Now of course there's exceptions, if they start trying to defend the actions if the empire for example. Understandably that could kinda ruin the fun a bit. However, most English people either don't give a toss or fully acknowledge what happened.

[@KosodkaLimited]

From the wikipedia page: "Edward Bruce created havoc in the colonised parts of Ireland, and might be said to have nearly brought the settlement to its knees. But notwithstanding this, he failed in the end, and with him the attempt to create a kingdom of Ireland and drive out the settlers ceased. From then on the Gaelic revival failed to find a national leader. However, he succeeded in preventing aid for the conquest of Scotland being arriving from Ireland which was probably the main purpose of the invasion. Its impulse remained local down to the end of the Middle Ages; its success was measured in the innumerable battles fought by local chieftains or confederations of chieftains. So while everywhere the Gaelic recovery of lost territories was remarkable, there was never any serious attempt made to unite Gaelic Ireland or to bring about the downfall of the English government in Ireland and the end of the colony."

[@XRoyalStampedeX]

@Celtic Revival / Adfywiad Celtaidd That’s somewhat true but the British didn’t really had anyway of stopping the spread of the potato famine and wasn’t their fault that they didn’t have technology at the time to counteract it... every european country was affected by the potato famine but Ireland was hit the hardest mainly due to the fact that 95% of the island is farm based and wasn’t heavily industrialised like it’s other neighbours plus the common dish for Irish people at the time was mainly potato’s anyway so yeah 🥔.

[@gary-songwriter]

@@XRoyalStampedeX Not true. The majority of farms were held by tenant farmers. The land itself was owned by British Crown supporters, who had been gifted the lands for favours done for the Crown. These absentee landlords were at liberty to reduce the size of the small holdings. And did so. Throughout the entire period of the Famine, Ireland was exporting enormous quantities of food. In the magazine History Ireland (1997, issue 5, pp. 32-36), Christine Kinealy, a Great Hunger scholar, lecturer, and Drew University professor, relates her findings: Almost 4,000 vessels carried food from Ireland to the ports of Bristol, Glasgow, Liverpool, and London during 1847, when 400,000 Irish men, women, and children died of starvation and related diseases. She also writes that Irish exports of calves, livestock (except pigs), bacon, and ham actually increased during the Famine. This food was shipped from the most famine-stricken parts of Ireland: Ballina, Ballyshannon, Bantry, Dingle, Killala, Kilrush, Limerick, Sligo, Tralee, and Westport. A wide variety of commodities left Ireland during 1847, including peas, beans, onions, rabbits, salmon, oysters, herring, lard, honey, tongues, animal skins, rags, shoes, soap, glue, and seed. One of the most shocking export figures concern butter. Butter was shipped in firkins, each one holding 9 imperial gallons; 41 litres. In the first nine months of 1847, 56,557 firkins (509,010 imperial gallons; 2,314,000 litres) were exported from Ireland to Bristol, and 34,852 firkins (313,670 imperial gallons; 1,426,000 litres) were shipped to Liverpool, which correlates with 822,681 imperial gallons (3,739,980 litres) of butter exported to England from Ireland during nine months of the worst year of the Famine.[109] The problem in Ireland was not lack of food, which was plentiful, but the price of it, which was beyond the reach of the poor. The small holdings were not capable of this form of production, as crop rotation is very difficult on small tracts of land. In 1845, 24% of all Irish tenant farms were of 0.4-2 hectares (1-5 acres) in size, while 40% were of 2-6 hectares (5-15 acres). Holdings were so small that no crop other than potatoes would suffice to feed a family. Shortly before the famine, the British government reported that poverty was so widespread that one-third of all Irish small holdings could not support the tenant families after rent was paid; the families survived only by earnings as seasonal migrant labour in England and Scotland.[39] Following the famine, reforms were implemented making it illegal to further divide land holdings. In addition, the tenant farmers were still required to pay rent on the farms. When the crops failed, so did their only source of income. Some landlords were sympathetic to their plights. Others nor so much. (“What the devil do we care about you or your black potatoes? It was not us that made them black. You will get two days to pay the rent, and if you don’t you know the consequences.”) Evictions became increasingly common. There was little sympathy in British government circles to "the Irish problem." Charles Trevelyn, who was secretary of the Treasury in England and had responsibility for famine relief, had an [un]sympathetic attitude to the starving Irish: “The only way to prevent the people from becoming habitually dependent on Government is to bring the food depots to a close. The uncertainty about the new crop only makes this more necessary“. Not everybody looked the other way, though. The Quakers in America raised more than $200,000 in relief for the starving Irish. The Choctaw Indians, just sixteen years after they had survived The Trail of Tears, sent a generous donation to help their “brothers and sisters in need.” Sir Robert Peel, as British prime minister, made several attempts to provide assistance. Ultimately, however, he was defeated in parliament, and his successor was less sympathetic to the plight of his British subjects in Ireland (Ireland was, at that time, under the control, and protection, of the British Crown). Not everyone viewed the loss of so many lives as a calamity, as the preface to the Irish Census of 1851 makes clear: “…we feel it will be gratifying to your Excellency to find that the population has been diminished in so remarkable a manner by famine, disease and emigration between 1841 and 1851, and has been since decreasing, the results of the Irish census of 1851 are, on the whole, satisfactory, demonstrating as they do the general advancement of the country. “ So your assertion that millions of Irish people died because Ireland wasn’t as “heavily industrialised like it’s other neighbours” simply displays your ignorance of this appalling period in Ireland’s history.

Munster didnt control Ireland. The south of Ireland is the Munster and is just a region inside Ireland. Irelands system back in the dark ages was complicated but basically it was a united country with the laws being the Brehon Law, a High King of irrland to rule over Ireland ( unlike foreign kings at the time the Irish king could not change laws ). Then there was many chieftains who controlled there clans region, these were the main enforcers of the Brehon Law. The clans werr allowed to fight between each other for more land and this happened frequently. This is a simplified history of Ireland... Ireland first came into around 400 AD at the latest and stayed like this for hundreds of years. The Normans and England occupied a small portion of Ireland around dublin from arund 1200 AD to around 1600 AD. Ireland regained control from 1641-1650 England controlled Ireland from 1650 until 1922. In 1922 Ireland became free again except for a small portion of northern Ireland is part of Britain.

Fun fact: Ottomans' helped Irish people in the Great Famine and another fact is they wan'na give 50k pounds but the Queen Victoria gave 'em 10k pounds. Because of this Queen refused the help and Ottomans give just 10k pounds for Irish people

2:03 Richard IV was briefly King of England after his uncle Richard III was killed at the Battle of Bosworth. His short time on the throne was wiped from history by Henry Tudor who ascended after Richard III's untimely death at the hands of his inept nephew, Edmund Blackadder.

The Great Potato Famine lead to the deaths of over a million and another million emigrating. At the time, potatoes were the primary food for most poor Irish farmers, especially in the west.

@@godlovesyou1995 it was completely the fault of the English, only clueless dopes who comment on things they don't understand would say otherwise. England exported a superabundance of food under armed guard while the population starved to death.

By that same measure Ireland's population shot up with English involvement and remained 3 times the population from when they arrived.

How do you get population info? Also great video.

[@OllieBye]

I used census data where possible, but obviously the Medieval and Ancient data is just based on estimations by demographers. Any population figure before about 1700 has to be taken with a pinch of salt.
