The Irish Great Famine, or An Gorta Mór, refers to events between 1845 and 1852, when the Irish nation was devastated by an agricultural catastrophe with effects that can be discerned to the present day. An estimated 1.5 million men, women, and children died of starvation and disease. [Source: The SAGE Encyclopedia of World Poverty; Irish Famine]
