The Irish potato famine hit 1844-49, it's worst year being 1845 or 'black 45' as it was known. Basically the Irish population of 8 million had become incredibly dependant on the potato for food, as it reproduces so quickly in wet soil (which we have lots of). Then a blight hit the potato crop in Ireland (obviously they didn't have sprays to protect their crop) so the potatoes rotted in the ground. They were soft and mushy when dug up so people began to starve. One million starved to death in that period of time, one million emigrated, mostly to the USA and the UK, which is the answer to your question.
