Religious conflict in Northern Ireland, primarily between Protestant unionists and Catholic nationalists, began in the late 1960s, although its roots trace back to centuries of political and sectarian tensions. The Civil Rights Movement in Northern Ireland sought to address discrimination against Catholics, which escalated into violent confrontations and the outbreak of the Troubles in 1969. This period of conflict lasted for several decades, resulting in significant loss of life and deep societal divisions. The Good Friday Agreement in 1998 marked a significant step towards peace, though tensions still persist.
The 'modern day Troubles' started in 1969 (things had been 'unsettled' for some time).
The country splitted when the troubles started in Northern Ireland.

Seperation of schools is caused by the intrangience of the Catholic Schools to amalgamate with the state schools. State Schools are open to all but usually attended by Protestants. A limited non denominational schools programme has started but is poorly supported by local politicians and religious leaders as it challenges their political support base. This separates children at 5 years of age into Catholic and Protestants and sets this format throughout their education and is probably one of the biggest factors causing "trouble" in Northern Ireland
The celtics started to do HALLOWEEN after Ireland....they celebrated the night of ghost and goblins!

In the 12th century Normans landed in southeastern Ireland. Over the centuries the British conquered the whole island. In 1801 Ireland and Britain were united as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Around 1920, the Irish War of Independence was fought. At the end in 1922, the British agreed to most of the island of Ireland becoming independent again However, they kept six counties in the northeast. Those six counties became known as 'Northern Ireland' and are still part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Their ultimate aim is a 36 county Ireland, and they seek to achieve this by disrupting the ongoing peace process in Northern Ireland, and continuing a terrorist campaign started in the 1970s by the Provisional IRA during the Troubles.
