When speaking of starvation as a tool, it is not right to pass Ukraine, Kuban and other similar places of organized famine in silence.

The potato famine in Ireland as well.

I see a minor difference between a natural crop blight and forcible removal and destruction of foodstuffs from large areas by malevolent state agency. The latter did happen in Ukraine and other places, but I was not aware of it happening in Ireland potato famine. It routinely happened in medieval warfare, though, and even later, in Thirty Years war.
