Why is British ?

This series is British because it takes place in Ireland during the great Irish famine, all the characters have British first names, the historical and geographical context takes place in Ireland. The characters fight against the British government. This famine was largely the result of fifty years of disastrous interactions between British imperial economic policy, inappropriate farming methods and the appearance of mildew on the island. At the time, mildew almost completely wiped out the local potato crops, which were the staple food of the vast majority of the population, the Irish peasantry.
