Genocide has been repeated throughout history, but it was only in the 20th Century that people became horrified at the results - particularly because of the mechanism by which an entire people could be eliminated from the planet with cold efficiency.

The Irish Potato Famines of 1845-49: A British Genocide?
As we Irish [and all others--remember everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day] get ready to celebrate St. Patrick's Day again with all of its gaieties, we should bear in mind the horrors of the last famine in Europe, the Irish potato famines of 1845-1849. Over 1 million Irish men and women lost their lives between 1845 and 1849, and a further million [the ancestors of the vast majority of Irish living in North America today]were forced to immigrate. This essay tries to examine whether the British actions in response to the famines amounted to genocide.
