They are NOT equivalent. The potato famine was real.
I never said the potato famine was not real...
The persecution and ,murders of Franch protestants went on for over a hundred years 100, of 1,000s were murdered...
More fled...
Because 200,000 fled in the 1680s, many of them nobility, when the French revolution occurred there were few middle class and nobility left to stick up for the king and queen and nobility who were beheaded...
In fact the Revolution might never have even happened if the Church had not murdered and driven out the Huguenots..
There was few to protect the king...
and few to protect the Church...
