The 19th Century Irish Famine

Paper Summary:

What is evident in examining the Irish Famine is that people died not only because of the crop loss to fungus, but also due to the failure to divide existing food resources among the hungry masses who died. As well, a single crop should not have been responsible for such a significant part of the peasants diet. Thus, there were both sociological and scientific reasons that people died in the Irish Famine of 1845-1849.
