Starting in 1169, Norman forces invaded Ireland to help Diarmaid Mac Murchada (in English, Dermont Mac Murrough), the King of Leimster, who had been driven out by his enemies. However, they did not then leave, but stayed and established themselves in Leimster. Henry II then claimed Ireland as part of his kingdom. However, the whole of Ireland did not really come under full English control as such until the 17th century. For a long time, English rule was not effective except in a small region around Dublin known as the Pale. After the Nine Years' War, however, the last of the great Gaelic lords were forced to emigrate (the Flight of the Earls)allowing the British to take over Ulster, which was the final bastion of the old Irish kings. Other than during various rebellions, the British rule remained in place from the 17th century until the Irish War of Independence started in 1919. In 1922, the war came to an end with the British recognising the independence of 26 of the 32 counties of Ireland.

This long history goes back to 1169, so it is not possible to discuss it in detail here. There is some animosity between Irish and British people but there are also very strong links between the two countries. Many Irish people live in Britain and many people in Britain are of Irish ancestry. The Irish are the largest immigrant group in Britain.
