The troubles¹
Beginning of the 19th century:
-Irish parliament was dissolved -> North Ireland was a part of Great Britain - the Irishmen ( the most were catholic) wanted to establish Ireland as a independent state -> Britain emigrated some protestant British in Ireland and they domineered over the Irishmen-> a lot of problems
Middle of the 19th century:
-Ireland experienced a big economic crisis and a lot of famines. More than 2 million people died or left the land because the British changed fruitful farmland in grassland and exported meat and animals
-Many British colonized in North-Ireland because of the high developed industry ->Ireland tried to become independent only the region Ulster in the north wanted to abide with Britain.
20th of the in 20th century:
-after the war of independence and after much hearings the republic Ireland was called, only the province Ulster remained with Britain. Following years: there were many tries to dissolve blockades. The reason for the conflict who is working/works in the last 30 years, trace break to the year 1969: 70 pacific catholic demonstrates marched from Belfast to Londonderry and was attacked by protestants and the police supported the attackers. The conflict escalated, many inculpable people died by assaults of the I.R.A(Irish Republican Army) and by the influence of the British police.
The situation today
1998: with the Good Friday Agreement they achieved a consensus for both sides.
The ceasefire (“Waffenstillstand”) changed North-Ireland. Now it’s a save holiday destination, but the peace is very fragile and sometimes there are some excesses between the catholic nationalists and protestant unionists.
