But in the Irish famine of the late 1840s, successive blasts of potato blight - or to give it its proper name, the fungus Phytophthora infestans - robbed more than one-third of the population of their usual means of subsistence for four or five years in a row.
The great Irish famine occured as a result of intoxication of the countryâs most fundamental food source, which was potato, in 1845. As a result of the famine, 1 million people died and around 2 million people migrated to America. Catholic Ireland was suffering from the merciless exploitation of England.
