The Potato Famine in Ireland, which occurred in the mid-1800s, is considered a "push" factor that caused many Irish people to migrate to the U.S. A "push" factor refers to conditions that drive people away from their home country, while a "pull" factor attracts them to a new country. The famine created dire circumstances in Ireland, prompting people to leave in search of better opportunities.
