Who helped the Irish in the potato famine?
I've never heard or read of the Roman Catholic Church providing help during the Irish Potato Famine. It's possible that they ran some of charitable soup kitchens, but bear in mind that the RC Church in Ireland would have been badly affected by the situation, too. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. The Catholic Church in Ireland received world-wide financial support from the church throughout the world during this period to assist the needs of the people. In addition, American Irish-Catholics as well as non-Catholic Americans provided unprecedented financial support to the cause. See the article on the famine by the Rev. Donal Kerr, Emeritus Professor of Ecclesiastical History, St. Patrick's University, Maynooth, Ireland at the link below
How was food stored during the famine in Egypt.?
Of course, storing up food for seven years in preparation for the biblical seven year famine would be a logistics exercise of unprecedented proportions. But it seems that it never happned. The Egyptians kept detailed documents of all the minituae of life, including contracts and business dealings, but scholars have never been able to find a reference to any such famine. Food was not stored during the famine, because it never really happened.
What country ruled Ireland before the potato famine?
Up to about 1170 Ireland was a largely disunified arrangement of kingdoms although there were High Kings, the island was never really a united entity - petty kings ruled various areas (They would nowadays be called 'war-lords'.) Into this came the English at the invitation of one of the powerful who wished for assistance in regaining his kingdom.... and they stayed for a bit longer than they were welcome. "The English" later became "The British" as England merged with Scotland. They ruled Irish before, during and after the great famine of the 1840s.
Facts about the irish potato famine?
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.
Which example describes migration caused by overcrowding?
"Migration due to overcrowding" is somewhat misleading, as lack of room has never been a critical issue on a large scale. much more prevalent has been shortages of food or other critical resources, which are the root cause of many migrations, for instance, during the Irish Potato famine which caused many to flee from Ireland to the United States due to the Starvation and ruined economy in Ireland at the time
