IRELAND (continued): • The Irish potato famine of the 1840s was the result of blight, a disease that destroyed the leaves and tubers of the plant. Years of unusually cool weather with large amounts of precipitation combined with the water mold Phytophthora infestans caused the potatoes to rot in the field year after year. Nearly half of Ireland’s population depended solely on the potato for food. As a result of the five-year blight, about one million Irish perished from starvation or famine-related diseases. Another estimated two million emigrated away from Ireland, and the island’s population declined by nearly 25% between 1844 and 1851. The population has never returned to pre-famine levels. • In 1908, the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast was expanded to accommodate the construction of two massive ocean liners, the Titanic and the Olympic. In April of 1912, the completed Titanic sailed out of Belfast to pick up passengers at ports in England, France, and Ireland for its maiden voyage. The last port of call was Queenstown, Ireland, where hundreds of Irish waited to immigrate to America. Four days later, the ship lay at the bottom of the North Atlantic, having hit an iceberg, 450 miles short of their New York City destination. • Ireland did not enter World War II, choosing to remain a neutral country. • Although the name of Patrick is closely associated with the country of Ireland, it’s far from the most popular boy’s name. Jack is the number one name for boys there, with Patrick a distant 19th. • An athlete from Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, has the choice of competing for either Great Britain or Ireland at the Olympic Games.
