What part of spain invaded ireland?

Answer 1

Hmm - - - wondering what textbook you are reading. As a nation Spain has never attacked Ireland. Nor has a part of Spain attacked Ireland. A large Ocean seperates the two regions and so any attack would have to be launched by ship until the 20th Century when airplanes became available.

There were Spanish sailors from the not so invincible Armada of the 1580s who straggled ashore after their ships sank but they were the one's invaded and often killed (b^ggering ship wrecked sailors has an honorable role in Irish folk lore)...

That said I would reread the history assignment carefully..

Answer 2

Celts from the Iberia peninsula migrated to and settled in Ireland in prehistoric (i. e. before written records) times. This event may be preserved in Irish tradition as an invasion. Other than that, as another answerer has said, the next time Spaniards arrived in Ireland, they were the remnants of the Spanish Armada (1588), which Sir Francis Drake et al. trounced so soundly that they tried to sail home from the southern coast of England by going up around Scotland. Some of the ships were wrecked on the coast of Ireland, and the descendants of those sailors are said to be there to this day. Hardly an invasion.
