What is the source of conflict between Ireland and Northern Ireland?

Answer 1

There is no conflict between the north and the republic. Basically Ireland was under british rule and events in the years after the 1916 rising led to The British 'giving back' Ireland, ie creating a republic. Although, 6 counties in Ulster (out of 9) were kept under british rule, and are now Northern Ireland. Within northern Ireland there are nationalists, those who want the north to join the republic, and unionists, those who want to remain under british rule. Therefore the conflict is generally confined within the north..

Answer 2

issues with religion and whether or not to become independent from Britain (the protestants wanted to stay with Britain, the Catholics wanted to separate) there were domestic terrorist attacks between the 2 groups (i think they began fixing their situation in 2005 BUT LOOK IT UP BECAUSE I MAY BE WRONG ON THAT BIT!!!)

Answer 3

Northern Ireland has a history of conflict between unionists, who wanted to remain a part of United Kingdom, and republicans, who wanted all of Ireland to be free of British rule. The 1960s through the 1990s were a period of violence between the two groups, and some tensions still persist.

Answer 4

There is no current conflict between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. This is a common misconception. The so-called "troubles" were predominantly within Northern Ireland and there is currently relative peace there, as has been the case for many years now.

Answer 5

There is no fighting between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The struggle or 'troubles' had always been confined to Northern Ireland.

In Northern Ireland there has been Republicans who do not believe Britain has the right to own Northern Ireland so they fought against English rule. There are also Loyalists in Northern Ireland who believe the country belongs to Britain and should never be reunited with the rest of Ireland.

In the past these two groups of Repulbicans and Loyalists would clash over the differences which would result in conflicts such as rioting on the streets.
