An Irish bid for political freedom in the 1840s was primarily sparked by the Potato Famine that began in 1845, leading to mass starvation and emigration. Coupled with rising political discontent and the inspiring revolutionary movements across Europe, the urgency for reform grew significantly among the Irish population. This combination of dire social conditions and political aspirations ultimately led to attempts at rebellion, including the 1848 uprising by the Young Irelanders.
