The 1828 Famine was a famine in Anteria caused by the PLACEHOLDER pest.It affected the nations of Assumptaria,Plattinumand Jernborg. It occured from 1828-1832
Cause of the Famine
The famine was caused by a preexisting pest that had existed in Assumptaria. Previously the PLACEHOLDER pest would inhabit the assumptarian countryside and then move to forest area to consume the plantlife however a rural estate boom had occured in Assumptaria which led to the pest changing it's natural behaviour to consume the crops of the assumptarian farmland. Because of this unusual change in behaviour happening so suddenly the farmers were not aware and not prepared for PLACEHOLDERS to begin to consume their crops.
Political Effects of the Famine
The famine greatly shaped the national mindsets and character of all nations involved.
Morbh Go Lear
Morbh Go Lear is the name given to the assumptarian genocide of the non-ilanean population in Assumptaria. The genocide was triggered by the populace of Assumptaria believing that they were the victim of a conspiracy by the non-ilanean minorities in Assumptaria. This was affirmed in the assumptarian mindset by the facts that the farmers during the famine often belonged to minorities and that the farmers often tended to suffer worse from the famine then the rest of the populace. The assumptarians accused them of hoarding the food.
