its a possibliity
No, it is between Protestants and Catholics.
The Irish frequently refer to the conflict in Northern Ireland as "the troubles".
It was not over religion, do research.
The conflict is primarily between the religious factions, Catholic and Protestant. Since it remained part of the UK, Northern Ireland has a history of Protestant domination in government and the economy. This friction has been expressed several times in violence and terrorism on both sides. The Nationalists continue to seek a union of the six Northern Ireland counties with larger Ireland, which is Catholic.
Northern Ireland was another religious fight. This time it was between the Protestants and the Catholics.
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.
the protestant majority wanted to remain a part of great britian, while the catholics minority wanted to unify with the republic of Ireland.
It's not religion, as the media says, but politics. Most Protestants consider themselves British or Loyalist (loyal to the crown), most Catholics Nationalist (want Ireland to be one nation) Many Catholics believe that Protestants opressed them and groups such as the IRA fought against the protestant government in England as they want to be ruled by Dublin in the Republic of Ireland. Protestant groups such as the UDA and UVF fought to defend the union as they are loyal to the crown. In the 1990s a peace process started and things are much improved now, with both sides working together.
None anymore but in the 1960s-1990s there was conflict between the protestants and Catholics of the land because the Catholics wanted an united Ireland and the protestants wanted Northern Ireland to stay under British rule . no fighting anymore despite rumours from other sources
That depends on whom you are talking about, for instance in the sixteenth century in the Holy Roman Empire, it was the other way around, the Peace of Westphalia legislated that whatever religion the ruler was, all the people had to be of the same religion. If you are talking about the political problems in Ireland, that was not really a conflict between protestants and Catholics so much as a conflict between native Irish (who all happened to be Catholic) and the invading and conquering English (who all happened to be protestant.)
There's no such thing. It's Brits versus Irish. Irish mostly Catholic, Brits mostly Protestant, although many, many, many Protestants consider themselves Irish.
