Has Ireland been in any conflicts?

Through much of its history, Ireland has been involved in conflicts with the British in order to get their independence. Ireland has also had invasions from the vikings. Ireland is a neutral country, so it is not involved in any conflicts now and was not involved in World War II. It was not directly involved in World War I, but it was under British rule at that time, and the British were involved. In both World Wars many Irish men joined the British Army and fought in the wars, many losing their lives. As a neutral nation Ireland is not in any military alliances, such as NATO, and it has a strong record in peacekeeping activities. There is an Irish army, but it is not very large. Some of its personnel go on peacekeeping duties to other parts of the world.

How many wars did Ireland support?

The Republic of Ireland has not officially been involved in any wars. However, their troops have faced combat situations during peacekeeping operations, such as the Congo Crisis. Otherwise, the Republic of Ireland has remained neutral. Irish volunteers did fight in the Boer Wars (both for the Boers and for the British), the First World War (all of Ireland was still a British territory at this time, and they served as members of the Royal Armed Forces), and the Spanish Civil War (with units composed of Irish personnel serving on both the Nationalist and Republican sides), but the only war an independent Irish government has been involved in was the Irish Civil War, during which time Ireland was independent - but not a Republic, as it is currently, but rather, a Free State of the British Commonwealth.
