Inflicted upon The People's of Ireland.
Throughout Ireland's history, being overrun by the British causing damaged beyond evil.
Caused by all of members of the British Monarchies,
Dear Tyranny, destruction ,degradation ,humiliation starvation,annihilation ,forced emigration over Ireland for decades and decades. As we now know,of the potato famine was not Starvation from loss of potatoes crops alone. The reason millions died ,was because the British came over to Ireland and took their livestock and anything of value form the native families of Ireland.
The British also took ,any Irish family's fishing boats.
Stolen at the begining of the Potato crop failure.
England's crops of potatoes were also dying out , Caused by the same fungus that it infected Ireland's potatoes . Having stolen Ireland's fishings boats to England , They weren't allowed to fish for the plentiful bounty in the sea ,right off the Irelans's coast.
That alone could've saved the Irish for starvation.
The British media, altered ireland and it peoples
history.
So when you hear of the potato famine,remember the cause millions of dead in Ireland.
This nightmare also started the subsequent mass exodus of Ireland's children to flee to America
and Australia.
