Well, 26 of the 32 counties got freedom from the Brits in War of Independence, 1921.
The rest is British still.
Geographically, Ireland and Great Britain are separate islands, and been separate for at least 16,000 years. In political terms, Ireland became independent from Britain in 1922.

Ireland gained it's independence from England
Gain independence from England
Ireland (or rather, the Republic of Ireland) gained independence in stages between 1922 and 1949. (Twentieth century).
No country won its independence from Great Britain in 1996. The United Kingdom is an independent country which includes England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Ireland had been conquered by England in a series of wars from 1536-1607. It freed itself from English rule in 1921, following the Irish War of Independence, and became the Irish Free State. In 1937, Ireland left the British Commonwealth and became the Republic of Ireland.

Yes, in 1922
While England was concentrating on World War I, Ireland could take advantage and have a revolution and try to progress Irish independence.

Northern Ireland inhabitants for independence
To first give a bit of background: In 1801 what was called the United Kingdom was formed. It consisted of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Ireland wanted independence and in 1921 a treaty was signed, where 26 of Ireland's 32 counties became independent and are now known as the Republic of Ireland. The other 6 counties formed Northern Ireland, which is still part of the United Kingdom. So some would say not all of Ireland is free. It is also true to say that as England is only one part of the United Kingdom, so it doesn't own the other 3 parts.
no, independence increased the conflict in Northern Ireland
England has boundaries with Wales and Scotland, both of which have limited independence. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland consists of these three countries with Northern Ireland.
You just answered your own question. Also, the US never gained independence from 'England', but the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (as Ireland was part of the union at the time.) Do not confuse Great Britain with 'England' as it's just one of four parts of the UK, and the term offends the Welsh, Scots and Northern Irish. Also, when the US gained independence, only the 13 states of the Eastern Seaboard gained Independence, as they were the only states controlled by Britain.
England forciblt entered Ireland 500 yrs before that. They had been fighting for independence all of that time and still do in the north. They weren't going to enter a Union willingly. They were fighting being forced into that union.
No. Ireland is west of England.
