Posted in r/Ireland earlier after a conversation i had about the famine. My friend and i consider it a genocide while the other said it was just a famine. Im Irish myself so definitely biased but I cant understand why it is not recognised as a genocide. Go raibh míle ☘
I answered this question recently. There was also a few previous answers linked.
I agree with Mark McGowan’s conclusion that it wasn’t a genocide, but also feel the word “genoslaughter” coined by Brendan O’Leary (mentioned in the discussion post I linked) is apt to describe the British response.
