Ireland. The Irish Potato Famine began in September 1845. Potatoes, upon which the Irish diet was almost totally based, began to disappear. Due to the abundance of potatoes in America, many Irish people began to migrate to the United States. It is ironic, though, that the disease which originally caused the famine was mistakenly transported from North America to Ireland.

Do you believe in self fulfilling prophesy?

There are many examples of self-fulfilling prophecies; some more famous ones are: In the 1929 crash, rumours of runs on banks caused people to remove their money from the banks - causing a run on the banks. In the 1970s, a British commentator announced there would be a shortage of salt - people starting stocking up and shops soon sold out of salt causing a shortage. In fact, the announcement was simply a test to see if rumours of a shortage would cause a shortage.
