The reason the Irish wanted home rule was not because of high yield potato crops in the mid-1800s. The desire for home rule refers to the Irish people's desire for self-governance and independence from British rule. It was rooted in a long history of political and cultural oppression, inequality, and discrimination experienced by the Irish population under British colonial rule. The Great Famine, which occurred in the mid-1800s and was primarily caused by a devastating potato blight, further exacerbated the difficult conditions faced by the Irish people. However, it was not the cause for the demand for home rule.
