What year was Ireland born?

Answer 1

Countries are not born, but are created. The Republic of Ireland as it is known now first arose during the Easter Rising of 1916. Though the British surpessed this initial movement, it brought Irish Republicanism to the forefront of the social thought. It culminated in Sinn Fien taking a majority of seats and declaring independence in 1918. At this instance the Irish War of Independence then began and lasted until 1921, though fighting continued in Northern Ireland until 1922, and even now there is still instability in Northern Ireland. The Anglo-Irish Treaty signed in 1921 created the Irish Free State. It remained as a Dominion of Great Britain until 1937, when the 1921 Constitution was replaced and Ireland gained full and free independence and its own Sovereign Capacity.
