Ireland was under British rule up to 1922. Northern Ireland was created at that time, and it is still under British Rule, while what is now called the Republic of Ireland is independent.

There were four Home Rule bills drafted from 1886 to 1920, the latter being named the Government of Ireland Act. The GoA established two Home Rule entities, one being Northern Ireland and the rest of Ireland. The rest of Ireland did not accept this as since the Easter Rising of 1916 it became clear that Sinn Fein and others' interest in Home Rule had faded and they were now seeking complete partition from the Britain.
