Irish Famine Ireland Genocide Flag

History teaches us that the millions who died in Ireland during the "Famine" of 1845-1852 would have survived had the British not exported millions of tons of food from Ireland. This was an act of Genocide.

The most traumatic event of modern Irish history is undoubtedly the Great Famine of the mid-nineteenth century. By the end of 1847 the British government was effectively turning its back financially on a starving people in the most westerly province of the United Kingdom. The famine was to run for a further two or three years, making it one of the longest-running famines in Irish and European history. Before it had run its awful course, more than one million people had perished of hunger and famine-related diseases. Viewed globally, it was one of the worst famines of modern times.
