Southern Ireland gained independence from Britain in 1921 after the Anglo-Irish treaty was signed, and became known as 'Free State' Ireland. However Nothern Ireland (Ulster), still remains under British control in present day. This lead to an Irish civil war in 1922 between those who were happy with just Southern Ireland being independent from Britain and those who wanted Southern and Nothern Ireland to be reunited as a fully independent Republic.
