<em>The Irish potato famine,</em> also known as the "Great Hunger" began in 1845 and rapidly spread through out Ireland, being a central reason on why many Irish citizens had to immigrate to American and other nations. Caused by a fungus organism, the infestation ruined half of all the potato crops of that year and almost three quarters of the crops for the following seven years before the famine would end. Irish farmers relied heavily on the potato production, and because of the famine all of the Irish society suffered greatly, with over a million deaths caused by it and at least another million of citizens forced to move out of the country, many of whom went to live in America.

  • British Colonies in the Americas were established by royal charter. French colonies started as fur trading posts and then developed later to common colonies. Spanish colonies were crown-sponsored conquests to find riches such as gold and silver.
  • The British colonies had population mostly from colonists that were recruited among middle-class farmers, servants, and convicted criminals. French colonies population were initially traders, merchants and missionaries, later some soldiers were given land there. Spanish colonies population consisted of conquerors, soldiers and missionaries.
  • The economy from each colony was different, in the British colony the economy was diverse and included mostly farming, fishing and trading products like tobacco, rice, timber, and fish. The French colony economy like said before, was established over fur trade and some plantations on the Mississippi valley. The Spanish colonies economy was a trading economy that consisted of farming but it was heavily regulated by the Spanish crown.
  • The British colony started with a friendly relationship with the Native Americans, eventually, things changed when they needed to get new land. The French colony relationship with Native Americans was good, they respected them and forged alliances. Spanish colony relationship with Native Americans was bad when they were not killed by soldiers, they were subjugated or converted to Christianity.

In 1914, Japan controlled the Japanese Archipelago, the Korean peninsula, and the island of Taiwan. It also had control over the southern half of the Sakhalin Peninsula.

Japan's presence in mainland territory of Asia allowed it to extract raw materials and labor power from this places, to trade more easily with the surrounding areas, and these areas also served it as a base for further territorial expansion, which the country would engage in in the following two decades and until World War II.
