An Entity of Type: WikicatFamines, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The chronology of the Great Famine (Irish: An Gorta Mór or An Drochshaol, lit. 'The Bad Life') documents a period of Irish history between 29 November 1845 and 1852 during which time the population of Ireland was reduced by 20 to 25 percent. The proximate cause was famine resulting from a potato disease commonly known as late blight. Although blight ravaged potato crops throughout Europe during the 1840s, the impact and human cost in Ireland – where a third of the population was entirely dependent on the potato for food but which also produced an abundance of other food – was exacerbated by a host of political, social and economic factors which remain the subject of historical debate.

  • The chronology of the Great Famine (Irish: An Gorta Mór or An Drochshaol, lit. 'The Bad Life') documents a period of Irish history between 29 November 1845 and 1852 during which time the population of Ireland was reduced by 20 to 25 percent. The proximate cause was famine resulting from a potato disease commonly known as late blight. Although blight ravaged potato crops throughout Europe during the 1840s, the impact and human cost in Ireland – where a third of the population was entirely dependent on the potato for food but which also produced an abundance of other food – was exacerbated by a host of political, social and economic factors which remain the subject of historical debate.

  • La chronologie de la grande famine irlandaise, dite localement la Grande Famine (en irlandais : An Gorta Mór ou An Drochshaol, littéralement : « La mauvaise vie »), retrace une période de l'histoire irlandaise allant de 1845 à 1852 au cours de laquelle la population de l'Irlande a été réduite de 20 à 25 pour cent. La cause immédiate est la famine résultant d'une maladie connue sous le nom de mildiou de la pomme de terre. Bien que le mildiou ait ravagé des cultures de pomme de terre dans toute l'Europe pendant les années 1840, l'impact et les coûts humains ont été exacerbés en Irlande, où un tiers de la population dépendait totalement de ce tubercule pour sa nourriture, par une série de facteurs politiques, sociaux et économiques qui font encore l'objet de débats entre historiens.
