Southern Ireland gained independence from Britain in 1921 after the Anglo-Irish treaty was signed, and became known as 'Free State' Ireland. However Nothern Ireland (Ulster), still remains under British control in present day. This lead to an Irish civil war in 1922 between those who were happy with just Southern Ireland being independent from Britain and those who wanted Southern and Nothern Ireland to be reunited as a fully independent Republic.

Why did the british not want to give Ireland complete independence in 1916?

The British were reluctant to grant Ireland complete independence in 1916 due to a combination of political, economic, and strategic reasons. They feared that losing control over Ireland would embolden other nationalist movements within the British Empire and destabilize their rule. Additionally, Ireland's strategic location and economic contributions, particularly during World War I, made the British hesitant to relinquish their hold. The 1916 Easter Rising further complicated matters, as it intensified British resolve to maintain order and control in Ireland.
