Because there was a break down of Law and Order in Ireland. Catholics were being treated unfairly and protestants were outnumbering them. There was no talking of this situation in Parliament so the problem would never be solved. The catholics and protestants were on the brink of civil war. Of course the border made in 1921 to separate northern Ireland and Ireland was only meant to be temporary however this just added to both catholics and protestants frustration. So of course the British troops had to be sent it, it was inevitable.

How did Ireland go to war with England?
Ireland has never gone to war with England as such. Irish history is long and complicated in this regard, Throughout 800 years of Irish history, there have been many revolutions in Ireland against British occupation, and a war of independence was fought in Ireland between 1919 and 1921. This lead to a treaty which created what are now called Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland was kept under British control, while the rest of Ireland became independent. In the period since then there were troubles within Northern Ireland, most notably between 1969 and 1994. This was in the form of terrorism and not open warfare as is often believed by some people. The troubles were almost exclusively within Northern Ireland and not throughout Ireland, which is another misconception. There were some incidents in the Republic of Ireland and some in Britain, but very few. The troubles were between those who wanted Northern Ireland to join the rest of Ireland in independence and those that wanted to stay under British control. The Irish and British armies were not fighting each other. British army soldiers were based in Northern Ireland, dealing with the terrorism there. Since 1994 and through an ongoing peace process, this has quietened down a lot now, though there are still occasional isolated incidents by some extremists.
