Starting in 1169, Norman forces invaded Ireland to help Diarmaid Mac Murchada (in English, Dermont Mac Murrough), the King of Leimster, who had been driven out by his enemies. However, they did not then leave, but stayed and established themselves in Leimster. Henry II then claimed Ireland as part of his kingdom. However, the whole of Ireland did not really come under full English control as such until the 17th century. For a long time, English rule was not effective except in a small region around Dublin known as the Pale. After the Nine Years' War, however, the last of the great Gaelic lords were forced to emigrate (the Flight of the Earls)allowing the British to take over Ulster, which was the final bastion of the old Irish kings. Other than during various rebellions, the British rule remained in place from the 17th century until the Irish War of Independence started in 1919. In 1922, the war came to an end with the British recognising the independence of 26 of the 32 counties of Ireland.

∙ 13y agothe conquest of Ireland was gradual, beginning in 1169 and ebbing back and forth for centuries, but the last major resistance finished in 1603, and all of the island was then under British rule.
The republic separated in 1921, but of course 6 Irish counties (Northern Ireland) remain part of the United Kingdom
