The young Queen Victoria fell in love with Ireland, choosing to holiday in Killarney in Kerry, in the process launching the location as one of the nineteenth century's prime tourist locations. Her love of the island was matched by initial Irish warmth towards the young Queen. In 1845, Ireland was hit by a potato blight that over four years cost the lives of over one million Irish people and saw the emigration of another million. In response to what came to be called the Irish Potato Famine (An Gorta Mor), the Queen personally donated (5000 pounds sterling) to the starving Irish people. The policies of her minister Lord John Russell were widely blamed for exacerbating the severity of the famine, killing a million Irishmen, which adversely affected the Queen's popularity in Ireland. There was more than enough food produced in Ireland during the famine, but most of it was exported by the British land owners, leaving the Irish people to die with green mouths from eating grass during their last days of starvation.

In the major cities of Great Britain such as Glasgow and London hoardes of people from the countries came to live looking for a better life. What they found was disease and pestilence. Crime was rife because of extreme poverty and women were used stricly in swearshops and as servants. Many children were left as orphans and subsequently these were the children (not to mention those taken from parents that were felt unfit.) who were to become Home Children sent to the new world in hopes of finding a better life. The sad part was that many of these children were abused terrible and were actually nothing better than slaves. Other immigrants such as those in Ireland fled extreme poverty and famine searching for a better life.
