The British negatively impacted the Irish economy through policies that favored English interests over Irish needs, leading to widespread poverty. The implementation of the Act of Union in 1801 resulted in the centralization of economic power in Britain, restricting Ireland's ability to develop its industries. Additionally, land ownership was largely held by British landlords, contributing to exploitative practices that left many Irish tenants in dire financial situations. The Great Famine (1845-1852) further exacerbated these issues, as British government responses were inadequate, leading to mass starvation and emigration.
