Between 1845 and 1860, the Great Hunger took over Ireland. Scholars debate whether it was a "famine" or "forced famine" (aka genocide), but the general and accepted idea is that a potato blight, or disease, hit Ireland in the late 1840's. This turned the potatoes rotten. The English, being Ireland's mother country at the time, took all other available crops, meat, and fish. This left the Irish to starve, which ultimately led to the mass emigration of the Irish to America.
