That is a complex question to answer in detail, as it has over 800 years of Irish history as part of it leading to the troubles that began in 1969. The argument was not really between Ireland and Northern Ireland, but between people within Northern Ireland with different views. In simple terms it was between people who wanted to be separate from the Republic of Ireland and ruled by Britain, and people who wanted to be totally independent of Britain and have a united Ireland. Some people pursued their respective cause with violence, though it has to be said that that was a minority of the people. The majority of the people, while being of one opinion or the other, pursued their cause peacefully or just had their opinions but carried on their lives as normal.

Why was there fighting between Ireland and northern Ireland?
There has not been fighting between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. There was fighting between England (Britain or the United Kingdom) and the Irish when all of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. The treaty that ended that fighting created the Republic of Ireland in the south and Northern Ireland (still part of the United Kingdom) in the north. After that, the IRA (Irish Republican Army) used violent means to try to push the British forces out of Northern Ireland and reunite the entire island. However, the Republic of Ireland did not participate in that activity and did not fight the British in Northern Ireland.
