I would say that the potato famine in Ireland in the mid-1800's was rather than a pull phenomenon was a push phenomenon to push the affected people to seek a better life in this case in the US. Over 1 million Irish emigrated to the US at this time, some of them settling in Boston.

The statement is - True.


The potato famine in Ireland in the 1800's had a devastating effect on the Irish population. Two of the biggest consequences were:


1. Starvation; because of the potato famine around one million people had died from starvation which is close to 1/8 of the total Irish population in that period, and most of the population in the country was on verge of dying from starvation and barely made it through.


2. Migration; the potato famine caused a mass migration from Ireland towards the USA in order to have a better life or at least food on the table. It is estimated that probably around two million Irish people migrated to the USA in this period which is staggering almost 1/4 of the total Irish population.

In complete sentences, discuss the three major religions in Western Europe. Which is the most dominant religion, and how has it
weeeeeb [17]

The tree largest religions in Western Europe are the Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

Depending on the county in Western Europe, there are differences in the type of Christianity type practiced, with the Catholicism and Protestantism being the most dominant ones. The Islam is the second largest religion, relatively new in this part of the continent and also a relatively quick growing one. The Judaism is the third largest religion in this part of Europe, but it has much less followers than the top two. The atheism is worth mentioning, despite not being a religion but the opposite of it, as the non-religious population in Western Europe is actually the second largest one, in front of the Islam and Judaism.

The culture of this region has largely been shaped and set on the foundations of the Christianity, mostly the Catholicism, with later diverging fraction of it. The Church has played a big role in the societies, politics, economy of this region for almost two millenniums, so it is carved in the cultural aspects of the nations living there.
