Ireland. The Irish Potato Famine began in September 1845. Potatoes, upon which the Irish diet was almost totally based, began to disappear. Due to the abundance of potatoes in America, many Irish people began to migrate to the United States. It is ironic, though, that the disease which originally caused the famine was mistakenly transported from North America to Ireland.
