Modern tarihte İngiltere'nin en büyük baş belası olan IRA'nın kuruluşunda Türklerin de etkisi var. Türklerin İrlandalılarla olan ilişkisi Sultan Abdülmecid zamanına kadar gidiyor. 19. yüzyılın başlarında İrlandalılar İngilizler'e karşı mücadele içindeydi. Katolik İrlandalılar, kabul etmedikleri Anglikan Kilisesi'ne vergi vermeyi hazmedemiyorlardı. İngilizlerden din ve dil ekseninde ayrılıyorlardı. Ancak 1840'lı yıllarda İrlanda büyük bir kıtlık başgösterdi. Yoksulların temel yiyeceği patates üretimi durma noktasına geldi. 800 bin kişi öldü, İrlandalıların hak mücadelesi zayıfladı. İngilizler bu zayıflık durumundan faydalanırken 1847 yılında padişah Abdülmecid'in emriyle üç gemi dolusu patates yardımı İrlanda'ya Kraliçe Victoria'nın tüm engellemelerine rağmen ulaştı. Geminin Dublin Limanı'na yanaşmasını İngilizler engelleyince gemi yüklerini Drogheda Limanı'na boşalttı.

The Irish Potato "famine" wasn't a famine - it was a genocide conducted by the english on their imperial subjects (something they did multiple times afterwards i.e., in bengal, and continue to do to this day). The holodomor in contrast was the result of a genuine inability to manage food production for an unprecedented population boom. Following the overwhelming success of the bolshevik revolution, the peasants of the former russian empire were turned from backwater subsistence farmers into industrious citizens. Life expectancy was raised at a rate never before witnessed in human history (nearly doubled) within a couple decades. The ussr didn't have 500 years of slavery and a hemisphere's worth of fertile land like the imperial core. That, in combination with such rapid successful industrialization, was the actual cause of the holodomor.

Fun fact: King George III (the "tyrant", according to Americans) actually prevented the famine from starting sooner by limiting the exports of food from Ireland to England. The Irish were on the verge of starvation long before the potato blight because of abusive landlords. A factor this video doesn't touch on is the conflict between Catholics and Protestants in Britain, which is the basis for why the Irish were being abused. Like most monarchies, the British royalty and nobility used religion as justification for their right to rule. For most of Christianity's history, the Pope was considered God's representative, and if a king didn't comply with what the Pope said, the Pope could basically strip that king of his legitimacy. However, when King Henry VIII converted to Protestantism, he basically said that the Pope's authority was invalid and it was the king who was God's representative and had absolute right to rule. However, people who remained Catholic were loyal to the Pope. Thus, they were considered enemies of the state, since if they didn't believe in the legitimacy of the King, how could they be trusted to follow his laws? How could they be trusted not to overthrow the Protestant king and replace him with a Catholic king? This was the basis of the English Civil War and many other religious conflicts in Europe. One of the ways the Protestants managed this issue was to forbid Catholics from participating in politics so they couldn't influence the law. However, since part of the way that people got the right to participate in politics was by owning land or other significant property, they didn't just bar Catholics from holding political office, they also forbad them from owning any amount of property that would grant them any political influence. They also didn't want Catholics to be involved in enforcing the law by becoming lawyers or judges. In short, the Catholics were stripped of any ability to defend themselves from abuse, and Protestants removed all the social safeguards that normally mitigate abuse. The social and economic position Catholics were put in was very similar to the one Black people were put in after the abolishment of slavery in the US. So, of course, there was a LOT of abuse. Ireland didn't convert to Protestantism as easily as England, Scotland, and Wales, in part because the English had been mistreating the Irish before the Protestant Revolution, and the Irish weren't keen on converting to their oppressor's religion. In fact, there was a failed attempt at Irish independence during King Henry VIII's rule. The Irish have basically been fighting to be treated better ever since. Ireland was and is an extremely fertile country. All through the "famine" they were growing PLENTY of food, but all the food was being exported instead of being made available to the Irish people. In 1847, one of the worst years of the "famine", 822,681 gallons of butter were exported to England, along with 9,992 calves, over 4,000 horses and ponies, 336,220 gallons of grain-derived alcohol, and other crops and livestock such as peas, beans, onions, rabbits, salmon, oysters, herring, ham, bacon, lard, honey and even potatoes(!). The reason the potato blight was a problem wasn't because potatoes were the only crop that could grow in Ireland; it was because potatoes were the only crop that produced enough calories to sustain Irish tenant farmers on the tiny bits of land they were permitted to use for themselves. When the potato crops failed, the English and Protestant Irish landlords fought tooth and nail to prevent any of their cash crops from being used to feed the farmers who were growing them. The Irish Potato Famine is a misnomer - it was religiously justified genocide centuries in the making. This is proved by the fact that King George III stepped in and forced landlords to offer other food to the Irish during bad harvests long before the potato blight showed up. (If any of this is wrong, please feel free to correct me. I'm just a history nerd with some Irish ancestry and an interest in 18th century British history.)

Could have been prevented if the land was better managed, but it was mainly owned by greedy locals, who have been also forgotten in the fantastic tale that was created to fuel hatred towards the brits and push for Irish nationalism.

The story of help from the Ottoman Empire is complete bunk It was invented by Parnell on the fundraising tour of the United States in 1880/81 for good measure he told the Americans that the queen had only donated £5 to famine relief which was the same amount she donated to a dog's home. It's a matter of record that she sponsored two appeals donating £2000 of her own money each time and her husband and family made similar donations. For some incredible reason this £5 lie is still widely believed in Ireland and it must be one of the most successful political lies ever told. Donations came from all over the world but the British people at every level from convicts up to the queen donated more than anyone in addition to which railways on steamship companies carried famine relief supplies free of charge. This is the kind of history that's no good in Ireland because as one of her modern historians wrote, we want the title of MOPE the most depressed people ever. r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrirrVXRNFkdQIKeptXNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzIEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1691464919/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fjournals.openedition.org%2frfcb%2f230/RK=2/RS=.iRby.ek9dA5iZ9LJdsfqTA_Q6E-

This was not the only famine to occur in this general period, a famine in the 1700s was statistically worse in Ireland but doesn't get covered as much as the so called Great Famine. Along with that, local accounts in my area talked about how frequent Church Bells rang to mark funerals for the dead, those who could afford a funeral that is. "Never heard so many bells in one day all my life" as one account put it. An appalling state of affairs, made worse by the economic monopoly maintained by London across Ireland.

The Protestant churches opened soup kitchens but demanded that any receiver desert Catholicism and convert yo Protestantism. Most Irish Catholics would rather starve. This was not a famine.

Potato blight is an oomycete from the Phytophthora genus (which you do mention - water mould is an alternative name to oomycete). Fungi and oomycetes are often conflated. Due to convergent evolution they look very similar, but oomycetes have large spore filled egg sacks, hence the "oo" part of their name meaning egg. From an evolutionary standpoint, oomycetes are heterokonts, meaning their cells have two different flagella, while fungi are opisthosporidia, which means they have only one flagella (the same as human sperm). This difference means they diverged millions of years ago even though they look very similar!

It should also be noted that the famine crippled the landlord class since many were dependent on their tenants to grow their cash crops so when they either left (it was better being landless because you could receive aid) or died, they either went bankrupt or came close to it.

I remember reading years ago that there have been 20+ famines in Ireland; the first one being @792A.D., being caused by a) a really dreadful winter & 2) an invasion by the Scots! Just rememberin'.

The story is a £10,000 donation from the sultan is a complete fabrication invented by an Irish doctor in the 1880s but he claimed it was a British ambassador who asked the Sultan to reduce his donation. The Queen actually headed up two appeals making personal donations of £2000 each time and members of her family donated between 500 and £1000 each. Even you admit the queen sent £2000 but Parnell told the Americans that she donated £5 which was the same amount she donated to a dog's home. Incredibly this story is still believed to this day even though Her donations along with every donation to the British Association for the Irish famine are still on record As for the Turkish sending five ships the usual story is they sent 3 but that is a complete lie one of many told by Parnell in its fundraising tour of America in the 1880s. The British government was monitoring his progress and as soon as they heard it lord Randolph Churchill (Yes his father) sent a telegram refuting the story. This has not stopped it being believed to this day. Recent research by the Millmount Museum at Drogheda the port where it was supposed to be delivered have confirmed three ships did come from Turkish occupied territory carrying grain but it was a purely commercial venture. The cargoes were bought by local merchants and put into store to avoid depressing prices . Otherwise the people of Britain at every level from convicts right up to the queen donated more to Irish famine relief than anyone and British rail companies and steamship companies transported famine relief free of charge r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrirrVXRNFkdQIKeptXNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzIEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1691464919/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fjournals.openedition.org%2frfcb%2f230/RK=2/RS=.iRby.ek9dA5iZ9LJdsfqTA_Q6E-

@snickrologen - You're not blaming the English for that, I hope?! Farmers everywhere are being targetted and told to reduce their cattle by 30% or something under the banner of the 'climate crisis' because 'cow's fart too much', it's ridiculous, especially during a time when food is already in short supply. The largest fruit and vegetable producer on the Island of Jersey recently closed and they provided food for 80% of the islanders who are now relying on exports from the UK where the department of agriculture/government are already making life extremely difficult for the farmers here. There won't be enough food by a long shot and many people will die around the world and THAT'S how 'much' the governments care about the people. Meanwhile, Kill Bill Gates now owns the most farmland in the USA (known as the breadbasket of the world) so he can grow his Frankenstein GMO foods for his fake meat. No doubt he wants to own the most farmland in Europe too and he'll probably get it when the world's financially crippled farmers have to sell up. The war in Ukraine, a country known as the bread basket of Europe (I'd say Netherlands too), means little food is being grown there now, the huge gas and electricity price increases which obviously affects farmers as well as everyone else, bird flu, the neverending Covid saga with its new variants and the after effects of 'stay home, save granny don't be selfish' locking down the world for the best part of 2 years thinking that won't have a huge detrimental effect, not just economically, but mentally too and the imminent end of Fiat currency ready for the 'Great Reset' which is really a kind of Chinese Credit Score whereby they have full control of what you can and can't spend your hard earned money on and if you say anything the governments don't like, you'll be denied access to what is, or should be, rightfully yours.

It's hard to even imagine the pain and suffering these souls went through.

There was no scarcity of food in Ireland at the time of the potato blight ,hence no famine . The rich refused to share the abundance of food in Ireland so as to maintain profit levels . Thus over one million endured painful horrible deaths . Over a million emigrated . Murder on the grand scale ,motivated by greed. People are suffering and dying today in the British Isles and around the world because of the blight of unbridled greed .

I am surprised that the Irish people did not adopt the old Dutch slogan "Rather Turkish than Papist" but with the modification that make it sounds "Rather Turkish than British", and then leave for the Ottoman Empire's territories instead. Just imagine this immigration! Who knows, the Ottoman Empire might benefit from this Irish immigration just like when they welcomed the Jews and Muslims who were kicked out of Spain after the Conquest of Granada and finally catch up with the other Great Powers with the new ideas brought to the Sublime Porte.

Ireland grew many varieties of potatoes but it is estimated that 2/3 or 3/4 of the potatoes grown was the Irish Lumper. The lumper originated in Scotland and was introduced by returning Irish workers from Scotland during the early 1800s. The lumper was able to thrive on poor quality soil and grew into huge size hence the name lumper. It was originally grown as food for livestock but it prevalence demonstrated the increasing poverty among Irish rural communities. Other varieties were susceptible to the blight but the lumper was the worst hit. Ireland did have other food source like wheat, rye, barley and other grains but they were exported to Britain or its oversea colonies and the Irish got nothing. The Irish were treated as second class citizens in their own country and British policies did very little to aid them or prevent the famine. The famine was avoidable but it was British policies that resulted the famine. Potato blight was the cataclysm rather than the true cause for the famine.

Good video. As some comments already mentioned, this wasn't just about food. It was also about religion and race. The historical Roman Catholic (Irish) vs. Protestant (English) Church conflict is well known. However, the 19th century was primarily about nationalism and the rise of racial theories. It's a well documented fact that there were several English authors who openly claimed in their studies and books that Irish people (= the original Celtic inhabitants of British Isles before the Anglo-Saxon invasion) were racially inferior. There were many caricatures published in English newspapers, depicting Irish people as ugly, degenerated, stupid, lazy and drunk monkeys. It was a method very similar to what German Nazis used in the 20th century: if you dehumanize a certain social or racial group(s), it is easier for the rest of the society to see these "not-anymore-humans" vanish and die...

English were all british people of a origin. also they starved but generally their families were limited to 2-4kids equals less mouths to feed.. Also read Scottish history they ATE watery flour porridge.. No one could afford to emigrate if so poor but many emigrated.. Count Europe starvation. Don't permit wallow in victomhood out of proportion.. Famine not good for Europe UK or Ireland then. THEN AS NOW BEST SURVIOURS WERE RICHER. NO ONE WORKS ON CLOSING POVERTY GAP. SEE AFRICA CHILD BIRTHS CONTINUED THROUGHOUT FAMINE. LACKS RESPONSIBILITY..

@@robert6106 Not talking about the " British isles". The video is specifically about Ireland. The term "celtic" refers to a culture and not a defined group of people. The Irish are described as gaels and not "celts". The gaelic peoples were descendants of the different waves of people to first inhabit Ireland who much later adopted a celtic language and culture. So yes they the gaels are a defacto native population of Ireland.

I wonder, in any such tragedies, whenever the British are mentioned, unless they are suffering something, they are always piling more misery, and also, not letting others help. Something, NOT to learn from them.

The story is a £10,000 donation from the sultan is a complete fabrication invented by an Irish doctor in the 1880s but he claimed it was a British ambassador who asked the Sultan to reduce his donation. The Queen actually headed up two appeals making personal donations of £2000 each time and members of her family donated between 500 and £1000 each. Even you admit the queen sent £2000 but Parnell told the Americans that she donated £5 which was the same amount she donated to a dog's home. Incredibly this story is still believed to this day even though Her donations along with every donation to the British Association for the Irish famine are still on record As for the Turkish sending five ships the usual story is they sent 3 but that is a complete lie one of many told by Parnell in its fundraising tour of America in the 1880s. The British government was monitoring his progress and as soon as they heard it lord Randolph Churchill (Yes his father) sent a telegram refuting the story. This has not stopped it being believed to this day. Recent research by the Millmount Museum at Drogheda the port where it was supposed to be delivered have confirmed three ships did come from Turkish occupied territory carrying grain but it was a purely commercial venture. The cargoes were bought by local merchants and put into store to avoid depressing prices . Otherwise the people of Britain at every level from convicts right up to the queen donated more to Irish famine relief than anyone and British rail companies and steamship companies transported famine relief free of charge r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrirrVXRNFkdQIKeptXNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzIEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1691464919/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fjournals.openedition.org%2frfcb%2f230/RK=2/RS=.iRby.ek9dA5iZ9LJdsfqTA_Q6E-

Crazy that ottomans had to SMUGGLE FOOD IN during a famine….

That was a great video. But you must remember that the penal laws of the 18th century forced the poorest of the poor to depend on the potato. It was the only crop that was quite happy to grow halfway up a mountain. And an acre if tended with care could feed a family for a year. God brought the potato blight. But the English brought the famine. The definition of famine is a general scarcity of food. In Ireland, there was no scarcity of food. But the British laws made the Irish so poor that they could not afford to buy the produce of their own country and so it was exported to better markets.

The gravel institute KZread channel also did a good video on this topic if anyone is interested

Bad Karma has finally caught up with England, it seems.

It forgot to mention that the English Scots and Welsh pour were also starving. The pour relief at the time was administered at the local level, as well as criticizing the Westminster Government, the local Irish overseer's of the pour had the legal responsibility to act and their failures were not even mentioned.. The grain that was exported was Brought and paid for and the owners were often locked in contracts to sell, at an existing price. That they could not get out of even if they wish to.

Well frankly no. Whilst the potato crop in England and Scotland did also fail - the system of land tenure there and the fact that the population were generally not reliant on potatoes for a significant part of their diet - meant that poor both Scotland and England were much less impacted. There were repeated calls by many in Ireland and elsewhere to stop the export of food during the famine - as had happened previously when Ireland experienced food shortages in 1782-1783. As a result ports were closed to exporting food, with the intention of keeping locally grown food in Ireland to feed the hungry. Irish food prices promptly dropped. Some exporters did lobby against the export ban, but the British government in the 1780s overrode their protests. Even though the situation was absolutely dire following repeated failure of potato crops beginning in 1845 until 1851 - these repeated calls were ignored and huge volumes of foodstuffs continued to be exported from the country under armed guard "Meanwhile, in Ireland a million people starved to death, as the Irish watched with increasing fury as boatloads of homegrown oats and grain departed on schedule from their shores for shipment to England. Food riots erupted in ports such as Youghal, near Cork, where people tried unsuccessfully to confiscate a boatload of oats. At Dungarvan, in County Waterford, British troops were pelted with stones as they shot into the crowd, killing at least two people and wounding several others. British naval escorts were then provided for the riverboats"

"Poor", not "pour".

The potato famine affected the whole of North and Western Europe. Norway for one had exactly the same experience as Ireland , mass starvation and emigration to N. America. Just a bit of context here ,lads.

I WILL visit Ireland soon, my heart is with you guys.

It helps to remember that there was no precedent for dealing with natural disasters. There was no social security, no welfare state, no emergency food mountains, no tinned rations and no body of civil servants or national guard to undertake a relief operation. In fact until recent times the very idea of the government intervening in anything beyond raising taxes to support the army and navy would have been derided as tyranny. Government was restricted by constitutional statutes as well as by practicalities, they were basically not entitled to hand out state money to solve social problems and certainly would have been paralysed by legal action had they attempted to force business owners to distribute free food. Without a centralised response, local landlords, agricultural companies and shipping lines took the entirely understandable view that they had to keep trading in order to support their own workers and their families. There was also famine in England by the way, and complaints of hoardes of beggars migrating from town to town in search of relief. The reason Britain subsequently led the world in creating a welfare state is probably because of this historical experience, so it is grossly unfair to recast it as "the callous English tyrannising the poor Irish". That is nationalist spin not historical explanation.

Incorrect. There were indeed precedents in dealing with similar disasters. There were repeated calls by many in Ireland and elsewhere to stop the export of food during the famine as had happened previously when Ireland experienced food shortages in 1782-1783. And when as a result ports were closed to exporting food, with the intention of keeping locally grown food in Ireland to feed the hungry. Irish food prices promptly dropped. Some exporters did lobby against the export ban, but the British government in the 1780s overrode their protests. Despite this precedent and even though the situation was absolutely dire following the repeated failure of potato crops from 1845 until 1851 - the repeated calls were ignored and huge volumes of foodstuffs continued to be exported from the country under armed guard Many private individuals and organisations tried to help during the famine providing both money and assistance. Following prime minister Robert Peels somewhat successful efforts to ameliorate the growing disaster in the first year of the famine, the succeeding British government effectively washed their hands of providing financial assistance to those who were starving. Remembering that less than 20 years previously some 20 million had been paid by the British government to compensate wealthy slave owners, and in 1815 some 185 million was spent covering the various costs of the Napolonic War. Noticeably the attitude of the British administration to Ireland stands in stark contrast to that espoused on Scotland. Charles Trevelyan who became Assistant Secretary to the Treasury in London in 1840 and held that office until 1859, was put in overall charge of the administration of Government relief during that period. Speaking of the worsening situation in Scotland, he is on record as saying that the people of Scotland *must not, under any circumstances, be allowed to starve* Not long afterwards he he details how he saw the Famine in Ireland as a “mechanism for reducing surplus population” and that *The judgement of God sent the calamity to teach the Irish a lesson, that calamity must not be too much mitigated* So in effect we have one group of people who were not to be allowed to starve, whilst another could go whistle. So no - there is no widespread "nationalis spin" with regard to the recorded history of the famine in Ireland other than the usual denial and evident British nationalism which appears to rear its uglyhead whenever there is a discussion on the topic of the famine in Ireland where a million people died and a million more were forced to emigrate because they had little choice but to do so.
