Did the Queen of England steal northern Ireland?? Why?? How??

Question

Does the Irish Republican Army fight aaginst this???

Answer 1

On a personal level, no. The whole of Ireland was under British rule from around 1155, when Henry II took over. The southern counties left the UK in 1922 and became a Republic in 1949. The 6 counties that compose Northern Ireland remained under British rule.

The IRA (and related groups) believe that Northern Ireland should have been included in the Irish Free State when it was separated in 1922.

Answer 2

I have always wondered why HM the Queen (of the UK) carries a handbag; perhaps you are right that she's stolen Northern Ireland and is carrying it around with her. Personally, I should have thought that carrying half a bottle of gin and a pistol would be more useful in an emergency, but these royals are well known to be eccentric.
Why don't you read a history book instead of asking such questions?

Answer 3

Henry II stole all of Ireland in the 1100's with the aid and abettance of the Pope. The Queen's grandfather, George V, generously gave back the southern part of the Emerald Isle in 1922. The Queen keeps the northern part of the island for those of her subjects who are the descendants of the Protestants that Cromwell moved to Ireland back in the 1600's.

Answer 4

Whoa, read a history book. Start with the early invasions of Ireland from the Middle Ages and take it upto present day ceasefire, that will tell you about the creation of Northern Ireland and the various resistance movements over the years..

Do a bit of Wikiing here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland

Out of interest, where are you from?

Answer 5

No. England ruled Ireland for hundreds of years. After WWI ireland was allowed to vote by county whether to stay or leave. Northern Ireland is composed of the counties that voted to remain with England while the rest of the counties voted to form the independent country of Ireland. The IRA fights for the reunification of Ireland completely outside of English rule (even though those counties chose to remain)

Answer 6

well most of the ira groups i think are scumbags but i support p.i.r.a its terrible the way groups like r.i.r.a kill more irish then british but then again some british are neutrel so are some irish it is bad the way people who just want peace can be killed in the cross fire but im irish i live in Dublin and english people are not thought in their schools about what the royle family did to scotlanfd ireland australia and france and usa and many other countries in ireland alone they cause the famine which cause the death of 4 million people in ireland alone. when ever an english or welsh person comes to ireland they first love their countrie and the queen and everything but when they go to a museam they are then told about the bad history between ireland and england how the royle family caused 800 years of disscrimination and torture ireland was its own nation but it was divided by different celtic clans i cant remember but 1 celtic clan chief went to england to ask the king for help to eliminate his rivil clans so he could rule ireland but secretly the king had plans to invade ireland it was the perfect disquise then the english betrayed the celtic chieften and took over ireland there is a lot of history but the english treated irish people very badly and the potatoe crop made irelands population boom to 9 million then the english caused the potatoe blight with cause the potatoes to roat and 3 million people died and 4 million left the country to america or england and while the famine was on the british kept taking food from ireland still.
in 1916 an unexpected rebelion of about 3000 rebels i think it was called the irish republican brotherhood they stormed key buildings such as the genrel post office and took the union jack flag from it lit it on fire and through it of the roof and raised a tri colour flag which is green white and orange the green represents the catholics and the orange is the protestents and the white is the hope of peace between them. then they read out the proclaimation of independence and declered ireland a free state the (freedom state) their where 6 leaders where Thomas J. Clarke,
Sean Mac Diarmada, Thomas MacDonagh,
P. H. Pearse, Eamonn Ceannt,
James Connolly, Joseph Plunkett the germans gave them weapons for free and we only knew there was a war in europe we never knew who was involved or what it was over it was world war 1 we thought germany where are allias we cheered as the germans bombed londen and kept giving us free weapons but we never knew they where using us to defeat briton or that they where trying to take over europe but an english genrel was assighnt by the king as he was to busy with world war 1 the genrel exicuted the 6 leaders after they blind filded them the leaders where well educated thats why it was a organized militery rebelion but when the leaders where exicute they also killed many rebels all the irish people wanted was peace and to be treated fairly and not be disgriminated but then the genrel recieved a letter from the king the king said to stop killing so many irish nationalists because it was only 3000 people the other 2 million people in the country where againest the war they where all againest it so when he came acroos eamon develera and michael collins he let them live he thought they would not cause any trouble in the future but the irish people where angry at the brits eamon devolera and michael collins satged the sinn fein armed rebellion the whole country stood up in the name of freedom and fought for their rights and stood up for themselves well it was reallly just in Dublin and Cork where their was fighting there was an english women was a unionist and british she found out about the history of ireland and joined michael collins and fought the british she was a protestent and her whole family where british i cant remember her name though but she was very importent in the rebellion in the end michael collins was in vited by the king and signed a treaty for the british to keep 6 countys in the north and ended the war. then a civil war began eamon devolera wanted to continue the fight for the north and michael collins sighed the treaty because at the time 90% of the people in the north where unionists now day 60% are nationalists michael collins died in cork in battle and eamon devolera soon changed sides he was wrong he said even if we did take the north everyone would be a unionist

so ireland is now its own state and the group i support the p.i.r.a are on ceasefire and work with sinn fein as they believe the north can be part of the republic at this time without an armed struggle now sinn fein try to get the north back peacefully the reason british people dont know any of this is because they are not thought this in school they think irish people are scumbags when they have the story all
wrong in ireland we are thought about the french revoloution the 1916 easter rising and the american revoloution in british schools i dont think they are thought anything about the age of revoloutions but that is because a lot of it is about the royle family who are the most blood thorsty people in the history of mankind
