A graphical representation of famine mortality from 1846 to 1852. The potato blight decimated the primary food source, leading to widespread starvation, disease, and displacement. Approximately one million people perished, while another million emigrated in desperate conditions, marking one of Ireland's darkest periods. The British government's inadequate response exacerbated the crisis. The Great Famine's profound impact on Irish society, culture, and demographics continues to be remembered as a tragic chapter in Irish history.

Excess mortality refers to the number of deaths above the expected number for a given population and time period. It is often used in public health and epidemiology to measure the impact of events such as epidemics, natural disasters, or other crises.
