A lasting impact of the Great Famine was the political impact. There were those who believed that the government in London had done as little as it could to help the Irish. Therefore, they believed that the only people who could help the Irish were the Irish themselves. Some of the leaders of the Easter Rebellion in 1916 had families affected by the famine.

To this day, there is a lasting grudge between the Irish and the English due to the history of the two countries.
