The causes for the unrest in Ireland, before and after 1642 were many and varied. In summary, the conflict stemmed from religious and ethnic differences and the Irish Catholics fear of an invasion by anti-Catholic forces of the English Long Parliament, in league with the Scottish Covenanters (settlers in Ireland). Additionally, the rebels suspected an alliance with Charles I, Scotland, and protestant Ireland.
This mistrust, along with a series of incidents, aggravated the situation leading up to, and ultimately resulting in, the Irish Rebellion in 1641. Like all rebellions, it had been smoldering for a long time prior to open conflict. Then, what began as a coup attempt, descended into the chaos of civil war.

The war continued in Ireland until 1649 when, in the name of the British Parliament, Oliver Cromwell invaded Ireland, subjecting it in 1653. With Cromwell's conquest, nearly all Catholic-owned land was confiscated and Catholic influence in Ireland was marginalized.
