He signed a treaty which created Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, then known as the Free State. Some were happy with that and others were not because they wanted all of Ireland to be independent of British rule. This led to the Irish Civil War and also to the creation of the two main modern day political parties in Ireland, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. Fine Gael can trace its roots back to Michael Collins. He was killed during the civil war.
