Why did so many people die during the Irish potato famine? Couldn’t they have imported food from the mainland?
In: 17
Britain was taking all the other food grown in Ireland back to Britain for British people to eat and only gave food to those who went to protestant church services, Ireland had over 1 million deaths during famine other European countries has far far less such as France only had 10,000 deaths. Ireland had more due to Britain stealing Irish food and starving Irish people.
