  • The Protestant clergy turned their backs on the Starving Irish Catholics, but Dr. Traill opened a soup kitchen for them and SirRobert Peel appealed to Parliament to save the Irish. The Irish Potato Famine was the greatest disaster in 19th Century European History. Of 4 Million Irish Before the Famine, 1 Million died of starvation, 2 Million emigrated to America, and 1 Million remained in Ireland. Today, there are 4 Million Irish in Ireland, but 40 Million in America.
    This historical drama helps to explain why the Irish rebelled in 1921 and the IRA continued its terrorism in the 1970s to force GB to surrender
    Northern Ireland.

      @MsMissy A BOLD NEW HISTORY THAT HOLDS THE BRITISH
      GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE GREAT FAMINE
      uring a Biblical seven years in the middle of the nineteenth century, Ireland
      experienced the worst disaster a nation could suffer. Fully a quarter of its citi-
      ens either perished from starvation or emigrated in what came to be known
      ta Mór, the Great Hunger. Drawing on new archival evidence, Ireland's best-
      historian, Tim Pat Coogan, revisits one of the darkest chapters in world history
      erts that the Irish Famine constituted one of the first acts of genocide.

    So I am doing Spainish homework right now, and I am making each of my sentences on the last page a reference.
    So thank you, because I forgot his name. XD
