The Great Irish Potato Famine of 1845-1850 was caused by a fungus called Late Blight that destroyed the potato crop, which was a staple food in Ireland. Over 1 million Irish people died of starvation and disease and another 2 million emigrated due to the lack of food. The potato famine was one of the worst disasters to hit Europe in the 19th century and greatly reduced Ireland's population.
