Great Famine, also called Irish Potato Famine, Great Irish Famine, or Famine of 1845–49, famine that occurred in Ireland in 1845–49 when the potato crop failed in successive years. The crop failures were caused by late blight, a disease that destroys both the leaves and the edible roots, or tubers, of the potato plant.

Explanation:
The great famine of Ireland was a period of illness, death and misery that occurred in the nineteenth century (1845-1852), which killed one million people and forced the emigration of millions of other Irish to North America. According to historians, the great hunger occurred because something like a fungus contaminated a large volume of potatoes, making it impossible to consume them and starving the Irish.
The Great Leap resulted in tens of millions of deaths, with estimates ranging between 18 million and 45 million deaths, making the Great Chinese Famine the largest in human history.
