Why did Northern Ireland opt out of the Irish free state?
Like everything about Ireland is very complicated I can think of three reasons: Religion: the people of Northern Ireland were predominately Protestant while the rest of Ireland was Catholic. There were fears of the Irish government taking its instructions from the Vatican Politics: The Unionist Party in North Ireland was closely linked to the British Conservative Party which was opposed to Irish Home Rule. Ethnic: The Northern Irish people were predominately of Scottish and English origin. They feared being ruled by the Irish. There had already been instances of Anglo-Irish property in the south being set on fire.

WHAT YEAR DID IRELAND SPLIT INTO TWO PARTS?
Northern Ireland was created as a distinct division of the United Kingdom on 3 May 1921 under the Government of Ireland Act 1920. However it wasn't recognised as being officially separate from the rest of Ireland until the signing of the Anglo Irish Treaty on 6 December 1921, which set up what people refer to as Partition. This came into effect one year later on 6th Dec 1922 and Northern Ireland opted out of joining the Irish Free State as the rest of Ireland was then known. The Irish Free State became referred to as Eire as a result of the Constitution of Ireland in 1937 and fully became a Republic on 18 April 1949 .

Irish citizens from Eire are still allowed to vote in British elections if resident in the UK.]
