what is great Irish potato famine?
Answers
Answer:
This answer is the only one that is specifically refering to the Irish inmigration and that states a cause-effect relationship between the potato famine and the immigration. The words "as a result" show this; first the potato famine occured, then, caused by it, about two million people left Ireland. Option A and B never mention the immigration issue. Option D never states this cause-effect relationship, it only tells us
Answer:
The Great Famine Irish or the Great Hunger, was a period of mass starvation and disease in Ireland from 1845 to 1849. With the most severely affected areas in the west and south of Ireland, where the Irish language was dominant, the period was contemporaneously known in Irish as an Drochshaol, loosely translated as the "hard times" (or literally, "The Bad Life"). The worst year of the period was 1847, known as "Black '47"). During the famine, about one million people died and a million more emigrated from Ireland, causing the island's population to fall by between 20% and 25%.
