There was a famine in Ireland starting in the middle of the 1840s, which was caused by potato blight destroying potatoes. Potatoes formed a major part of the diet of Irish people, so when the famine struck, many Irish people died and many emigrated. Even today, the population of Ireland has not reached the level it was before the famine.
