The Irish immigrants came to America largely because of The Great Famine. The Great Famine, also known as the Irish Potato Famine, occurred between 1845 and 1852 and resulted in severe food shortages, leading many Irish people to emigrate in search of better opportunities and to escape dire conditions at home.
