The Origins of the Potato Blight

Bird shit drove colonization in the Pacific Ocean because they wanted to find islands made out of bird shit. The period from 1800 up to 1884 is actually known as the guano age it was this huge European colonial scramble for islands in the Pacific that are made out of birds' shits and then sent back to Europe which would feed crops better than any manure, cause a population expansion since people were getting better food back in Europe. One theory as to how the actual potato blight the disease got from Peru to Ireland to kill all the potatoes is because the people of Ireland were buying commercially available fertilizer which came from the bird shit islands of Peru.
