The Irish Famine's Impact on Immigration to America

The Irish Famine of 1848 was a significant push factor that compelled many immigrants to flee to America in search of food and better living conditions. As crops failed and starvation loomed, countless individuals sought refuge in a land where sustenance was available. Without food, families faced dire circumstances, leading to a mass exodus. Additionally, events like the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945 resulted in similar tragedies, showcasing how crises drive people to seek safety and survival in unfamiliar territories.

Presentation Transcript

  1. One of the push factors that caused immigrants to move to America was the Irish famine in 1848 (Doc 1). A famine is when all of the crops die and there is no more food for people to eat (OI). Because there was no food, people needed to go to a country where food was available. In Hiroshima alone, over 75,000 people died the day fat man was dropped on the city (Russo, 72). These people died from a variety of medical problems.
