Why did ulster remain a part of great Britain in 1921?
Ulster is not united with Britain. You are making two common misconceptions here. First you are confusing Ulster and Northern Ireland. Ulster is an Irish province with 9 counties. 6 of those counties make up Northern Ireland, but the other 3 are not part of Northern Ireland. So Ulster and Northern Ireland are not the same thing. Second, you are confusing Britain with the United Kingdom. Britain is an island that has England, Scotland and Wales on it. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland, a separate island, so it is not part of Britain. The United Kingdom consists of the three parts of Britain and also Northern Ireland. So Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but not part of Britain. As to why Northern Ireland should stay part of the United Kingdom, which is what you intended by your question, it is a very complicated issue, with strong opinions on it, so strong that it has led to violence, as you may know. For now, under the principle of consent that was agreed by the political parties and people of Northern Ireland, as long as the majority of the people in Northern Ireland want it to stay part of the United Kingdom, it will continue to do so. So that is the reason.
