Nope

Potatoes had a disease or something

they probably had some of those little golden bug fuckers

?

@Deleted User No, disease made the potatoes inedible, meaning that the main and practically only crop grown in ireland became useless.

@Mr. E#2794 there are some weird little golden bugs that eat off the potatoes and its leafs and making the potatoe die out

I mean yeah, what do you expect when the brits practically oppressed them and didn't care for their food supplies much.

@Deleted User No, it wasn't those.

@Deleted User well shit, they were surrounded with sea, why didn't they go fishing

Or farms.

They did.

Yeah it was some disease.

You can't live off fish

in Ireland

not enough.

@Deleted User Try moving all of your industry into fishing in an area that dosen't have that many fish in it to begin with, instantly.

fish contains omega 3 fatty acids that help with your brain @Mr. E#2794

I know.

And?

@Deleted User Do you know what you are talking about?

@Deleted User yeah

Really dosen't seem like it.

but erm

they could eat other plants

like turnips

apples

unless they were diseased aswell

Not really, the terrain in ireland is special, and not many crops that can be grown en masse that can feed many people can be grown there.

Apples and turnips can't feed millions, not to mention that they weren't grown in ireland.

Again, you really don't know what you are talking about, do you?

look idk what plants are grown in fucking ireland

except spuds/potatoes

Then why make a statement that claims that ireland could have solved the situation by planting other plants?

well idk, ireland could have asked other countries for help

They did

Not much came back

except from native americans

There was a shrine for them in ireland

ah

@Deleted User They did.

@Mr. X I doubt they got anything other than a few packages that could feed a few people from the indians.
