As i understand it, Ulster is a small part of Northern Ireland that still belongs to the British, the rest of Ireland is self ruled. The problems with the IRA is because they want the whole of Ireland back. I think also that Ulster is primarily prostestant whereas the rest of Ireland is catholic. Hence when in Ireland if asked if your catholic or protestant it shows whether u are basically english or true irish. Great question, I hope I hvnt offended anyone with my ignorance and looking forward to other posts.

there is basically one province noted as Ulster. that is one in all 4 provinces of eire (the others being Munster, Leinster and Connaught) and it has 9 counties. Six of those 9 counties are element of the united kingdom, and the different 3 are element of the Republic of eire. The island became divided in 2 in 1921 to furnish independence to maximum persons of Irishmen who needed independence, yet note of the purposes a minority of folk, targeted in the six counties, to stay element of the united kingdom. maximum persons in Ulster at the moment were descended from Protestant Scots and Englishmen who got here visiting to settle from the 17th century. Ulster were very proof against British rule so more desirable settlers were despatched over to swamp the rebellious interior sight inhabitants. genuinely a minimum of two of the six Ulster counties - Fermanagh and Tyrone - were rather nationalist in 1921 (had to affix an self sufficient eire) yet 4 counties might want to were too small for the statelet to be plausible. From 1922 till 1972 NI had its own parliament, yet this became abolished after it lost administration of the protection project, as republicans (violent nationalists) resumed their armed war initially adversarial to the police and later adversarial to the British military who were despatched the quell the problem. those days the time period 'Ulster' is very regularly used to describe the province through the Unionists who want to stay element of the united kingdom.
