http://www.answers.com/topic/irish-potato-...5-1849?method=6

or go look it up some where else.

Ships from America brought some kind of disease that wiped out Ireland's staple food...potatoes..it's amazing how millions people died of just starvation....and British Empire was at its peak when it happend and there was nothing they could do (or care) about it...

There is a novel about the famine...'The Potato People'..

this topic makes me want to eat corned beef hash.

Many Americans can trace their roots back to Ireland. President Reagan was the great-grandson of Irish immigrants who came to America in the 1840s. It was also the case for president Kennedy, the great-grandson of 8 Irish immigrants. There seem to be no American ill feelings towards Britain as America and Britain are seen as each other's best ally due to their special relationship, same culture, language, economic system,etc....Perhaps the Irish potato famine could be viewed as one of the major factors contributing to the establishment of American cultural and political landscapes.

The potato famine was child's play compared to some of the famines caused by the Brits in India.

yeah right india was ruled by the brits like 100 years ireland a 1,000 years and northern ireland is still ruled by the brits and what famine is this in india that you speak of lets compare india 1 billion people ireland at the time of the famine 9 million went down to 2 million in 4 years percentage wise sorry to tell you india was child's play.
