What best describe the primary reason for conflict in Northern Ireland?
ReligionReligion.
Did the northern Ireland religious conflict be fought in the northern irelands?
Yes of course most of the fighting was in Northern Ireland with about only 9%(guess) in Ireland. The reason was religious and political sort of a clash.
What was the primary reason for the conflict in Northern Ireland?
The conflict is primarily between the religious factions, Catholic and Protestant. Since it remained part of the UK, Northern Ireland has a history of Protestant domination in government and the economy. This friction has been expressed several times in violence and terrorism on both sides. The Nationalists continue to seek a union of the six Northern Ireland counties with larger Ireland, which is Catholic.

What country is Southern Ireland com?
Southern Ireland is an incorrect term for what is the Republic of Ireland, officially known as Ireland or Éire in the Irish language. Northern Ireland does exist, and for this reason people often use the term Southern Ireland. Northern Ireland consists of 6 counties that are in the north-east of Ireland. In fact, the most northerly point on the island of Ireland is not in Northern Ireland. It is Malin Head, which is in county Donegal, which is one of the 26 counties in the Republic of Ireland. See the map below in the related links, which shows all the counties of Ireland, with the 6 from Northern Ireland enclosed by the red line.
Reason Northern Ireland and Ireland have not united?
If Northern Ireland and the Republic tried to unite, the Unionists in the North would never agree and it would just lead to more fighting. It's best to leave things as they are because now there is peace and the Troubles are over.
What is the reason for the division of the population of Northern Ireland?
Religion if you are educated. Bigot and brain dead,football hooligans and terrorists if you're not.
What was the main reason why the Irish people came to England?
Ireland - Jobs. Ireland had barely any jobs, and so many people moved to England to find work. Northern Ireland - Jobs and Terrorism. Again, hardly any jobs, but Northern Ireland has also been a warzone for many years and so many peoplefled for their lives.
. What was the main reason the people of southern Ireland desired independence from Great Britain?
Southern Ireland has a Catholic majority, while Great Britain had a Protestant majority. This is also the historic reason that the six counties of Northern Ireland did not become part of the Irish republic, because they have a large Protestant population.
Why does Ireland not have independence day?
Many countries do not have an independence Day. Ireland's national holiday is St. Patrick's Day. One reason there is not an independence day is that some would say Ireland is not totally independent, as Northern Ireland is still part of the United Kingdom.
Why did ulster remain a part of great Britain in 1921?
Ulster is not united with Britain. You are making two common misconceptions here. First you are confusing Ulster and Northern Ireland. Ulster is an Irish province with 9 counties. 6 of those counties make up Northern Ireland, but the other 3 are not part of Northern Ireland. So Ulster and Northern Ireland are not the same thing. Second, you are confusing Britain with the United Kingdom. Britain is an island that has England, Scotland and Wales on it. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland, a separate island, so it is not part of Britain. The United Kingdom consists of the three parts of Britain and also Northern Ireland. So Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but not part of Britain. As to why Northern Ireland should stay part of the United Kingdom, which is what you intended by your question, it is a very complicated issue, with strong opinions on it, so strong that it has led to violence, as you may know. For now, under the principle of consent that was agreed by the political parties and people of Northern Ireland, as long as the majority of the people in Northern Ireland want it to stay part of the United Kingdom, it will continue to do so. So that is the reason.
Why do Ireland not have two rugby teams?
Ireland has many rugby teams. However, what you are probably referring to is why there is not a Republic of Ireland and a Northern Ireland team. The reason is that, like many sports in Ireland, rugby is played on an all-Ireland basis and there one organisation that looks after it, the Irish Rugby Football Union, and so there is one international team.
