@tinyrealms: Why does Ireland have fewer people today than it did in the 1840s? Because when the potato crop failed, the British Empire turned a natural disaster into a man-made catastrophe. Millions starved or fled while Ireland exported food daily under military guard. This is the brutal truth of the Irish Famine — not just a tragedy, but a deliberate act of neglect and cruelty. #History #irish #famine #potato
It wasn't a famine. It was deliberate starvation by the British.

Maybe Ireland shudnt have sold it... and fed their own? The boats may have had soldiers but the food came from farms ... so why transport it to the boats?

Doing all this was bad enough but they then stopped aid from getting to Ireland. They blocked the aid ships. Queen Victoria didn't want the Irish getting more than she gave.

It wasn’t a famine. There was plenty of food in Ireland. The Irish people just weren’t allowed to eat it. They were starved to death by the powers that ruled our land.

the craziest part for me is the fact that Ireland's population still hasn't reached the numbers it had before the "famine"! 💀

Good old capitalism at work. How it comes around again. 4000 food banks in the uk. Reform uk lovers can’t see it. It’s incredible how propaganda still works. Tax wealth not work.

Famine is ALWAYS caused by control to food, not lack of food.

I knew about the potato famine, but not that we allowed it to happen! England owes Ireland more than an apology 😢 This is when my family moved from Ireland (found out through ancestry)
