they say the fammine started because of potatos failing but was it really that
before the irish had to give there veggies to the the queen of england for her soilders so they were left with not that much but why did the potatos fail and rot and die was the illness man made? we learn in life that is why most americans
are half irish because of the fammine we also know before the fammine ireland had 8,000000 people after the fammine they had 2,000000 sadly most emigrated most died most got killed do we have more answers about the fammine please post but the fammine was world wide but it hit ireland the hardest

Ah. I understand it now. Well, everything bad may become good at some point. Though there were a REAL lot of Spanish and Dutch people there. So Ireland would make maybe... a 50-100 million difrence. Quite big.
Though even if the potatos were alright, people would still go to America anyway... So maybe 20-30 million? Dunno. |
