Why are there two sides in Northern Ireland?

That is a question that could have a long and detailed answer, relating to Irish history. Putting it briefly, before Irish independence from Britain, the majority of people in what is now known as Northern Ireland did not want to become independent while a significant minority did. Those two positions remain, so you have two sides in Northern Ireland. The unionists and loyalists want to be have a union with Britain and the nationalists and republicans want a totally united Ireland. The unionists and loyalists still form the majority of people in Northern Ireland.
