What was Britain's effects on the Irish Famine?

Answer 1

it wasnt a famine as such there was enough food to feed the people of Ireland 4 times over but under law at the time the food was shipped and round the British empire to feed its armies ect , the few counties in the middle of the country was designated to feed the Irish people and it was this part that got the potato plight which was the main source of food for the Irish at the time. most people think it was a famine when realy it was not. its an actual documented fact. puls the name potato plight should show that it was only the potato crop at the time that was effected and not carrots turnips cabbage etc that get effected by this . also land grab was going on at the time were no Irish man was allowed to own his own land and was kicked out of there homes while they were demolished for English lords land sorry i cant explain better its just what i remembr from school but i know its in a lot of history books if you look them up
