When did Northern Ireland apart of Britain?

Answer 1

In the 12th century Normans landed in southeastern Ireland. Over the centuries the British conquered the whole island. In 1801 Ireland and Britain were united as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Around 1920, the Irish War of Independence was fought. At the end in 1922, the British agreed to most of the island of Ireland becoming independent again However, they kept six counties in the northeast. Those six counties became known as 'Northern Ireland' and are still part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Answer 2

Prior to 1922, all of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. Then a treaty was signed partitioning Ireland and creating what is now known as Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland stayed part of the United Kingdom and the rest of Ireland became independent.

Answer 3

People from Scotland settled in the north east part of Ireland 400 years ago. Ireland became part of the UK when a parliament that only protestants could join passed the act of union. only 10% of the population were protestant in Ireland.

Ireland fought for its Independence, which was granted but with one condition. that 6 counties in the north east of the island stay with the UK. So the country was split in two. Creating Southern Ireland and Northern Ireland, southern Ireland was to be a self governing territory of Britain with its King, Gerorge. But southern Ireland never took off, its rulers quickly declared it a republic. Meanwhile in Ni, these 6 counties were not 100% British and protestant, they were 45% Irish catholic. So the two groups started fighting and killing each other. Irish wanted the six counties (northern Ireland) to leave the UK and join the rest of the island as a republic, separate from the UK. But the British wanted it to stay with the UK.

there is peace now, with a shared government, no one party is allowed to have an overall rule. but people still regard themselves as British or Irish. most Irish people in Ni have Irish passports, even though they were born in a part of the UK which would make them British. but you can choose your nationality in Ni, a unique situation in the world.

it came into being in 1922.

simple solution, Ireland shouldn't have been taken over.

Answer 4

Northern Ireland didn't break away from Ireland.

The first English/British attempts to invade Ireland go back to the 12th century. After repeated invasions and wars the British had, by the 17th century, gained control of all of Ireland. They moved settlers into northern Ireland because that was where most resistance to British rule was to be found. The Irish revolted many times against British rule but it wasn't until the 1916 Rising and the subsequent War Of Independence that Irish freedom became a distinct possibility. However, despite the overwhelming majority of Irish people wanting complete independence (as evidenced in the 1918 general election) the British were reluctant to leave. In northern Ireland the descendants of the British settlers were loyal to the British and this provided an excuse to the British government to divide the country in two: The Republic Of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It was also convenient that the largest ship building yard in the world was in northern Ireland and the British were keen to hold on to this to rebuild their shipping fleet after World War 1.

The majority of the people of Ireland want a united Ireland by peaceful means. Demographics in Northern Ireland are changing and by 2050 it is expected that the pro-British majority in Northern Ireland will become a minority and will no longer be able to stand in the way of Irish unification. As per the Good Friday agreement of 1997 the British have agreed that if Northern Ireland votes for unification with the Republic then they will withdraw from Northern Ireland. So, it is possible that over the next 50 years that Ireland will once again be united.

Answer 5

There are a number of ways of looking at that. Technically, Northern Ireland has only existed since 1922, and Britain has been involved since then. Going further back, British involvement in Ireland can be traced back to 1169, so it could be said to have started then. There have also been many other significant times, like the beginning of the Ulster plantation in 1606.
