Nice shoehorn of anglo-saxon history, but those famines are all plagues and crop faliures for the most part.

They forced farmers to grow indigo crops instead of natural cotton/wheat/rice.

Im pretty sure that was not during the drought itself, nor really caused it. It economically made sense and then probably exacerbated the famine.

It wasn't just the drought. Indigo cropping destroyed the soil first, drought exacerbated the problems.
