Angered that the ruling Irish party, the Fitzgerald dynasty of Kildare, had crowned a pretender to the Irish throne and went in open rebellion against the crown, Henry VIII decided to conquer Ireland in 1536 and bring it under his control. Starting in 1541, he upgraded Ireland to a Kingdom and proclaimed himself King of Ireland at a meeting of the Irish Parliament.

The first conquest came in the year 1169. There have been various milestones of Irish history since then when it can be said they conquered Ireland, too many to list. Various stages have occurred and there were also many revolutions against British rule in Ireland, so balance has shifted at those points.

The Normans invaded Ireland in 1169 and the last major war against the English ended in 1603. The conquest was a gradual process in between these two dates.

Irish is not spoken everywhere because in the 1800 many English moved over to conquer Ireland and so the language died out in most parts. Mary Queen of Scots had a lot to do with it too OR... it could be the fact that northern Ireland is an English speaking country and you can still find people in Dublin speaking Irish and road signs in southern Ireland are mostly in English but you can find lots in Irish too!
