| dc.description.abstract | Famines throughout history have been at the forefront of events that cannot be erased from human memory. The extent and notoriety of the Irish Potato Famine of 1845-1852, also called the Great Famine, surpassed many other famines. During this famine in Ireland, one million people lost their lives and two million people migrated to other countries. The famine in Ireland attracted the attention of the Ottoman Empire, and Sultan Abdulmecit provided financial aid to the Irish people. Even though it is an important subject for both Ottoman-Irish/English relations as well as Irish history, there is only one study, a master's thesis, on the Irish Potato Famine of 1845-1852. Based on primary sources such as Ottoman, British and Irish Newspapers, this article aims to analyse in a comparative and analytical way and demonstrate how Ottoman and UK newspapers covered the Irish Potato Famine of 1845-1852. In this sense, the main focus will be on The Times, one of the most important newspapers of the UK and Ottoman newspapers, Ceride-i Havadis and Takvim-i Vekayi. | |
