What are the main points of the Irish potato famine?

Yeah the dude above has it fairly well covered, there is more to it than that, the population still has not recovered to 1845 numbers,( there was about 8 million people in Ireland in 1844, today we have about 4 million here, including alot of migrant worker's), we are about half way there, English indifference played no part in the actual potato blight( blight is the name of the disease that killed the potato.It rotted the potatoes in the ground, the indifference was that they did not help feed us and that killed many millions of us. They hunted us of our land when we in turn could not pay the " rent" ( on our own land). Between 1845 and 1847 2 million died and a further 2 million fled the country, mostly to America, a further 300,000 died in the following 2 years with 700,000 leaving for America in what was known as coffin ships( chilling).

This is just a guess, so many people were buried in mass graves with no documentation, so we are unsure of how many actually died, ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
