Story of northern Ireland in brief?
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The first IRA ceasefire came into effect in 1994, was revoked in 1996, and reinstate din 1997, the second ceasefire.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.

What happened with the six countries of Northern Ireland when the Republic of Ireland was formed?
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.
