Aka their anglo-irish landowners who consider themselves irish. In other words you are blaming the irish themselves.
>>52231335
A lot of the issues the Irish faced in that time period were self-inflicted, but English mismanagement of the province exacerbated things considerably.
Banter aside, it is kinda shitty that the Irish went through all they did, but lost their language for the most part in the process (with the exception of some enclaves on the western coast).

Several issues. firstly there was very little land for agriculture, due to changes in inheritance during the 18th century farms were subdivided on an owners death between his children. This resulted in farms being greatly reduced in area each generation. By the time of the 'great' famine most people didn't have enough land to feed themselves on any crop other than potato. Secondly there were the consequences of the kingdoms being unified since the last famine, there was no possibility of closing the ports as had occurred during the previous famine in the 18th century. Unlike the previous famine ireland remained a net exporter of food for its duration. primarily cattle and grain.
The whig government believed it was divine providence punishing the catholics in ireland, they also believed the free market would fix everything and providing assistance would be worse than doing almost nothing.
The english didn't cause the famine, but they also did fuck all to help despite having abolished our government and directly ruling us.
>>52238002
>were self-inflicted
Are you actively trying to seem uninformed?
>>52238332
People at the time weren't godless heathens and actually believed the bible tripe.
>>52231335
Didn't the British try to like blockade any aid to irish during the great famine or something? I think turkey or something sent a bunch of free food to Ireland but England turned them away. I tried google but couldn't find anything

What are you talking about? Most people didn't own any land but had to rent it, usually by working the land for the landlord and they had a little plot for themselves.
>>52231335
Hey, how dare you make fun of my 50% irish heritage you inbred cunt.

Nope. What actually happened is that the tories helped them, and then the liberals won the next election and thought lassaiz faire charity would be a great idea instead.

Yes and that little plot was commonly the same plot their parents and their parents parents worked. Each time the previous tenant died the son would take it up. Each time the plot was reduced in size.

I think the Turkish sultan wanted to make a donation, but Queen Victoria told him to make a smaller one, so as not to show her up.
I think the modern equivalent would be North Korea sending blankets and medical supplies to Detroit.

Thats good, it means the only notable irishman in history is james joyce as the rest were anglo irish.
>>52231335
nice try
Irish were growing all variety of crops as well as fishing, they were overtaxed by brits so only crop cheap enough to sustain them was potato.
Also Ottomans sent help but Queen used warships to turn them back as it would put the Queen in bad light if Ottomans offered more help then the Queen.
>>52231702
harsh but true
>>52238928
No, just stupid.
>>52238873
So?
>>52239042
It means you can either claim they are english and so the only notable irish person in history was james joyce, or admit they are irish and that the famine was self inflicted.
>>52238620
The English refused to just donate food because they thought it would cause the markets to collapse.

Ye, Catholic Irish passed anti-Catholic laws. Catholics ripped the Treaty of Limerick apart and told the English to just come and fuck us up.

He is. The conservative party did try to help attenuate the effects of the famine. But his party split over reducing bread prices, the next government, the whigists, was not so willing to intercede.
