from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland) The Great Famine (Irish: An Gorta Mór lit: The Great Hunger[1] or An Drochshaol, lit: The Bad Life) was a period of starvation, disease and mass emigration between 1845 and 1852[2] during which the population of Ireland was reduced by 20 to 25 percent.[3] Approximately one million of the population died and a million more emigrated from Ireland's shores.[4] The proximate cause of famine was a potato disease commonly known as late blight.[5]

The worst year of the potatoe famine was 1847 (known as Black 47). The potatoe crop had failed for back to back years compounding the catastrophe.
Many of Irelands poorest took to growing potatoes as a single subsistance crop due to its high yields and ability to feed families from a few acres of ground. At first the potatoe grew well in the moderate moist climate. Then blight devastated the crop.

Yes. Food and money was donated by people like the Native Americans, but this was all seized by the Brits. During the famine, the Brits sent enough food to England to feed 18 million people, which means they increased it during starvation. That would suggest an attempt to kill off the Irish. British landlords told the Irish that their debts would be eradicated if they left Ireland. France and Germany also suffered from the blight, but they easily survived by eating the other food they had, when the Brits had taken all of te Irish's food.

What was the primary reason for Irish immigration to America?
The Great Potato Famine was one reason so many Irish fled to America. The land was so overused that it bore nothing and many people died of starvation. In 1917, Padraig Pierce led a disastrous rebellion in Dublin. Though it failed, the seed of Irish independence was planted and Ireland won independence, but the UK retained 6 Irish Counties in the Ulster province, turning that into Northern Ireland. It also started a huge civil war among the Irish. Religion was one factor, loyalty to the government another and it turned really ugly. Many Irishmen wanted a fresh start in America and many who came thrived and prospered. However, some did not and were treated shamefully, discriminated against and forced to live in conditions almost as bad as what they left behind.
