Just googling around, there's a lot of stuff that the British government has to apologize for, but hasn't. Specifically * Irish Potato Famine * Acadian Expuls

I'm sure there's more.
- nailer 17y agoI'm not sure why you're being moderated down. The conditions causing the Potato Famine to have such devastating consequences are known to be a political issue rather than than an ecological one. Wikipedia has a fairly extensively referenced article on the issue http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland). See 'Causes and contributing factors'.
- ojbyrne 17y agoI generally just assume that it's common knowledge that it was genocide by neglect, and was copied and improved upon by Germanic efficiency 80 years later. As evil as the holocaust was, the groundwork was laid by the British (and Canadians/Americans) the century before.
