The Great Potato Famine, also known as the Irish Potato Famine, was a devastating period of mass starvation and disease in Ireland from 1845 to 1852. The famine was caused by the failure of the potato crop, which was a staple food for the majority of the population. It resulted in the death or emigration of millions of Irish people and had long-lasting social and economic impacts on the country.

the Great Famine
The great Irish potato famine started in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in the years 1842 to 1852. There was mass starvation, which is estimated to of killed one million people. Many people also emigrated from Ireland because of the famine. Ireland's population is estimated to have decreased as much as 25 percent in just seven years. Historians now know the cause of the famine was a disease called potato blight. The famine was so great, because at the time nearly 33 percent of Ireland's population relied solely on potatoes for nourishment.
