@phyllis brady That is not what happened. Britain had a controlled market place. That meant everything was controlled from the food that was grown, houses that were lived and the very manner of land ownership. The economics that were applied in Ireland were also applied in Scotland, wales and England. The main difference was that in Ireland that taxes were just too high with many of the taxes being applied to grain. The same thing happened with flax. If a farmer in Ireland wanted to grow grain they had to pay extra taxes that many poor small farmers could not afford. There was smaller famines in mainland Britain.

Don't forget the reason why we were so dependent on the potato was because English landlords were focused on making a profit, and all other crops would be sold for more to make up for the loss they were making on the lack of potatoes they were selling. Another thing was the grain they were getting in on mass, details on how it could be prepared for home use were not supplied and thus the name "Peel's brimstone" was given to it. OH, and the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Abdulmecid II, actually wanted to send relief to the Irish during the time. The only problem was that Queen Victoria made a donation to the Irish, and the Sultan's aid had to be cut short by about 3/4 of what he intended to send so as to not annoy or upset the queen

Hi

[@MrRiderLtd]

1847 The ottoman empire (turkey) sent three ships full of foodstuff to Drogheda Port(Ireland). Turks also sent 10,000 pounds. It was a great gesture that gave worldwide recognition to the Ottomans. Even Queen Victoria did not behave more generously to the Irish than the ottomans, the British sent only 2,000 pounds. This is why the Ottoman government was asked to reduce its monetary assistance to 1,000 pounds. The Irish did not forget this favor and put a crescent and star symbol on the emblem of the city and Drogheda Football Club in 1919. President of Ireland Mary McAleese recalled the Ottoman Empire's favor on her visit to Turkey five years ago and said the Irish people have never forgotten this rare example of favor. "Ireland turned the symbols on your flag, this beautiful star and crescent, into a symbol of the city. We also see these Turkish symbols on the uniform of the football team," she said.

The Ottomans were NOT generous. They sent food to the Irish, so they could potentially rebel against their oppressive English rulers and weaken Great Britain as the number one power in the world. There's no kindness in this business kid, just simple Geo-politics.

[@loneyman-o6p]

Hello, as a Turkish and Ottoman historian, I write the truth of the story based on concise Ottoman records. The period when the Irish people were deliberately left to genocide by England. The Ottomans were not interested in this at first. They did not want to confront the British and Ireland was not a Muslim country. At that time, the Ottomans were busy suppressing the rebellions in the conquered regions. There was also a power struggle within the palace. Celtic soldiers and officers serving in the Ottoman Empire did not remain silent any longer about the genocide committed in Ireland and reported this situation harshly to the sultan. The Sultan had to accept the offer of help. In addition, Celtic people living in Anatolia also supported the aid campaign. It is estimated that the Celtic population living in Anatolia today is 9 million. When the Ottoman Empire ended, the Celts living in Anatolia were not shown as a minority at the Lausanne meeting of the newly established Turkish state because they lived in a Muslim state. When you go to Anatolia, you can see people with red hair and green and blue eyes. Celts living in Turkey are educated, polite and mostly atheist. In my opinion, those who helped you are the Celts living in Anatolia. What I said is available in official documents. Thank you.

Don't just assume that we decided not to fish, it is incredibly immature and unfair to say that.

Don't forget about the Famine Roads. Because the British were taking all of the healthy crop, the Irish were left with nothing. The British believed that this would spark ideas of a Revolution in Ireland so Trevelyan decided to force the Irish to build 'Famine Roads' (Roads that would usually lead absolutely nowhere and were just a scheme to keep the Irish too preoccupied for any Revolutionary ideas), and not only that, but the Irish got absolutely nothing in return for the hard labour they were forced into. Absolutely horrendous times.

[@loganinkosovo]

You kind of missed the reason why my ancestors were forced to eat only one type of food. They were forced to since their land, livestock and livelihoods were stolen by the English and poaching anything was a death sentence. They were forced to feed their families on a small bit of land they were allowed to use by the English Landlords. Since the proscriptions, the landlords had all the money, land and courts to back them up. Millions of Irish died in Ireland of surfeit, on the trip to the Americas (which tickets they had to pay for themselves) and once in America, Canada and Australia They died by the droves building the Countries.

[@mattiecunniffe6274]

I read that an irish worker could spend an entire years worth of pay on just one ticket. Tickets were 7 pounds.

[@loganinkosovo]

and had to supply their own food or pay for it on the journey. Thats why they called them the coffin ships. About as many died on the way to America as slaves died in the blackbirders and the irish had to pay for their passage!

[@GabrielNicho]

That's just BS. The English did not force the Irish to plant potatoes. It's also false that the English controlled all the land.

[@loganinkosovo]

The Irish ate potatoes or starved to death. Nothing else they could afford would keep them from starving. And Yes, the English or Plantation Scots owned all most all the land. The Great Famine was Genocide, pure and simple. The monetarist policy of the British Government of the 1840's known as "Laissez Faire" demanded no political interference with "the free market". In Ireland Before and After the Famine Cormac O’Grada documents that in 1845, a famine year in Ireland, 3,251,907 quarters (8 bushels = 1 quarter)) of corn were exported from Ireland to Britain. That same year 257,257 sheep were exported to Britain. In 1846, another famine year, 480,827 swine and 186,483 oxen were exported to Britain. Cecil Woodham-Smith, considered the preeminent authority on the Irish Famine, wrote in The Great Hunger; Ireland 1845-1849 that, "...no issue has provoked so much anger or so embittered relations between the two countries (England and Ireland) as the indisputable fact that huge quantities of food were exported from Ireland to England throughout the period when the people of Ireland were dying of starvation." "Although the potato crop failed, the country was still producing and exporting more than enough grain crops to feed the population. But that was a 'money crop' and not a 'food crop' and could not be interfered with." According to John Mitchel, quoted by Woodham-Smith, "Ireland was actually producing sufficient food, wool and flax, to feed and clothe not nine but eighteen millions of people," yet a ship sailing into an Irish port during the famine years with a cargo of grain was "sure to meet six ships sailing out with a similar cargo." One of the most remarkable facts about the famine period is that there was an average monthly export of food from Ireland worth 100,000 Pound Sterling. Almost throughout the five-year famine, Ireland remained a net exporter of food. Dr. Christine Kinealy, a fellow at the University of Liverpool and the author of two scholarly texts on the Irish Famine: This Great Calamity and A Death-Dealing Famine, says that 9,992 calves were exported from Ireland to England during "Black'47", an increase of thirty-three percent from the previous year. In the twelve months following the second failure of the potato crop, 4,000 horses and ponies were exported. The export of livestock to Britain (with the exception of pigs) increased during the "famine". The export of bacon and ham increased. In total, over three million live animals were exported from Ireland between 1846-50, more than the number of people who emigrated during the famine years. Dr. Kinealy's most recent work is documented in the spring, 1998 issue of "History Ireland". She states that 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. The food was shipped under guard from the most famine-stricken parts of Ireland: Ballina, Ballyshannon, Bantry, Dingle, Killala, Kilrush, Limerick, Sligo, Tralee and Westport. During the first nine months of "Black '47" the export of grain-derived alcohol from Ireland to England included the following: 874,170 gallons of porter, 278,658 gallons of Guinness, and 183,392 gallons of whiskey. The total amount of grain-derived alcohol exported from Ireland in just nine months of Black'47 is 1,336,220 gallons! 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. The most shocking export figures concern butter. Butter was shipped in firkins, each one holding nine gallons. In the first nine months of 1847, 56,557 firkins were exported from Ireland to Bristol, and 34,852 firkins were shipped to Liverpool. That works out to be 822,681 gallons of butter exported to England from Ireland during nine months of the worst year of "famine". If the other three months of exports were at all comparable, then we can safely assume that a million gallons of butter left Ireland while 400,000 Irish people starved to death! Dr. Kinealy's research proves beyond a reasonable doubt that there was sufficient food in Ireland to prevent mass starvation, and that the food was brought through the worst famine-stricken areas on its way to England. British regiments guarded the ports and warehouses in Ireland to guarantee absentee landlords and commodity speculators their "free market" profits. When Ireland experienced an earlier famine in 1782-83, ports were closed in order to keep home grown food for domestic consumption. Food prices were immediately reduced within Ireland. The merchants lobbied against such efforts, but their protests were over-ridden. Everyone recognised that the interests of the merchants and the distressed people were irreconcilable. In the Great Famine, that recognition was disregarded. From www.usbornefamilytree.com/irishfoodexports.htm On a Single Day - Christy Moore A list of exports from Cork Harbour On a single day The fourteenth of September, Eighteen Forty-Seven Ran as follows: 147 barrels of pork, 986 casks of ham, 27 sacks of bacon, 528 boxes of eggs, 1, 397 firkins of butter, 477 sacks of oats, 720 sacks of flour, 380 sacks of barley, 187 head of cattle, 296 head of sheep, and 4, 338 barrels of miscellaneous provisions, On a single day, The ships sailed out from Cork Harbour With their bellies in the water. On a single day in County Galway, The great majority of the poor located there Were in a state of starvation, Many hourly expecting death to relieve their suffering. On a single day, The Lady Mayoress held a ball At the Mansion House in Dublin In the presence of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Dancing continued until the early hours, And refreshments of the most varied and sumptuous Nature Were supplied with inexhaustible profusion. On a single day. On a single day. It's about time this little country of ours had a bit Of peace.

Before the British farmers in Ireland had more land and could grow a variety of crops, that way they still had something to eat if one crop failed. But then the British took over the land, started grazing cattle, forced people of the good farmland and onto smaller plots with worse soil quality so that the potato was the only thing you could grow if you wanted enough to eat. The fact that food was exported from Ireland during the entire duration of the famine makes this look like a genocide.

[@richardtwomey9201]

Karl Scher you clearly don't understand how agriculturally poor communities operate. The reason why African nations have so many children is because infant mortality is high. The more children a family have the more likely some of them will reach adulthood. They also require these children to become adults to help them farm the land to feed the family and to produce crops to sell to pay for the land they are farming. Most western countries only have 1 to 2 kids these days because child mortality is very low and we work in industrial civilisations, we've also moved away from religion which condemns contraceptives. It is not overbreeding, it is the circumstances of their economic society. Ireland, and many parts of Europe went through the same process. Things like war and famine set a country back. So keep your ill informed, racist notions to yourself

[@richardtwomey9201]

@Karl Scher 'Listen snowflake' great response there Karl, 10/10. Ill reiterate ''clearly you dont understand how agriculturally poor communities operate'', you've proven that point twice now. 200 years ago the global child mortality rate was 43%, Sweden and Germany having particularly high rates so dont use nonsense like toxic catholicism or sexual fetishism for a reason of over breeding. Agricultural communities have high birth rates, poorer communities have higher death rates, tts a simple fact. There wasnt overbreeding in Ireland, the food source collapsed and led to famine for the previously established population. Of course they'll beg for food, they are starving? Thats not too difficult to comprehend, large parts of Africa are economically poor. Youre obviously just ignoring the reality because you dont like them.

Very good video. One thing you also could have included is that the famine “put the nail in the coffin” for the Irish language known as ‘Gaeilge’ in Ireland. Around 1850 the vast majority of Ireland (approx 70% or so) spoke Irish as their first language and English was spoken in Dublin and Belfast. Today it is less than 5% speak it as their first language. In 1845 The language was in decline as it was discouraged by the English wealthy classes. Many of the immigrants who left Ireland or died of starvation in the famine were from the west of Ireland who’s communities were overwhelmingly Irish speakers. The famine set the Irish language on a rapid decline as many communities lost their people to death, immigration or others cast the language aside as they saw they had to switch to English as their only future lay with leaving the country.

Genasiker Wait...What about Nogla

[@BlueDebut]

Yes! Finally an episode about my ancestors! We were from County Clare and worked as tenement farmers near Limerick Ireland, a city roughly south of Dublin. After being evicted (and half the family starving to death) we moved to St Johns Newfoundland in 1851 because New York had anti-Irish sentiments and we wanted work. After a few decades in Canada we moved to Klayston North Dakota in 1912 for better land. My great grandfather Daniel O’Brien joined the army in 1942 in the 28th Division (he was part of the unit that liberated Paris). Given the rank of sergeant he fought in the Battle of the Bulge (specifically near the Belgian town of Wiltz) and was one of only 3 SURVIVORS in his Infantry company. After getting wounded in his arm by an MG-42 he used his M1 Garand as a splint and made it back to allied lines. He became friends with Marie Martine, a French woman who was also his nurse! After the war the moved to Long Beach California and had six kids! We’ve come a long way since that famine!

+Andrew Burton Stalin did it for the same reason as the British caused more suffering to the Irish. It was to destabilize an occupied nation, kill a large portion of the population and to make the nation entirely dependent on aid. This was done to solidify the occupying nations grip on their victims and to prevent rebellions or demands for independence. Stalin did it to Ukraine and it is called Holodomor. Yes people all around Soviet Union died, but them main focus was on Ukraine which was the bread basket of Europe. The other casualties were just a side effect and Stalin is not known for his efforts to save the lives of his citizens.

Hello, as a Turkish and Ottoman historian, I write the truth of the story based on concise Ottoman records. The period when the Irish people were deliberately left to genocide by England. The Ottomans were not interested in this at first. They did not want to confront the British and Ireland was not a Muslim country. At that time, the Ottomans were busy suppressing the rebellions in the conquered regions. There was also a power struggle within the palace. Celtic soldiers and officers serving in the Ottoman Empire did not remain silent any longer about the genocide committed in Ireland and reported this situation harshly to the sultan. The Sultan had to accept the offer of help. In addition, Celtic people living in Anatolia also supported the aid campaign. It is estimated that the Celtic population living in Anatolia today is 9 million. When the Ottoman Empire ended, the Celts living in Anatolia were not shown as a minority at the Lausanne meeting of the newly established Turkish state because they lived in a Muslim state. When you go to Anatolia, you can see people with red hair and green and blue eyes. Celts living in Turkey are educated, polite and mostly atheist. In my opinion, those who helped you are the Celts living in Anatolia. What I said is available in official documents. Thank you.

[@Pizza23333]

+dsa dsa The only funny thing here is that you clearly haven't looked into either famine, yet you think you're an apparent authority to call them "the same thing". During the Irish famine, we have evidence the British government sent resources to fight the hunger, it raised money nationally and internationally, It set up programs publicly and privately to buy food for Ireland, with Irish nationalists famously saying it wasn't Ireland asking for help, but Britain asking for help for Ireland. Holodomor, while its status as genocide is debated, was not like this. The Soviets refused outside aid, forced people to stay where they were and the Stalinist regime in 1932-33 thought that many of those starving to death were "counter-revolutionaries", "idlers" or "thieves" who fully deserved their fate. There was a significant difference in attitudes and actions between the two, so maybe spend less time with your caps lock on and more time actually studying these things.
