The famine worst years were between 1845-1849

# data[].attributes.body
The worst year of the Irish famine was 1847 which wasmore commonly known as black 47. The famine took place from 1845 - 1851.

# data[].attributes.body
The Famine happened in the 1800’s. It started when the potato crops failed, and it went downhill from there. As everybody ate potatoes, when the crops failed, people began to starve.It is also known as The Great Famine. Last year, I read a book called ‘Slice of the Moon’, and it was about The Great Famine. In the book, a young girl named Slim and her family had to go on a boat to America to escape the Famine. This was called emigrating, and people bought tickets to get on these boats. Most people emigrated to America.This happened to most families in real life, too. On the boat, the conditions would be so bad, that most wouldn’t survive. Even if you made it to America, you probably wouldn’t survive for too long. Due to the Famine, there were nearly a million deaths.

The famine

The worst years of the famine were between 1845-1849.
In 1841there was over 8 million people living in Ireland but by the year 1851 there was only 6.5million left.

# data[].attributes.body
People have estimated that about a million people died during the worst famine years between 1845 and 1849.
About a million people emigrated to America , Canada , Australia or Britain . People continued to leave Ireland in large numbers for many years after the famine.

# data[].attributes.body
Over three million people went to the soup kitchens that is almost the same amount of people in Ireland now.

# data[].attributes.body
The Government closed down the soup kitchens in the autum or 1847 because they thought the potato would not fail again but it did.

# data[].attributes.body
People relied on the potato to much and they stopped growing. Many people died.

# data[].attributes.body

It happened because the potato crop failed. Irish people tried to emigrate. Loads of people died. Some desperate people ate grass that is poisonous to humans.
That’s all I know!

1.   The Great Famine was a disaster that hit Ireland between 1845 and about 1851, causing the deaths of about 1 million people and the flight or emigration of up to 2.5 million more over the course of about six years.
2. The famine was caused by the potato blight (fungus)
3. The potato blight destroyed about half the crop in 1845 and virtually all of it in 1846.
The end

It all started when sir Walter Raleigh brought the potato to Ireland and people depended on it too much. People were growing potato’s. People would buy the potato’s from the people that grew them. The potato’s had some sort of virus in them. People didn’t eat them anymore and all of a sudden everyone was so skinny and didn’t have food ask they died....

# data[].attributes.body
The famine in Ireland was where the landowners would make the Irish people pay rents which they could not afford so they gave up their crops instead. Soon, the potatoes got a disease and the Irish could no longer pay their fees. While they were all starving to death the landowners were getting richer and getting more food because they were taking back the land of which the Irish could not pay for. When alot  of the population had died out Irish families began to emigrate to America and no longer live in their home land. That is why a lot of American people have Irish ancestors.

# data[].attributes.body
Ireland’s food crop started to die out. So Irish people got very hungry. And they started to die them self’s . So some people got on ships to America and other places. But lots and lots of people died jurying the famine.

The great famine was mostly Irish
The great famine was known as the great hunger.
It lasted between 1845 and 184
The famine was caused by the potato blight (fungus) that was inadvertently brought over initially from North America to mainland Europe and had eventually made its way to Ireland during the summer of 1845. It was not unusual to have crops that failed and people thought that it was just an isolated event

All Irish ate potatoes but one day they stopped growing. Everyone was left starving, The famine started in 1846. Everybody survived on potatoes. Potatoes were their #1 crop to grow.. Alot  of people began to eat grass as an only option.  People didn’t eat any other plants or crops because they were unsure if they were edible or not.  Many people died of starvation. Fungus destroyed all the crop. Most people ate nothing but potatoes back then.  Lots of people sold potatoes for money. So In the end nobody had either money, food or homes because everyone had to pay a landlord. (Except for those who owned their own land and built their houses on it)

It was not usual to have a potatoe crop failureIt caused Ireland’s population to start to go down because people were starting to leave because the short food supply. The potatoes fungus is known as potatoe blight.The potatoe blight came from North America into the mainland Europe and eventually into Ireland in the Summer. Around 1 million people died during the famine.(That’s what I think happened)

A very long time ago, Ireland survived on potatoes. But then, the potatoes stopped growing, so lots of people died, and the population went down quite a bit. One million to be exact. The famine was also known as the Great Famine, or the Great Hunger. The famine was really long, and lasted from 1846 - 1849. Many people migrated to different countries, trying to escape the famine.Thankfully, the potatoes are still growing, and along with that many other delicious foods.

# data[].attributes.body
The famine was ages ago in Ireland when people only ate potatoes. It was in the 1800s but potatoes stopped growing. People died of hunger because potatoe crop failed It caused Ireland to not have a lower population. It lasted from 1846-1849. People tried traveling to other countries to hopefully get food. The famine was a terrrible time for people in Ireland as everybody was hungry and sick.

# data[].attributes.body
The famine Was a difficult time for Irish people,there was barely food for the Irish people. Many people died of hunger, a fever and the only food they really had was soup. As a lot of the families in Ireland were poor , the rules were very strict.if you were to steal a sheep you would have to face 7 months in jail. A man brought potato to the Irish people and the loved this food but sadly the potatoes started to fail growing and the Irish people had no food left because they relied on the potatoes and had forgotten about there main food source. Many people died in the famine.
The famine happened during the 1900 centuries
The famine was not a problem for the rich English and wealthy Irish because they could always order food  from different country’s more like England or Scotland

THE ENDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks FoR Stopping  by!!!!!

The famine started in 1846 and ended in 1849. It took place in Ireland. It all started when Sir Walter Raleigh brought potatoes and tobacco in Ireland during the plantation. The all the Irish people started to survive with potatoes. When the potato crops failed, that meant that they had no food to survive on. The majority of people died of starvation. Some people tried to go to different countries thinking there would be more food there. But the ships were always in bad condition and most people died on the ship itself. Some people tried to buy potatoes off the people who grew potato crops. It was a very hard time for the Irish people. This became known as the Great Famine.

The Famine
The famine started in the 1800s. It started when sir Walter Raleigh Brant potatoes to Ireland for the first time. The Irish People loved them a lot. But then they depended on it too much. The Irish people ate potatoes all of the time. They ate it for breakfast, for lunch and for dinner! I can’t believe it, they didn’t even know that there was even something called potato before the plantation! Then one day there were no more potatoes. The people suffered from hunger because they had nothing to eat. All they had planted was potatoes! And that’s how the famine started!

The Famine  started in 1846 as in the plantations Sir Walter Raleigh brought potatoes and tobacco to Ireland. Irish people then survived on potatoes and when the potato crop failed they had nothing to eat. Lots of people didn’t survive and this became known as The Great Famine. The cause of the famine was a fungus called potato blight. This fungus was originally brought from North America. It made its way to Ireland in the summer of 1845. In those times it wasn’t unusual to see crops that failed and they thought that it was just an isolated event.

# data[].attributes.body
Rebecca  potatoe crops stopped growing and there was a shortage of food at the time!

It was in 1846-1849

# data[].attributes.body
Irish potatoe crop failed as it had a disease  (1846- 1849) leaving many Irish people hungry as many people relied on them. Soon the hunger became unbearable. Prices of other food went up. As the Irish needed to afford other food the ended up not being able to aford their rent. Land owners took away the Irish land who weren’t able to afford their rent. By doing this the landowners became richer and were able to afford the other food. Great Famine caused the deaths of up to a million people.  No idea though :
