There have been a number of them, with the main being the IRA (Irish Republican Army).
James 1 (James 3rd of Scotland) wanted to gain greater control of Ireland after having taken vast tracts of land from to lords of Ireland, thus he "planted" or colonized much of what is now northern Ireland, mainly with western lowland Scots and also with English and some Germans. The planting began in, and was greatest around Ulster, but involved most of Northern Ireland
they invaded Ireland in the 13th century and eventually conquered ulster (n. Ireland), colonized it with british people, and forced the native people to become subjects to the king of England.
Fermanagh, Antrim, Tyrone, Down, Armagh and Derry are the 6 counties that form Northern Ireland.

Up until 91 years ago all of Ireland was ruled by Britain and wanted freedom from UK rule, (With the exception of Protestant groups in Northern Ireland) The south obtained freedom but Northern Ireland has not - there are still some groups in Northern Ireland that want freedom from the UK
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..
The IRA want this.
If you mean which one wanted a united Ireland, then there are several. Most notably there was the IRA. Others included the INLA. There are also a few smaller groups, many splitting from the IRA. There are also those who were against a united Ireland so could be said to be involved in keeping Northern Ireland, which consists of 6 of the 9 counties of Ulster, separate from the rest of Ireland. These would include the UDA, UVF and UFF.

IRA engaged in terrorist attacks to cause the collapse of the government of Northern Ireland. They also wanted to inflict substantial casualties on British forces that the British government would be forced by public opinion to withdraw from the region.

The troubles refer to the conflict between Republicans and Loyalists in Northern Ireland mostly between 1969 and 1998. Republicans wanted Northern Ireland to be free from Britain while Loyalists did not want that. Terrorist activities between the two sides resulted, and included some other groups such as army and police. Over 3000 people died as a result.

Ireland wanted Independence from the UK and after many years of campaigning and fighting a treaty was negotiated with the British Government and Irish envoys in 1921. It was enacted after ratification in 1922 founding the Irish Free State (later to become the Irish Republic/Eire). As part of the negotiations "Northern Ireland" (or the 6 counties in the North - predominantly Protestant out of 9 counties of Ulster) were allowed to exercise an option to withdraw from the State and remain part of the UK and did so. The Catholic minority in the North have continued to want unification with the South leading to the "Troubles" and the terrorist problems which largely (but not wholly) ended with the peace process and the Good Friday agreement.
Ireland was divided from Northern Ireland after the demanding but powerful British government wanted to gain control of Ireland but were left with the counties that they control today. This agreement was nogiatiated by Llyode George and Winston Churchill who were determind not to give Ireland the Republic they wanted deserved.
Obviously that is a massively controversial subject. The short answer is "Because the majority of people in the six counties known as Northern Ireland consider themselves as British" It was Irish (mostly Ulster) Unionists in the late 1800's who with their allies in the British Conservative party who consistantly objected to the idea of Irish home rule, the idea of a separate homeland for the Protestant Ulstermen seemed like the only compromise, and it was the only thing that nobody wanted, not the British government, not Irish nationalists and not Ulster Loyalists.
