Our main food is rice.
What happens if one day, an epidemic in rice causes the world to be unable to harvest rice?
The prices of flour and meat will surge
There will be more people who do not have enough money to buy food.
So many people will starve to death.
The famine is the situation that humanity can not eat.
In the past, Ireland had a population of 8 million.
But after famine, the population dropped to 4 million.
The cause was potatoes.
This case is called Great Famine.
Ireland was a British colony in the past.
All the cattle and pigs, including the crops growing in Ireland, were sent to England.
So the Irish needed a crop that could be eaten all year round and grow well on poor land
A potato called the Devil's Crop
It was the most affordable food because it was cheap
Potato is a representative turmeric crop with corn
It was the best crop to mass produce in a bad environment.
Thanks to the potatoes, the Irish were able to withstand poverty
They could keep hoping that someday they could be independent.
Ironically, Ireland is hit by potatoes.
In 1842, a large-scale potato blight called potato blight began to flow in the eastern United States.
Potato blight proliferates in leaves
At a temperature of more than 10 degrees Celsius and a humidity of 75% or more, it spreads throughout the crop in two days.
The rain was the best condition
And because it flew in the wind to infect crops
It was not easy to prevent potato blight.
The plague that started in the US quickly spread to Europe, and Ireland was no exception.
In the summer of 1845 Ireland was exceptionally rainy
The potato plague could be active.
Irish potato farming has been completely ruined.
Other foods are the situation that Britain is taking
The Irish are gradually starving to death.
Especially in the winter of 1846 to 1847, the Great Famine caused the most deaths
The government has not come up with a reasonable solution
As a result, more than a million people died.
Citizens began to emigrate to the United States.
Potatoes have increased to 8 million.
Potatoes have shrunk to 4 million.
The Great Famine was the harshest famine in history
"Irish people can not bear the hunger"
Bottled water full of bottles
Hearty food
These things on the Internet are influenced by the Great Famine
The development of potato dishes in Ireland
Famous for Fish and Chips is the influence of Great Famine
