Aye man. The population in Ireland in 1841 was 8.1 million, by 1911 it had fallen to 4.4 million due to british genocide. This gets glossed over in history class though, they just call it a "famine"

We still haven't recovered and all but lost out language due to this. Don't even get me starter on how we're still treated in the north and rest of UK.
