Detailed Solution

The Great Irish Potato Famine occurred during 1845-1849.
When disease destroyed the potato harvest in the middle of the 1840s, Ireland's poorest peasants were so dependent on them that thousands perished from famine. It started in 1845 when Phytophthora infestans, also known as P. infestans, spread quickly throughout Ireland. It led to over a million deaths and had a far-reaching effect on the country's cultural, social, and political climate.
