Northen Ireland was formed after the Irish war of independance 1919-1921

The treaty that ended the war and freed southern Ireland was signed on 11 of July 1921 although due to the withdrawl of British troops and basically the handing over of the country Southern Ireland wasn't officially separate until January 1922

Northern Ireland stayed part of the United Kingdom because it had a high population of Unionists this was because of English plantations in the past. The Ulster plantation was the only successful one, as a result northern Ireland was the most British part of Ireland.

Northern Ireland Was never really a separate country it was about equal in independance as Scotland or Wales

The Republic of Ireland as it is known now first arose during the Easter Rising of 1916. Though the British surpessed this initial movement, it brought Irish Republicanism to the forefront of the social thought. It culminated in Sinn Fien taking a majority of seats and declaring independence in 1918. At this instance the Irish War of Independence then began and lasted until 1921, though fighting continued in Northern Ireland until 1922, and even now there is still instability in Northern Ireland. The Anglo-Irish Treaty signed in 1921 created the Irish Free State. It remained as a Dominion of Great Britain until 1937, when the 1921 Constitution was replaced and Ireland gained full and free independence and its own Sovereign Capacity

Why did the troubles in Northern Ireland start?

Most Protestants want to remain WITH Britain and not become part of a united Ireland. Irish nationalists want to unite the country - hence the troubles. The division of Ireland into the overwhelmingly Roman Catholic republic and the north, which remained part of the renamed the 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland', dates from 1921. In that year Ireland was divided, following a vicious civil war. The most recent 'troubles' have been ongoing since 1969 (with breaks). Joncey
