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?
