What could be a specific research question to write about on the Irish Famine?

2015-11-18 6:27 pm
I m writing a research paper on the Irish Famine and I haven t decided what kind of specific question I would like to do.

This disaster was a byproduct
of many factors including the ecological catastrophe unleashed by the infestation
of a new plant disease;the nature of the Irish countryside on the eve of the famine;
the society of Ireland in the mid-1800s; the religious beliefs, economic precepts,
ethnic bigotries, and scientific ideas
of the time;and the connections among
Ireland and other lands. Beyond the enormous death toll, the famine had other far-reaching effects, including the acceleration of the Irish diaspora.

Can someone help me figure a good question to write about?

How much of it was avoidable. Even with the plant disease, the land owners were still exporting food crops.

What effect did the Irish Famine have on its people?

Perhaps tracking the Irish immigration to the US, both before, during, and after the famine, with a title such as "Famine as a Driving Force for Mass Migration". You could also research other famines, such as the African droughts from a couple of decades ago, and compare their impact upon US immigration.
