* Religion. Henry VIII converted from Catholic to Protestant, causing the Irish living in 'The Pale' to change from Catholic to Protestant. This basically created a large problem - a division in the people. * The connection between Ireland and England goes way back into the time of the Celts and before the Roman invasion. Back in those days, Ireland, England and Scotland were basically separete countries. The big problem with Ireland and England these days is that the Irish have generations of resenting the English for taking over their country and ruling them, whereas the English consider Ireland just a part of their conquered countries. So while the current issue is religion, the real problem goes much deeper. Take a look at some of the historic movies and/or novels that have been created around this subject to learn more.
