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
