The Irish famine caused famine related death as well as death from famine related diseases. It was actually during the Irish potato famine that famine related diseases were recorded for the first time by doctors in work houses where the poor went when they were homeless and had no means of feeding themselves. These poor houses were over populated and disease spread rapidly. The main famine related diseases we are talking about are typhus and dysentery.
The famine was caused by the fact that the Irish had been gradually dispossessed, practically across the board, during the English invasions. With no land of their own, they became poor peasants who had to rent from landlords at an expensive price.
