∙ 10y ago
It has a long and complex history, but in simple terms, many people in Northern Ireland want to be part of the United Kingdom and many people in Northern Ireland want to be part of a united Ireland. This has led to many problems, from simple disputes right up to terrorism. Things are considerably calmer there now, compared to the height of the troubles in the 1970s and 1980s.

The troubles were almost exclusively confined to Northern Ireland, so it didn't really need to spread to the Republic of Ireland as such.

Once the peace process was established there, things improved. The Irish and British governments were part of the peace process insofar as they helped the parties in Northern Ireland to work together and gave them support in many other ways.
