History of Ireland

Ireland is one country. On the island of Ireland, you have the Republic of Ireland as one country and Northern Ireland as another. If you mean counties, there are 32 counties in Ireland. See the related question below.

There is no brief history to Northern Ireland, really, but I'll try.

Ireland was ruled by Britain for a few hundred years, after a couple of failed rebellions, most notably the 1798 rebellion led by Wolfe Tone, another one was organised for Easter of 1916.

This one went well enough, as far as rebellions go, and the war of independence began. Michel Colins and Eamon De Valera were two leading men in this. In January 1922 a treaty was written up and it gave twenty six counties of Ireland independence, but left six of them in the North a part of England.

A lot of the IRA ( The Old IRA, not the new one) opposed this, and wanted to keep the fighting the British, and the civil war started. This lasted over a year, but proved in-effective for the most part as the North still belonged to the British.

Over the years, people have kept fighting, and the Provisonal IRA have continued to fight the British rule. The height of this was known as the Troubles, and took place from the seventies, eighties, and in the nineties.

In 1981, hunger strikes were held (Bobby Sands for one) most of which took place in the Maze prison.

Sinn Fein was formed soon after.

The first IRA ceasefire came into effect in 1994, was revoked in 1996, and reinstate din 1997, the second ceasefire. The final one came into place in 1998 after the Omagh bombing.

The Belfast Agreement restored parliement to NI, but on the basis of power sharing.

The IRA was completely decommissioned in Spetember 2005, although there is feuds, fights and violence between Cathloics and Protestants, Unionists and Nationalists.. There's also big, big issues about the Orange men's parades.

That's a very brief history. To know and understand it all, you really have to read about the full thing. Hope I helped.

Northern Ireland has never been part of Great Britain. Great Britain is an island consisting of Wales, England and Scotland. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland which is a completely separate island. Northern Ireland, along with England, Scotland and Wales, are together known as the United Kingdom, which is probably what you are referring to. So Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but not part of Great Britain.

Northern Ireland has never been part of Great Britain. Great Britain is the island with England, Wales and Scotland on it. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland. They are two separate island that have never been part of each other. What you are referring to is the United Kingdom, which is England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. A majority of people in the northern part of Ireland did not want to exit the United Kingdom in 1922. So there was a partition of the island creating what we now know as Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland stayed within the United Kingdom.

Northern Ireland was formed at the same time as what is now known as the Republic of Ireland. Initially it was the Irish Free State. Prior to this, Ireland was a single entity. In 1922 they became separate. The Republic of Ireland didn't officially become a republic until 1948. That had no impact on Northern Ireland, as it was already in existence by then.

The title "Republic of Ireland" came about in 1949.

Celts

While only spoken fluently by a minority, it is the national language. It is part of Irish culture and has large influences in Irish society, such as in placenames, official titles for some organisations or titles for some jobs. "Taoiseach", which is an old Irish word for a chieftain or leader, is used as the official title for a head of an Irish government. It is one of many Irish words that are used in everyday conversation by English speakers. No one in Ireland would refer to the prime minister, when talking about the head of an Irish government. "Prime Minister" would always be immediately seen as a reference to the head of a British government. Music and poetry are also heavily influenced by the Irish language.

It influences placenames in that many of the English names are either direct translations or mispronunciations of the Irish names. Both names are shown on signposts and street name plates. Sometimes the Irish and English names have no connection. Dublin comes from Dubh Linn, meaning Black Pool. However the Irish name used for Dublin is Baile Átha Cliath, which means the Crossing at the Hurdle Ford. The two names refer to two separate places, over 1000 years ago, both of which now are in modern Dublin.

The Irish language is part of the Irish people's identity. Most people know at least a little Irish. It is some that sets Irish people apart from others, in the same way that any native language does. As it is not an internationally known language, that makes it more special an unique. Irish people have been known to use it in order to keep a conversation private while in other countries, or do things like give a warning to someone without other people knowing.

Wales is directly east then England, Scotland or United Kingdom

Officially since the 18th of April 1849, so as of May 2015, that is 66 years.

There are 32 counties in Ireland. There are 4 provinces. One of those provinces is Ulster, which has 9 counties. 6 of those counties make up Northern Ireland. Those 6 counties are Fermanagh, Antrim, Tyrone, Down, Armagh and Derry. The other 3 Ulster counties are Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan.

Northern Ireland only came into existence in 1922. A major factor in its origins that could be traced back to the 17th century was the Plantation of Ulster. This is when many people from Britain were given land in the north of Ireland, and they settled there. This established a strong Protestant population and a loyalty to Britain, which are part of what led to trouble and the creation of Northern Ireland and trouble since then.

Are you serious?

Ulster was a Unionist area while the South was a predominantly nationalist area.

The war of independence caused the British government to give into the Irish people's want for self determination.

The Unionist wouldn't stand for Ulster being separated from Britain, so Ireland was split into 2 different states, under the same King.

The Free State (The South) became a colony similar to Canada after that, that is until it left the commonwealth, with the drafting of the 1936 constitution.

While the North remained a part of Britain.

Well this question is still under much debate seeing that many Irish men and women don't consider their country was ever conquered. Also the British never gained total control of Ireland only it's northern half.

England conquered Ireland under the Normans in the 1100s before the creation of the union of Britain in 1707, ever since then there had been rebellions in Ireland up until the Irish war of independence

Irish Stew, potato based foods, Corned Beef with Cabbage ( not hugely traditional) , Bacon and Cabbage, Ulster Fry.

In the 2001 National Census about 46% of the population said that they belonged to the protestant faith.

With a population of about 1.5 million at that time that equates to 700,000 people.

12 MEPs represent the Republic of Ireland. 3 MEPs represent Northern Ireland. See the related question below.
