pollypebble -MillicentF, the English treatment of the Irish, banned their language,
When was this?
culture
Irish and British 'culture' was more or less the same prior to industrialisation
and religion.
Religion wasn't' banned' as such.
Irish and British Catholics, Presbyterians, Methodists, Wesleyans etc were penalised for being non conformist. The state church was Anglican/CofE (in Ireland CofI) and it was expected that people should conform to it by attending Anglican mass. A repeated failure to attend could result in a small fine. It also meant that a 'non conformist' might be barred from some public offices, but penal laws did not just apply to the Irish and to Catholics, they applied to other denominations and to millions of British Catholics/non conformists too. It wasn't about being Irish or British or culture, penal laws applied to all
Death of one million through food laws and colonisation that resulted in the famine.
The famine was 'caused' by the potato blight Phytophthora Infestans
Use of all the country's resources, exporting food to Uk when the Irish were eating grass and dying,
The 1840's were a time of unrestricted free trade and laissez-faire policy. The same policy that saw widespread food shortages in England in the 1830's and 40's, children working long hours in coal mines and factories (average age of death in some of England's cities was 14). Pre famine, the rural Irish were healthier than many of those who living in England's slums (see army records)
The government could have done more to alleviate the famine and acted sooner, there had been warnings, but it was not a deliberate act
forced economic emigration
Most people from the famine hit areas migrated to England and Scotland. This is known as internal migration and it wasn't 'forced'
See Irish example, white culture. Did not cause genocides in other countries. All your ideas are so flawed.
Not sure what you mean here, but the Irish played just as a much a part in building the British empire/colonialism. There were plenty of Irish slave owners in the West Indies for example and many Irish were in the British army in India
BrendasUmbrella- It gets a bit murky there - English people have tried to stamp on other traditionally white cultures too -
How have 'English people' stamped on other white cultures? If you mean government? The government was made up of representatives from Britain and Ireland, it has been that way for hundreds of years.
Do you mean government pre 1177 AD and pre 1707 AD?
Or do you mean other 'white' people in the rest of the world?
BrendasUmbrella...stopping the Welsh learning their language at one point, the massive issues around Northern Ireland, and I believe we even attempted to ban the kilt at some point?...
'The English' did not 'ban' any language, Welsh, Scots or Irish. Some school teachers might have discouraged any other language than English, but this would have been at a local level and it was not government policy.
The kilt thing was for a short period when Charles Edward Stuart attempted to regain the British throne for the House of Stuart and it only applied to some regiments, it was punishable by a fine for the first offence (1746 Dress Act). A comparatively worse penalty was if an Englishman painted his face black or wore anything resembling a black disguise, he could expect to get a death sentence or a lifetime penal transportation (The Black Act 1723 , meant to discourage night time poaching)
