Ireland is providing financial assistance to the native US suffering from COVID-19. The reason for this is the small assistance which was provided 173 years old, which they did at the time when Ireland was dealing with a shortfall of potatoes. Millions of Irish people lost their lives during that period. Today we will give you information about the potato famine in Ireland, which started in the year 1845.

A particular fungus named Phytophthora infestans in Ireland had completely destroyed potato farming. The series came to an end in 1852 after a full seven years, not a year or two. More than 1 million Irish humans had died of starvation and bad potatoes. Millions of people left Ireland and went to other countries. It is said that due to the famine of potatoes, the population of Ireland had reduced by 25 per cent.

Due to fungus in the same potatoes, Irish leaders told Queen Victoria about the starvation and urged them to help humans. At that time Ireland was under British rule. Queen Victoria withdrew Corn Law as an aid. Due to the withdrawal of corn law, the price of food grains became relatively low, but even then the hunger could not end. Ireland was an agricultural farming country in the 19th century. But due to famine and pandemics, Ireland took a bath. In return for this small help, Ireland is also helping.
