Who started the Ulster plantation?

The roots of the Plantation stretch all the way back to 350BC when Gaels from the Iberian Peninsula first invaded Ireland. They waged a campaign of genocide against the native people, most of the survivors seeking refuge in Scotland. It was descendents of these refugees who (largely) made up the Plantation settlers. It is an interesting fact that Eoin McNeill, a leader of the Irish Republican movement during the early part of the 20th century, openly acknowledged this fact; indeed he went on to say that the Plantation should by right be called "The Homecoming".


When was protestants introduced in Ireland?

The English first arrived in 1169 (as Normans) but they were Christian, not Protestants. The Protestant Faith was established Martin Luther when he PROTESTED against the abuses in the Catholic Church. Following the English reformation under Henry VIII there was a desire to spread the Protestant faith to Ireland. This was done through a series of Plantations - Laois and Offaly were the first in 1556. However, the most successful plantation of Ireland was the 3rd Plantation - the Plantation of Ulster (1606). It is the legacy of this plantation which is largely responsible for the conflict between Ulster and the rest of Ireland, and the conflict within Ulster.

What is the Difference between industrialized agriculture and subsistence agriculture?

The difference is largely based on the farmer's decision of what to grow. If s/he is growing crops and livestock which he plans to use only to feed his family and not to sell, it's subsistence agriculture. Once he crosses the line to selling more of what he grows for (hopefully) a profit than he keeps for his family, then he is heading toward industrialized agriculture. A hallmark of industrialized ag is also the use of machinery to produce the crop.
