Why were Irish upset by their merger with Britain into the United Kingdom?

∙ 11y ago
Irish Nationalists were angry at England because the English invaded their country, confiscated their land and planted it with English and Scottish settlers, prohibited Catholics from owning land or participating in their own government or commerce, outlawed the Irish language, and did their best to erase Irish culture.

Much of the above is true, there was also the Irish famine. However the above answer is also a bit one sided, the treatment of the Irish was not really any different from the treatment of the lower classes in England and Scotland (and indeed the treatment meted out by other countries to their citizens) over the centuries. It was more a class war than a war against the English people themselves. Remember Ireland was annexed by Henry II in 1467.

England had not helped Ireland enough during the potato famine.
