The term "Great Hunger" primarily refers to the Irish Potato Famine, which occurred between 1845 and 1852. This catastrophic event was triggered by a potato blight that devastated crops, leading to widespread starvation, disease, and emigration. Approximately one million people died, and another million emigrated from Ireland as a result of the famine, profoundly impacting Irish society and its diaspora. The Great Hunger remains a significant historical event, symbolizing the consequences of colonial policies and agricultural dependency.
