The Irish Potato Famine, or 'The Great Hunger' (1845-1852) left around one million Irish people dead and a further million migrated out of Ireland. The Irish population dropped around 25 percent. The lack of British help during the famine was one of the factors leading to the failed Irish Nationalist uprising of 1848, and it severly lessened Irish support for Britian.
