The population of Ireland decrease do to disease and starvation. Between death and emigration the population reduced by about 2 million. To this day, the population of Ireland has not reached the level of about 8 million that was there before the famine.
Blight refers to the disease that affects a crop and the resulting starvation and problems is a famine.
disease and famine were the greatest tragedies befalling NorthAmerican Indians.
potato
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.
Thomas Malthus, a British economist, suggested in his 1798 work "An Essay on the Principle of Population" that population growth is limited by resources and that famine, disease, and war are natural checks to prevent population from endlessly growing beyond available resources.
Thomas Malthus
An 'e' word to describe famine is: Endless. EX: The endless famine was horrible.
The possiblities are endless but some of the more common theories are: meteor, nucluear weapons, disease, global famine, change in weather patterns.
Prevent famine by storing food and by planting fruit and vegetable gardens
No, famine is not a disease. It is an economic condition that was unknown before civilization started. So, if it is considered a disease, then it is the disease of civilized life. More children die every year from famine than all the soldiers that died in the WWI and WWII combined.
The law of population, proposed by Thomas Malthus, suggests that population growth tends to outpace the growth of resources, leading to inevitable checks on population such as famine, disease, or war. Malthus argued that these checks were necessary to prevent overpopulation and maintain a balance between population and resources.
I believe the potato famine was when in Ireland, or somewhere near there, a disease that affected potatos, destroyed almost all of the potato population, killing hundreds of Irish farmers and citizens, that depen highly on potatos
He believed the only checks on population growth were nature's "natural" methods of war, disease, and famine
The factors that Thomas Malthus thought would eventually limit the human population were war, famine, and disease.
The population of Ireland decrease do to disease and starvation. Between death and emigration the population reduced by about 2 million. To this day, the population of Ireland has not reached the level of about 8 million that was there before the famine.
not 900 million. at most 200 million, but rapidly declined because of famine and disease brought by the Europeans.
