An estimated 500,000 Irish people died from war, plague and famine during Cromwell's military campaign, which lasted from 1649 to 1650. He only spent about 9 months in Ireland, but the effects of his campaign go beyond that.
this was during the many wars, so no one knows for sure.

Why did they call oliver cromwell the 'curse of ireland'?

Oliver Cromwell was called the "Curse of Ireland" due to his brutal military campaigns during the English Civil War in the 17th century, particularly his invasion of Ireland in 1649. His forces committed atrocities, such as the massacres at Drogheda and Wexford, resulting in significant loss of life and widespread suffering among the Irish population. Cromwell's policies also led to land confiscations and the displacement of many Irish people, exacerbating tensions and resentment that would last for centuries. His legacy in Ireland remains deeply controversial and is often associated with oppression and violence.
