Britain's policy in dividing Ireland, which culminated in the partition of 1921, achieved its immediate goal of creating a separate Northern Ireland with a Protestant majority, thereby reducing the likelihood of nationalist uprisings in that region. However, it ultimately led to decades of conflict, known as "The Troubles," between nationalist and unionist communities. The division entrenched sectarian divisions and did not resolve underlying issues of identity and governance. Thus, while it may have been seen as a short-term success, the long-term consequences were deeply problematic and contentious.
