffering by of our neighbour Ireland. The british establishment truly were barbaric.
It was Nassau Senior if you're good at pattern recognition.
During the famine, about one million people died and a million more emigrated from Ireland causing the island's population to fall by between 20% and 25%

The Irish are staunch supporters of the Palestinian cause and they sent them money to rebuild what Israel has destroyed in the last conflict. Their politicians also spoke up for us on many occasions
I love the Irish and I'm grateful for their support

The Ottoman Caliph was more concerned about the Irish than the British Queen HAHA
He was a very charitable Caliph

The English establishment at the time had a very dim view of the Irish. More than a few were happy to see the Irish population severely reduced.

Modern tarihte İngiltere'nin en büyük baş belası olan IRA'nın kuruluşunda Türklerin de etkisi var.
Türklerin İrlandalılarla olan ilişkisi Sultan Abdülmecid zamanına kadar gidiyor.
19. yüzyılın başlarında İrlandalılar İngilizler'e karşı mücadele içindeydi. Katolik İrlandalılar, kabul etmedikleri Anglikan Kilisesi'ne vergi vermeyi hazmedemiyorlardı. İngilizlerden din ve dil ekseninde ayrılıyorlardı.
Ancak 1840'lı yıllarda İrlanda büyük bir kıtlık başgösterdi. Yoksulların temel yiyeceği patates üretimi durma noktasına geldi. 800 bin kişi öldü, İrlandalıların hak mücadelesi zayıfladı.
İngilizler bu zayıflık durumundan faydalanırken 1847 yılında padişah Abdülmecid'in emriyle üç gemi dolusu patates yardımı İrlanda'ya Kraliçe Victoria'nın tüm engellemelerine rağmen ulaştı.
Geminin Dublin Limanı'na yanaşmasını İngilizler engelleyince gemi yüklerini Drogheda Limanı'na boşalttı.

It wasn't a Famine. It was a Massacre
Also as an Irishman, I've seen many people today still hold strong grudges against the British for what happened.
Please don’t blame me for history. As long as we hold on to grudges we cannot heal. My ancestors fled to Scotland from Ireland only to be pushed South to Manchester. I was born in England but I have Irish and Scottish blood.
Rightfully so.
@@lindajames7083 I don't think he means we would hold grudges against individual people for history. I think its more of an emotional "f***in brits" after watching a video like that. Thankfully relations have improved drastically both between our governments and people
That's like me being angry at Italians, Swedes and Danes of today🤷🏻♂️
@@lindajames7083 nah they blame you because they ignorant and everyone need a scapegoat
Fun fact: King George III (the "tyrant", according to Americans) actually prevented the famine from starting sooner by limiting the exports of food from Ireland to England. The Irish were on the verge of starvation long before the potato blight because of abusive landlords.
A factor this video doesn't touch on is the conflict between Catholics and Protestants in Britain, which is the basis for why the Irish were being abused. Like most monarchies, the British royalty and nobility used religion as justification for their right to rule. For most of Christianity's history, the Pope was considered God's representative, and if a king didn't comply with what the Pope said, the Pope could basically strip that king of his legitimacy. However, when King Henry VIII converted to Protestantism, he basically said that the Pope's authority was invalid and it was the king who was God's representative and had absolute right to rule. However, people who remained Catholic were loyal to the Pope. Thus, they were considered enemies of the state, since if they didn't believe in the legitimacy of the King, how could they be trusted to follow his laws? How could they be trusted not to overthrow the Protestant king and replace him with a Catholic king? This was the basis of the English Civil War and many other religious conflicts in Europe.
One of the ways the Protestants managed this issue was to forbid Catholics from participating in politics so they couldn't influence the law. However, since part of the way that people got the right to participate in politics was by owning land or other significant property, they didn't just bar Catholics from holding political office, they also forbad them from owning any amount of property that would grant them any political influence. They also didn't want Catholics to be involved in enforcing the law by becoming lawyers or judges.
In short, the Catholics were stripped of any ability to defend themselves from abuse, and Protestants removed all the social safeguards that normally mitigate abuse. The social and economic position Catholics were put in was very similar to the one Black people were put in after the abolishment of slavery in the US. So, of course, there was a LOT of abuse.
Ireland didn't convert to Protestantism as easily as England, Scotland, and Wales, in part because the English had been mistreating the Irish before the Protestant Revolution, and the Irish weren't keen on converting to their oppressor's religion. In fact, there was a failed attempt at Irish independence during King Henry VIII's rule. The Irish have basically been fighting to be treated better ever since.
Ireland was and is an extremely fertile country. All through the "famine" they were growing PLENTY of food, but all the food was being exported instead of being made available to the Irish people. In 1847, one of the worst years of the "famine", 822,681 gallons of butter were exported to England, along with 9,992 calves, over 4,000 horses and ponies, 336,220 gallons of grain-derived alcohol, and other crops and livestock such as peas, beans, onions, rabbits, salmon, oysters, herring, ham, bacon, lard, honey and even potatoes(!). The reason the potato blight was a problem wasn't because potatoes were the only crop that could grow in Ireland; it was because potatoes were the only crop that produced enough calories to sustain Irish tenant farmers on the tiny bits of land they were permitted to use for themselves. When the potato crops failed, the English and Protestant Irish landlords fought tooth and nail to prevent any of their cash crops from being used to feed the farmers who were growing them.
The Irish Potato Famine is a misnomer - it was religiously justified genocide centuries in the making. This is proved by the fact that King George III stepped in and forced landlords to offer other food to the Irish during bad harvests long before the potato blight showed up.
(If any of this is wrong, please feel free to correct me. I'm just a history nerd with some Irish ancestry and an interest in 18th century British history.)
TBF irish landlords today are also complete twats
Mad King George, as he was better known to everyone else.
This is one of the most reasonable comments I've read here.
But y'all missing a crucial point. Irish population had increased massively the decades before the famine, sustained mostly by those potatoes. If you average the increase of population and later decrease, situation was normal on a Malthusian way.
Could have been prevented if the land was better managed, but it was mainly owned by greedy locals, who have been also forgotten in the fantastic tale that was created to fuel hatred towards the brits and push for Irish nationalism.
Not sure if a commie gov would have done better, seen how they managed famines during the XXth century.
Stalin just got inspired
Ive heard some gruesome tales about the religious battles in ireland. There was a video on youtube detailing how neighbors would just beat the shit out of each other with pitchforks, leave each other to freeze and drown in the mud. I dont remember all the details but it sounded like a bunch of Amish people going completely nuts and butchering each other in the worst ways. I can only imagine what it would look like on film... Ill never forget that video when blacks just say shit like "white people only care about white people" LOL like yeah dude right.
Wow, I had never heard the Ottoman Empire part to the story, very fascinating.
Even more fascinating was that during the Trail of Tears the charokee/Navajo nation's sent 167 dollars for the starved Irish(when being displaced from their lands)
We Paid this back when COVID struck , donations from Ireland exceeded 2million euro. Tog go bog e cara 🕊️
No wonder I have always liked the Irish more than the English. The English nobility and their elite ruling classes have always arseholes. Just the fact that they tried to prevent other groups from providing assistance to save people dying of starvation because it made England look like the greedy bastards that they were is reason to hate them. The fact that they thought the famine was Devine punishment of the Irish ~ shows how morally twisted they were. They wonder why they are one of the least liked countries in the world? Just look at world history. This was a genocide.
@@kirpdeb Queen Elizabeth II is a descendant of Brian Boru the Irish King who invaded, enslaved and colonised Britain long before Ireland, under a Scottish King, was colonised. She is also a descendent of James the Scottish King, not to mention many English have Irish ancestors, so your hatred for the English and love for the Irish is illogical or just tedious racism.
@@kirpdeb So you're hating today's English for what the 'English' nobility did. Nice. I don't like you either, whichever rock you crawled out of.
@@geovanniali6060 the brıtısh empıre they changed the language of the Irısh also !
Why did the Famine kill so many Irish people? Because the occupying English had robbed them of 90% of their farmland and completely prevented them from having an independent source of food.
Just think ___ If the white Christian England can do to white Christian Ireland, what level of cruelty it could do to non Christian non white colonies! One will shudder if one imagine about it. This is the past of the saviour of humanity. Ha ha ha.
The Irish Holodomor! :'(
Interestingly, the Choctaw Nation (which itself had recently been coerced off its ancestral lands in the American South under tremendous hardships, including starvation) even sent aid to Ireland because quite a few Irishmen had been adopted into the tribe by marrying Choctaw women and swearing an oath of allegiance.
The Irish Potato "famine" wasn't a famine - it was a genocide conducted by the english on their imperial subjects (something they did multiple times afterwards i.e., in bengal, and continue to do to this day).
The holodomor in contrast was the result of a genuine inability to manage food production for an unprecedented population boom. Following the overwhelming success of the bolshevik revolution, the peasants of the former russian empire were turned from backwater subsistence farmers into industrious citizens. Life expectancy was raised at a rate never before witnessed in human history (nearly doubled) within a couple decades. The ussr didn't have 500 years of slavery and a hemisphere's worth of fertile land like the imperial core. That, in combination with such rapid successful industrialization, was the actual cause of the holodomor.
@@af8828 How can a mold noone control be a genocide? sure the actions they took is awfull. But the holodomor killed millions. Thats a genocide
The Holodomor was a famine caused by government mismanagement. The Irish famine was caused by disease and impaired by government mismanagement. Millions died because government arbitration failed and stifled the acts of charity by others. Stop sucking off the Soviets so hard. They were inept autocrats just like the imperialists that came before them, except that they didn’t allow any personal or economic freedom under the heels of their boots. Communism was the greatest evil of the 20th century, with Mao and Stalin directly responsible for the deaths of more people than the fascists and colonial powers combined.
*Don't you know you can't mention the Holodomor, that would make the Soviet Union look bad*
@@af8828 you need to look up the definition of the word holodomor (genocide is literally IN the name)
So Muslims decided to help the Irish Catholics considering it their religious duty.
Meanwhile the Christian British considered it God's punishment and not only didn't help but tried to stop the Muslim's help.
That says a lot!
Generally Cousins in faith (sects) are the worst enemies a man can ever see.
That belief was limited to certain British statesman in influential places like the treasury. I'd suggest reading up on the different administrations during the famine.
@@pecadodeorgullo5963

Even the people of Britain didnt do much. And they didnt convince their government to help.
Even the audacity of such a statement speaks volumes about their culture and belief.
@@drpk6514 you would know this how? Did you study the famine and how it was dealt with by certain individuals? Do you know about the two government administrations during the famine? Do you know what class was affected by the famine? Do you know that both protestants and Catholics left during the famine? Do you know who the likes of Charles Trevelyan or Robert Peel are?
@@pecadodeorgullo5963 What a load of nonsense.
Do you know the result of famine and the actions of different countries?
You take small scales and blow them up while ignoring the real facts and outcomes.
Before the starvation 8 million people lived in Ireland. After the famine 3 million were still there. Today there are close to 5 million. It was said in Parliament that the famine would not kill enough Irish to make a difference. Enough food left Ireland every week to feed the country twice over. The Protestant churches opened soup kitchens but demanded that any receiver desert Catholicism and convert yo Protestantism. Most Irish Catholics would rather starve. This was not a famine. It was genocide.
😮 they had to “take the soup.”
Thank you Turks and the Choctaw nation
Not just about potatoes. When people have to pay most of what they produce as rent to landlords the smallest wobble results in hardships. In the decades that followed this pattern was repeated in other colonies such as India
Irish landlords .
@@raysargent4055 By the mid 1800s 97% of all land in Ireland was owned by mainly British landowners. Most Irish people were tenants at will and could be thrown off their tiny plots of land without notice.
Still happens in India nothing to do with colonisation
@@Adaman368 the only Irish landlord that did anything to help was an ulster man.
By Indian land lords.
I am still not comfortable with calling it a "famine". It was *only* a "famine" in as much as the Irish were not allowed to keep any of the crops they grew, *other* than the potato.
This was a holocaust. Not a famine.
The royals are devil worshippers. Freemasons. Wokeism comes from the royals. Famine is Satan’s agenda. So are our current conflicts and disasters.
They could of gone fishing.
@@markws5952 Well no in a country of 8 million people, many who lived many days walk from the ocean and who were literally starving couldn't have just "gone fishing". Rivers ditto where the fishing rights were owned by mainly British landowners. But yes in those areas where people had access to the sea - they did do somewhat better than those who hadn't such access. Not that the British administration gave a feq eitherway.
@@Adaman368 should of shown a bit of gumption and caught more fish
Stop blaming your woes on the big meany Brits.
Do you honestly thing the lower classes in England weren't being fucked over at the same time 🤔
@@markws5952 Gumption? 🤣. Twat! The English were suffering were they? Would that because of all the food exported to England during the famine from Ireland. Did the English have a administration orchrastrate a genocide on them after they had been brutally invaded, colonised over a period of some 700 years?
Did a million English people die because food which would have fed them was being shipped out of their country? Did they have ra cist cnuts like Charles Trevelyan who said of the famine in Scotland "that the people must not be left starve" but that the Irish should?
Btw your rac ist comment just got shaddowbanned ;) Funny that.
Thank you so much for this video. We've traced our Irish ancestors as to having come to America during the famine. This helped me understand that move much better.
What he is not covering is that Ireland was full of food during the famine. But owned by the large landlords and exported for profit.
Yup by the mid 1800s some 97% of all land in Ireland was owned by British Landowners many who were absente landlords whonlivdd elsewhere.
It was bought by Ephrasi who worked for Rothschild. The food of Europe was being bought up for the 1848 Revolutions
During the famine, about one million people died and a million more emigrated from Ireland causing the island's population to fall by between 20% and 25%
>>>>Laws that restricted the rights of Irish Catholics
@@markrock442 yeah, if I remember correctly, a lot of that maize was imported during the Peel administration as a way to keep the food price stable in ireland so the pay from the public works would be enough to keep the irish fed. However, the Russel administration didn't do this which led to inflation of prices and led to the incomes from the public works to below what was needed for survival. This is also why one historian (I forgot his name) said that even if britain banned the irish landlords and big irish farmers from exporting food, the cottier class of irish still would've starved due to them being too poor to afford them. It should also be noted that the famine crippled the landlord class since many were dependent on their tenants to grow their cash crops so when they either left (it was better being landless because you could receive aid) or died, they either went bankrupt or came close to it.
Hey Knowledgia! Thanks a lot for this very objective and correct explanation of history free from any political influence. The Ottoman Empire indeed tried to help the Irish people. Thank you.

@@milos.pavlovic Extra taxation on Christians is nothing compared to what the British did to the Irish. All people suffer under and against empires but what makes this such a remarkable and beautiful act is how it wasn't done to seek any benefits whatsoever. Completely heartfelt humanitarian help against all odds which is the rising British empire. Not to mention the Ottomans weren't in a good condition themselves…
The English hated the Irish & the Irish demise was not a concern for them. Even Churchill referred to "the Irish problem."
Churchill didn't like the Irish because they were pretending to be neutral in WW2 but still refuelled German U Boats which then sank allied shipping. After the war they blacklisted anyone who had fought for the allies and made it impossible for them to find work. Those people then emigrated which the Irish government thought was great because they already had too many people. All the while bleating on about how they are the victims of oppression. Yewn. Same old. I'm with Churchill.
@@terrynpiper7667 No they didn't refuel U boats. Thats NI loyalist bedtime stories. Look it up.
Nor did the Irish "pretend to be neutral". Not only did the cooperate with the allies. They Irish provided weather forecast and intelligence which helped the allies win the war. The most famous of which was the advance weather reports with allied the D Day landings to go ahead. Downed and allied personal were released unlike German pow who were interned for the duration of the War. Flight corridors for allied airplanes were also allowed. Amazing you see these type of hairy stories repeated by the same people.
@@terrynpiper7667 why in the name of god would they fight for churchill. Did you not just watch this video. Would england fight for a country which 50 yeats before wiped out half of there population?? Are you mad. I dont blame the irish one bit for wanting to be free from britain. They have the south i hope they get the north back too.
I just found out my great grandfather left County Kerry in 1885. This was during a mini famine that started in 1879.
Kerry is absolutely gorgeous, Mike. Hopefully you get to visit and see it for yourself one day. ☘
Ottomans show mercy and good intentions while English ignore people dying of famine and say they deserved this. Another reason to be proud of my ancestors🇹🇷😍
Ottomans were and always will be known as barbarians scum and bootlickers for British empire. Those ships that landed were already sent out before the U turn ,Britain was helping Ottomans against Russians in Crimea. Ottomans the sick man of Europe were weak and needed any help they can get
This was not the only famine to occur in this general period, a famine in the 1700s was statistically worse in Ireland but doesn't get covered as much as the so called Great Famine.
Along with that, local accounts in my area talked about how frequent Church Bells rang to mark funerals for the dead, those who could afford a funeral that is. "Never heard so many bells in one day all my life" as one account put it. An appalling state of affairs, made worse by the economic monopoly maintained by London across Ireland.
Many were buried in mass graves as was the case in the town of Cloone in County Leitrim. Some 12,000 were interred in these mass graves which led to it being pro IRA until today. The Great Famine is one thing but the “go to Hell” attitude of the English was another.
in that situation i think i would rob the ports full of ready to export grain... hunger is imo one of the few excuses i would say "ok" for stealing... and if u take food, not a tv...
The Irish famine was provoked by the Anglo Protestants to rid the island of the Irish Catholics. Big difference.
Except there was no famine in Ireland, it continued to be a net exporter of food during the blight period. Its a good example of spin
@@Finderskeepers. And despite a million people dying as a result of starvation- that food was exported by the British administration under armed guard to England and elsewhere. Great bunch of lads.
Great video! It's worth pointing out though that it wasn't caused by a fungus. Potato blight is an oomycete from the Phytophthora genus (which you do mention - water mould is an alternative name to oomycete).
Fungi and oomycetes are often conflated. Due to convergent evolution they look very similar, but oomycetes have large spore filled egg sacks, hence the "oo" part of their name meaning egg. From an evolutionary standpoint, oomycetes are heterokonts, meaning their cells have two different flagella, while fungi are opisthosporidia, which means they have only one flagella (the same as human sperm). This difference means they diverged millions of years ago even though they look very similar!

For centuries, indigenous Celtic peoples of Great Britain have been suffering endless racism discrimination from Germanic Anglo Saxon settler colonists
Yet most Celts I've met can name that 1 English grandparent or great grandparent by at least 8 generations. So there was also mixing.
My own existence is half Celtic half English. Like millions of others. How would you judge us in that demographic who don't neatly fit in your Celt vs Anglo-Saxon dichotomy when some families such as mine with this miscegenation exist.

Plus they mix with Franks who were Germanic anyway albeit with extra Gallic Celtic blood.
I don't consider anyone kin or "Angelcynn" if they look at their Germanic ancestry negatively with this leftist "colonization bad" bs.
Our ancestors won the island by the strength of God and the punishment of the Britons for their sins (as recorded by Gildas) and our Christianization indigenized us as recorded by Bede as England became Canaan to us and Hengist is our Moses while the Welsh are analogous to as Canaanite heathens punished by God as the tribes of Hebrews (Habiru) swormed into Canaan from Egypt.

I am surprised that the Irish people did not adopt the old Dutch slogan "Rather Turkish than Papist" but with the modification that make it sounds "Rather Turkish than British", and then leave for the Ottoman Empire's territories instead. Just imagine this immigration! Who knows, the Ottoman Empire might benefit from this Irish immigration just like when they welcomed the Jews and Muslims who were kicked out of Spain after the Conquest of Granada and finally catch up with the other Great Powers with the new ideas brought to the Sublime Porte.
They wouldnt benefit from the Irish. At that point they were long past their peak and still trying to get their various peoples to assimilate.

"...how do you have a famine, you have a ground everywhere." -Cory Delaminguez, 2022
It wasn't a famine it was genocide
The Anglican English had a long and deeply ingrained hatred of the Catholic Irish. The Anglican English with their pompous Monarch/Popes had conducted two earlier genocides against the Irish, the first during the reign of the Protestant Elizabeth I and the second carried out by Oliver Cromwell about a half century later. The Great Irish Potato blight was a product of nature but the neglect and policies put in place by the British Governmant ensured that hundreds of thousands of Irish would die. And this was during the time when Ireland was an integral part of the United Kingdom. Do you wonder why Nicola Sturgeon of Scotland sometimes mentions Ireland in her speeches? Two British historians recently wrote books about the Irish Famine and both came to about the same conclusion: the mass starvation of Irish could have been avoided at a reasonable cost by purchase of American/Canadian food and by blocking export of food from Ireland that was produced on the estates owned by Anglican English in Ireland. It's shocking to think that the economic interests of the Anglican English land owners and their desire for profits from Irish food exports overrode the life and death issues facing the poor starving Irish. Enough food was being produded in Ireland to feed the entire island, and Britain was at the height of its power and wealth yet chose not to intervene in a way that would have prevented thousands of Irish deaths. I really believe the English were using the famine as a weapon. Their intent was to completely annihilate and crush the Irish nation. And they came so close to achieving just this! Thousands of Irishmen dead. Millions of Irish had to flee the country. Ireland in a state of cultural and economic collapse. In thier own way the British were so much more successful that tne Germans.
History Repeats itself now with the Dutch Farmers!
Being done in by the globalist nutters.
@snickrologen - You're not blaming the English for that, I hope?! Farmers everywhere are being targetted and told to reduce their cattle by 30% or something under the banner of the 'climate crisis' because 'cow's fart too much', it's ridiculous, especially during a time when food is already in short supply. The largest fruit and vegetable producer on the Island of Jersey recently closed and they provided food for 80% of the islanders who are now relying on exports from the UK where the department of agriculture/government are already making life extremely difficult for the farmers here. There won't be enough food by a long shot and many people will die around the world and THAT'S how 'much' the governments care about the people. Meanwhile, Kill Bill Gates now owns the most farmland in the USA (known as the breadbasket of the world) so he can grow his Frankenstein GMO foods for his fake meat. No doubt he wants to own the most farmland in Europe too and he'll probably get it when the world's financially crippled farmers have to sell up. The war in Ukraine, a country known as the bread basket of Europe (I'd say Netherlands too), means little food is being grown there now, the huge gas and electricity price increases which obviously affects farmers as well as everyone else, bird flu, the neverending Covid saga with its new variants and the after effects of 'stay home, save granny don't be selfish' locking down the world for the best part of 2 years thinking that won't have a huge detrimental effect, not just economically, but mentally too and the imminent end of Fiat currency ready for the 'Great Reset' which is really a kind of Chinese Credit Score whereby they have full control of what you can and can't spend your hard earned money on and if you say anything the governments don't like, you'll be denied access to what is, or should be, rightfully yours. It's the 'perfect storm' and it's all been planned for a long time. In the words of Klaus Schwab from the World Economic Forum, 'You will own nothing and you will be happy', except people will be far from happy.

You fail to mention the potatoes are an American plant. 🥔 The Catholic Spanish introduced it for the Catholic Irish. If it wasn't Columbus the Native Americans potatoes wouldn't have fed Europe for all these centuries since 1492.
The British Empire strategic plan to seize the agricultural land of the Irish by bringing parasitic fungus from Central America. Many documentary on this too omitted the history of the Ottoman empire helping by sending food and financial relief to the people of Ireland. And what about the soup council helping the Irish on condition that the Irish converted to Protestant and leave their Catholic belief.

Title is a bit misleading........it was The Irish FAMINE. all foods went to England and the Irish were just left with rotting potatoes.
A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement.
She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!”
The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied,
“Well, I made a difference for that one!”

STOP USING THE TERM "BRITISH ISLES" FOR IRELAND!
The term British Isles is part and parcel of antiquated notions of the British empire which are long gone.
The Brits use this term for Ireland to cause conflict as it's a political term.
Even UK law uses the term British Islands to refer to the UK, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man as a single collective entity, but does not include Ireland.
The manufactured term was introduced as the British Isles in the 16th/17th centuries by English and Welsh writers for both propaganda and political reasons.
The term itself was always controversial to the Irish, but became more so after the breakup of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1922.
The term is rejected by the Irish government, the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Irish people.
The term was formally disavowed in September 2005 by the Irish Government when Foreign Minister Dermot Ahern famously stated:
"The British Isles is not an officially recognised term in any legal or inter-governmental sense. It is without any official status. The Government, including the Department of Foreign Affairs, does not use this term."
We reject it. It's just another manufactured British term to establish some sort of false dominance over another nation of people on a different island…

For some reason, I have a feeling that if that famine had been happening near London, the response would have been quite different.
Bad Karma has finally caught up with England, it seems.
That was a great video. But you must remember that the penal laws of the 18th century forced the poorest of the poor to depend on the potato. It was the only crop that was quite happy to grow halfway up a mountain. And an acre if tended with care could feed a family for a year. God brought the potato blight. But the English brought the famine. The definition of famine is a general scarcity of food. In Ireland, there was no scarcity of food. But the British laws made the Irish so poor that they could not afford to buy the produce of their own country and so it was exported to better markets.
John Lennon famously said, "I'm a musician. You give me a tuber, I'll get you something out of it."
Good video. As some comments already mentioned, this wasn't just about food. It was also about religion and race. The historical Roman Catholic (Irish) vs. Protestant (English) Church conflict is well known. However, the 19th century was primarily about nationalism and the rise of racial theories. It's a well documented fact that there were several English authors who openly claimed in their studies and books that Irish people (= the original Celtic inhabitants of British Isles before the Anglo-Saxon invasion) were racially inferior. There were many caricatures published in English newspapers, depicting Irish people as ugly, degenerated, stupid, lazy and drunk monkeys. It was a method very similar to what German Nazis used in the 20th century: if you dehumanize a certain social or racial group(s), it is easier for the rest of the society to see these "not-anymore-humans" vanish and die...
Ivo disease and famine knows no barriers. Protestants also suffered famine a fact Ireland pretends wasn't possible.. People also forgot it was full UK and Europe famine.. Read and link those books..

1) The IRISH were actually BRITISH at the time you are referring to, in the same way as there are even today ''Irish British'' - ''Scottish British'' - ''Welsh British'' and ''English British''. You keep referring to ''British Authorities'' - which show you may not be aware the Irish themselves were also Brits. I do realise many Irish people have distanced themselves from their being British - but they were.
2) There was no UNITED KINGDOM as your video suggests, the name of the country at that time was ''Great Britian & Ireland''
so, there you go.

Crazy that ottomans had to SMUGGLE FOOD IN during a famine….
Ireland grew many varieties of potatoes but it is estimated that 2/3 or 3/4 of the potatoes grown was the Irish Lumper. The lumper originated in Scotland and was introduced by returning Irish workers from Scotland during the early 1800s. The lumper was able to thrive on poor quality soil and grew into huge size hence the name lumper. It was originally grown as food for livestock but it prevalence demonstrated the increasing poverty among Irish rural communities. Other varieties were susceptible to the blight but the lumper was the worst hit. Ireland did have other food source like wheat, rye, barley and other grains but they were exported to Britain or its oversea colonies and the Irish got nothing. The Irish were treated as second class citizens in their own country and British policies did very little to aid them or prevent the famine. The famine was avoidable but it was British policies that resulted the famine. Potato blight was the cataclysm rather than the true cause for the famine.
Let's call it what it really was... GENOCIDE. The English hated the Irish for many reasons and decided to get rid of the Irish once and for all!!

But yes the clergy of both religions did help and saved many people from death and starvation. But no their were no "gold filled purses" or whatever fcukery you're going on about.

Eh, the potato crop failed all over the place but Ireland was the only place where 2 million died and another 2 million cannot be accounted for. Half the population disappeared. Snr Ferrrera the advisor to the govt on this matter publicly stated at the time that the death of one million Irish was not enough. The editorial in the Sunday Times said that they hoped that the Irish famine would result in Irish people on the banks of the Shannon being about as common as Indians on the banks of the Manhattan. Over 100,000 British troops were deployed into Ireland at the time to escort food convoys out to ports for export. Ireland is a food producer and it exported enough food during the period to feed the 8 million people twice over. Now something of interest here and that is that Stalin copied this exact technique of eliminating people in 1932 when he starved to death 11 million Ukrainians and neither of these countries have paid reparations yet.
Manifest destiny was a horrific disaster for the Native Americans too. Maybe you could do a video on that!
The potato famine affected the whole of North and Western Europe.
Norway for one had exactly the same experience as Ireland , mass starvation and emigration to N. America.
Just a bit of context here ,lads.
How did the Irish potato famine happen:
The agronomic answer: "Monocropping and not resting of the land created the biological pressures for the potato blight"
The economic answer: "A combination of pro-British trade protectionism, a feudal-like class of landlords that cared more about exports and an all-around English disdain for everything Irish took an otherwise unfortunate situation and created one of the greatest tragedies of the Irish nation"
Believe it or not people at that time did know about crop rotation and potato beds were routinely moved to any area of untilled land which was available. Remember the potato blight was a new plant disease and affected all of Europe and not just Ireland. The second part of your summation is certainly true.

Prior to the famine, Ireland had 8.5 million people, 5 million left, 2 million died, leaving roughly 3.5 million, less than half the population. Today, in 2022, their population is only5 million. So much for the great English empire, which pretty much actively tried to kill off the Irish in the process, rather than help.
