The Brits are Protestant and the Irish are Catholic. The British formed the Anglican Church of England and especially when Cromwell invaded Ireland and attempted a genocide of the Catholic Irish, these religious differences caused problems that have lasted between the two. The British took all of the land of the Catholics in Ireland and gave it to Protestants, which you can still see today (its called Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK).
The irish were mostly catholic and the british mostly protestant, so there were disagreements, but mostly the wars were over independance, not religion, that just fanned the flames
britan thought ierland was bad
Ireland's enemies were mainly the British. For many centuries, the British considered Ireland as part of their country. You could also say that Ireland considers itself its own enemy, considering the heated divide between Catholic and Protestant religions there.
It was not over religion, do research.
There is no conflict between the north and the republic. Basically Ireland was under british rule and events in the years after the 1916 rising led to The British 'giving back' Ireland, ie creating a republic. Although, 6 counties in Ulster (out of 9) were kept under british rule, and are now Northern Ireland. Within northern Ireland there are nationalists, those who want the north to join the republic, and unionists, those who want to remain under british rule. Therefore the conflict is generally confined within the north..
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.
Humpty Dumpty represents the British colonies. The "great fall" would be the disagreements between the colonies and the British. The British army, or "all the king's men" failed to win the American Revolution, and so "couldn't put Humpty together again." - Ratty
Difficulties facing the British in governing Ireland between 1912-1921?
no, just resentment
It is as a result of an agreement between the British and Irish governments, as it involves waterways in the Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

The only international land border in the British Isles is on the island of Ireland, between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. Arguably there is a second international border between the UK and France in the middle of the Channel Tunnel.

A passport is not needed to travel between the UK and Ireland.
That's called the Irish Sea.
Ireland is located just west of the British mainland with just the Isle Of Man in between them. See the map at the link below.
Ireland and Scotland have had no particular battle between them. Both have been involved in other battles, but not against each other. Some Scottish soldiers may have been on the British side in various battles with Ireland, but those were not specifically between Ireland and Scotland.
