In Ireland the last great famine started in 1845 and ended in 1852. Worldwide there are several severe famines currently ongoing, many of them a lot worse than the Irish famine.
there are many reasons why people could have immigrated in the 1920s. it was probably because the economy in the USA was very good, but the economy wasn't very good in Europe. Alone with that answer, some immigrants (such as the Irish) came to the U.S. because of famines, or because of religious persecution.
There was no cure for the famine, as it was potato blight that caused it. There is a cure now, but not in the 1800's.The health was very bad, because potatoes was the main diet of the Irish people. Many died of scurvy, starvation and other horrific diseases.
There's no such thing. It's Brits versus Irish. Irish mostly Catholic, Brits mostly Protestant, although many, many, many Protestants consider themselves Irish.
Some people in the North of Ireland, Ulster, want to remain as part of the United Kingdom under British rule. And yes, they have different religious views to the Roman catholics who live there, and these Catholic people see their affinity to the Irish Republic governed from Dublin. Sadly this has led to a protracted period of violence, called the Troubles. The protestant majority (in the north) see the Dublin government as a foreign power. Hopefully power sharing as we seem to have these days has put the Troubles behind us, and the people of Ireland, whatever their religious differences can live together in peace. The Good Friday Agreement between Tony Blair & Bertie Ahern, as well as the Reverend Ian Paisley & Martin McGuinness, appears to have had a very big impact on the Province, and we no longer see the violence from there on our news programmes. I am not saying that everything is sweetness & light, but it is incomparably better now than it once was. Quite why the Irish can play Rugby Union as a united country (& always have) is a moot point ! well they have been under British rule so long they when you are occupied by another country for so long you may like there ways more how run the country things they with the population of the rest of Britain they could have lower taxes more benefits things like that all so by staying in the UK they wont have to pay this huge dept we have
There are thirteen famines mentioned in the Bible.

Over 3000 Protestants died in the Holocaust. 5 to 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. However, this is an estimate as it is possible that more may have died.
As many as you want.

Their differences are their religious culture. Catholics are often nationalists in that they want Ireland to become one state Protestants are often unionists in that they want to remain apart of the United Kingdom. Catholics believe that the English monarch who are protestant oppressed them Protestants have the same religion as the monarch and therefore believe that the the British monarch is good. Catholics see the Pope as head of their church Protestants see the Queen as head of their church. However many protestants prefer to call the Queen as leader of their church with God being the head of the Church. Catholics see the tri-colour flag as their flag Protestants see the union flag as their flag
