Why did religion cause disagreements between Ireland and British?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
The Brits are Protestant and the Irish are Catholic. The British formed the Anglican Church of England and especially when Cromwell invaded Ireland and attempted a genocide of the Catholic Irish, these religious differences caused problems that have lasted between the two. The British took all of the land of the Catholics in Ireland and gave it to Protestants, which you can still see today (its called Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK).

What is the source of conflict between Ireland and Northern Ireland?
There is no conflict between the north and the republic. Basically Ireland was under british rule and events in the years after the 1916 rising led to The British 'giving back' Ireland, ie creating a republic. Although, 6 counties in Ulster (out of 9) were kept under british rule, and are now Northern Ireland. Within northern Ireland there are nationalists, those who want the north to join the republic, and unionists, those who want to remain under british rule. Therefore the conflict is generally confined within the north..
Why was there fighting between Ireland and northern Ireland?
There has not been fighting between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. There was fighting between England (Britain or the United Kingdom) and the Irish when all of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. The treaty that ended that fighting created the Republic of Ireland in the south and Northern Ireland (still part of the United Kingdom) in the north. After that, the IRA (Irish Republican Army) used violent means to try to push the British forces out of Northern Ireland and reunite the entire island. However, the Republic of Ireland did not participate in that activity and did not fight the British in Northern Ireland.
