Answer 1

a concurrent nationalist uprising turned public sentiment against Ireland

Explanation:

• Irish nationalists interpret history so that the government deliberately used famine to oppress, displace and crush the Irish people as it continued to export food from Ireland to England, further exacerbating the catastrophe.
• Critics, however, point out that the food shortage was so great that the famine could not be alleviated or that all of the country's food remained within Irish borders.
• Also, large quantities of cereals were imported. However, grain prices were so high that the average resident of Ireland could not buy them.
• Also, under British law, the Irish were forbidden from fishing or hunting, so they only had agriculture they could rely on. Some have therefore called the Irish famine a "passive genocide".
