Latchkey History - The Great Hunger, Why Ireland nearly disappeared
In 1845, a mysterious blight turned Ireland’s emerald fields into a landscape of rot and ruin. What began as a failed potato crop quickly spiraled into "The Great Hunger"—a period of starvation, mass eviction, and global migration that nearly erased a nation.
In this episode we dive deep into the harrowing years of the Great Irish Famine (1845–1852).
What you’ll discover:
The Potato Blight: How a fungus from the Americas traveled across the Atlantic to trigger a catastrophe.
The Politics of Hunger: Why food was still being exported while millions starved, and the controversial "Free Market" policies of Prime Minister John Russell.
Survival & Loss: The grim reality of "Black '47," workhouses, and the families who were forced to eat grass to survive.
A Global Legacy: How the Choctaw Nation and donors from around the world stepped in, and how the Irish Diaspora transformed cities like New York and Boston.
The Great Hunger is more than a story of tragedy; it is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a culture that refused to die.
