The Two Nations

BBC Two - Union with David Olusoga, Series 1, The Two Nations

A new working-class identity emerges, uniting the four nations. Famine comes to Ireland.

The 19th-century union appears secure, but beneath the surface run deep divisions, leading to the emergence of a new working-class movement - and a catastrophic famine in Ireland.

In the 19th century, the union of Great Britain and Ireland appeared to be secure and powerful. Yet beneath the surface were deep divisions between rich and poor, and social class began to define identities and loyalties. As the Reform Acts signalled great changes for the middle classes and Chartism emerged from working-class discontent, the greatest disaster in the history of the union was unfolding in Ireland: the Great Famine.
