I have always known that the potato blight did not kill millions of Irish people. A potato blight does not destroy other crops or farm animals. When I was doing history with my oldest son some years ago his book stated that the famine was caused by monoculture, the worst piece of revisionist history I had encountered. If it has been Russia or another foreign power that had held Ireland enslaved for over 800 years then the loudest condemnation would have come from the British. They would have started a World War to free us. Now isn't that ironic.
