Why did people not sustain themselves on seafood during the Great Famine?
It is not correct to refer to the Irish Famine of 1845 - 47 as the great famine as there was no great famine. The only crop to fail during these years as the potatoe, which not only failed in Ireland but also failed throughout Europe around the same time. The starvation of the Irish was caused because the peasant masses depended on Potatoes as a cheap food source that was relatively easy to grow. However there were many, many sources of food, such as grains, meats, cheese and other dairy products, but these were all exported from Ireland by the ruling British government. So when the potatoe crop failed there was no other food source to turn to for the peasant classes as the British government of the time still insisted that exports continue and actually increased during this time frame. The famine was a man-made disaster.
