The Potato Famine

Hello everybody!
We recently talked in class about the world's problems, and I thougth it was a good idea too know more about the one I'm more interested with (The famine) and also about the british history.
Here is a link that will send you to a page about the potato famine (also called great famine), a historical success that left Ireland without almost all the food they had because of a horrible disease that affected potatos.
Here's a summary about this famine, and if you want to know more, here's a longer one.
