@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
And what's even worse is that they don't teach this in UK schools

90% if problems in today's world have caused or have a connection to British Empire someway.

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

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 Choctaw Nation scraped together around $5,000 by today’s standards to donate to Ireland when they heard of the famine. They were fresh off the Trail of Tears too. One of the few to help.

people clearly misunderstood the video, the British did not intentionally plan a famine nor did they create it. a blight killed the crops the locals ate. the rest was taken by the British.

I’m just misinformed but I honestly thought the British and the Irish were friends. So sad what was done to the Irish.

And here we go again. More jingoistic language, nationalism and finger pointing, on both sides. We can’t change history. Kids can’t be taught everything in school. It’s up to us as adults to not…

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.
