IRISH History
>Ireland composed of Gaelic chiefs, which covert to Christianity throughout the first years of the dark ages
>Various parts of Ireland were conquered by the Normans as was England, Wales and eventually they married into Scotland.
>Pope grants lordship of the entirity of Ireland to the English king (Henry II), its own Parliament is established in the Pale in 1297 but heavily dependant on England
>Norman Yolk throne off in the war of the roses, Welsh house (Tudor) Inherits the throne.
>Becomes a full kingdom with its own independant laws, legslature and privy council in 1542.
> Scottish King Inherits all three thrones in 1601(Scotland, England [which wales is de jure a part of] and Ireland)
>Irish catholic lords attempt to overthrow Protestant rule in 1607 for personal gain; they're put down and flee to france, their lands are distributed to loyal protestants under the Plantations.
>Wars of the Three Kingoms occur, the King is forced to uphold the English consitution but refuses to and raises an Army to have complete autocratic rule, trying to use troops from Ireland and Scotland.
>England is proclaimed a Republic but the Scots and Irish still remain in support of the Royalists and proclaim Charles II as their King; England invades for the sake of its own stability and after feirce fighting deports all Royalist sympathisers and Confederate Catholic supporterss in Ireland, confiscating their land and again granting it to loyal Protestants.
2
>1660 King Charles II is restored on the death of Cromwell and all three Kingdoms granted independance, during the republican period each nation was granted the same right in terms of Parliamentary representation.
>His brother inherits the throne and is a Catholic sympathiser, he's overthrown in England and William of Oranje is invited to become King of England along with his wife Mary Stuart, James like his brother tries to rally troops to retake England; Scotland recognises him as King (apart from Highland Catholics who later become Jacobite supports); the Irish again raise up arms against England and are put down at the battle of the Boyne; more lands are confiscated from rebellious Catholics and given to Protestants, making Irish land owners almost exclusively protestant.
>1707 Scotland and England unify.
>18th century Ireland gives in to various aspect of Union under the Protestant controlled government in exchange for economic benefits (Customs union, Judiciary) in hope of gaining benefits of British colonies as Scotland now does without relinquishing independance.
>1798 Ireland has a republican revolution in an attempt to break off from soft union and become a Republic like France; with the help of British troops and the rebellion is put down.
>William Pitt (British Prime Minister) offers the solution of complete union with Ireland, Land reform and Catholic emancipation; the Union is passed in Ireland but Catholic Emancipation isn't passed till 1826, electroal reform till 1832, tithes till 1848 and land reform till 1878. These are gradual in hope of not pissing off the Protestant landowners.
3
>From 1801 Ireland is granted complete rights of representation
>1848 Ireland suffers from the Potato blight; which had occured before in 1740. During the 1740 famine, 38% of the Irish population died after the food market crashed from confiscation of goods; the British government aimed to prevent this by repealing tarrifs on imported food (the corn laws), giving money as aid to starving families, and limiting the ability of Landlords to impose harsh rents, and stopped tithes to the Church of Ireland; all this highly mitigated the famine, but large spread famine still occured in the West of Ireland, where railways weren't laid and getting food out to the West was almost impossible.
>Minor uprisings in Ireland begin and the formering of the IRB begins to support Irish nationalism, blaming the Anglo-Irish ascedancy for their woes.
>Nationalist are humilated by this stating that "England sent round the hand for poor old Ireland, when we never asked for it"
>Parnell becomes head of the Home rule league in 1880, during the land wars (resistance to landlords, which eventually leads to further land reforms) and Irish nationalism becomes a major agenda in British politics.
> After 3 home rule bills, the fourth passes, leading to immediate negotiations for the Independance of the Kingdom of Ireland; this is then resisted by the Ulster Protestants who raised the UVF in an attempt to resist home rule believing that "Being ruled by London is better than Rome [IE A Catholic majority]"
>Negotiations stop with the outbreak of world war one, the UVF forms a batallion to fight in Flanders and many Irish nationalists join up also leaving behind only the feircist resistors of "British rule".
>1916 the Easter rising in Dubliner destroys parts of the city, the Irish brigades are sent to put it down along with Reinforcements from England, most of Ireland comdemns the rising and people in Dublin come out to spit on the Sinn Fein rebels.
4
>The Leaders of 16 are executed and a wave of Sympathy and horror from the Irish population towards Sinn fein.
>1918 the Irish Parliamentary party (leading Nationalists) support the bill for Irish conscription leading to widescale protests and Sinn Fein surging in the elections everwhere but Northern Ireland and Dublin.
>Sinn Fein forms its own Parliament and begins a war of Independance again the British.
>Former British troops are sent to help the Irish Police put down the rebellion; these troops known as the "black and tans" were known for widespread repression and torture of IRA sympathisers.
> negotiations continue after 1918 but don't suceede and Sinn Fein refuse to participate in the negotiations, the Irish Parliament party were heavily discredited and thus weren't see to represent the Irish nationalists properly.
>1920 Ireland is split between North (6 protestant majority counties of Ulster) and the South, negotiations with Sinn Fein in 1912 lead to the Anglo Irish agreement and the independance of Southern Ireland as a British dominion known as the Irish free state.
>A civil war begins between the Anti Treaty IRA (the most radical branches) and the Pro-treaty (generally Catholic middle class) which then become Fianna Fáil , the Pro treaty wins and the Irish free state remains within the British Empire, but with home rule; during this strong Anti-Protestant sentiment rises and British collaboraters in the war of Independance are hunted down; leading to a dispora of Protestants to the North or Mainland Britain.
>Slowly through the 30's and 40's the Powers of the Irish King are slowly withdrawn and a President of Ireland created; the Anti-treaty IRA under Sinn Fein continue attempts to reclaim a 32 county Ireland.
>1948 Ireland is proclaimed a Republic and the office of the King of Ireland abolished.
5
>Catholic Irish are heavily repressed in the North and disenfranchised; Northern Irelands assembly is almost exclusive Protestant proclaming it "Proestant Nation for a Protestant people"
>Tensions are high and turn into all out war between the two communities after the battle of the Bogside in 1969; the UVF is reformed and various Paramilitaries fight openly in Northern Ireland, with the Royal Ulster Constabulary turning a blind eye to Protestant attacks on IRA sympathisers.
>1972 the British Parliament revokes Northern Irish home rule and sents in the British army to restore order.
>The British army is targetted by Nationalist paramilitaries which leads to a mass campaign of Marshal law in Catholic areas with various actions like Bloody Sunday straning relations between the British government and Irish community.
>Widespread bombing campaigns being again on Mainland Britain
>Fianna Fáil is still in power in Southern Ireland and although still claiming the Northern Counties of Ireland as their own, comdemn their former enemies of Sinn fein and the anti-treay IRA.
>the troubles continue with high tensions on both side until the Anglo-Irish agreement grants certain cross government powers between South Ireland and the British government which is strongly opposed by the Protestant majority in the North.
>Finally the 1998 belfast agreement is signed and both sides are disarmed, British troops withdraw, Southern Ireland recognises the North and revokes their claims, stating that the North shall only join the South when there is popular demand for it.
>Certain off groups like the PIRA reject this treaty but Sinn Fein remains a minor party in the South, and party of the power sharing agreement in the North.
Thats is the History, briefly, of Ireland.
they were irish nationalists resisting a foreign invasion of their country, perfectly natural and healthy
it's a shame they didn't kill a lot more
The IRA before the 1920's were potato niggers trying to git freedumz.
The IRA after the formation of Ireland, the group that fought in the Northern Ireland conflict, or more or less caused it. Was and a group funded by the CIA, supported by the USSR, chock full of gommies and probably existed for the same reason nearly all rebellious and separatist groups existed in the old European empires territory, to destroy those empires and ensure only the USA and USSR will stand.
The reason they are buttmad is because on this case UK didn't falter and if anyone looks deep enough they will see the gommies and how they were nothing more than pawns.
Brits out Blacks in
Lol no
They are niggers who stole the viking and British built Dublin like the blacks stole Rhodesia and South Africa.
Cromwell should have killed them all
Terrorist scum funded by the (((CIA))) to destabilize the british empire because america doesn't like any competitors at the "being powerful" game
Also, the picture posted is their leaders. Theyre socialist terrorist scum
>Starts thread about the IRA
>Uses picture of cartoon Scotsman
Basically the IRA are nationalist spawned from Marxists that broke off from the general middle class nationalism that was the main focus of post- Union Irish history, the Irish have always been slightly millitant but in 1916 a small band of these Marxists attempted to rise in Dublin, were defeated and because they were executed gained the sympathy of the Irish people.
Ireland had been granted home rule in 1912, and was set to become independant, but the Ulster crisis and world war one prevented it, in 1918 Sinn Fein overtook the IPP because unlike the IPP (Irish Parliamentary party) they opposed conscription for Irishmen.
After the war was over they waged a war of independance on police forces in Ireland, the British government bolstered this with former soldiers from the front which was a fucking disaster waiting to happen.
In 1920 The British government descided the only way to fix the problem was to partition Ireland between the predominantley Unionist North, and the Nationalist South, in 1921 an Anglo-Irish agreement was made granting the Southern Irish free state independnace as set out in the 1912 bill.
As you can imagine this pissed off a lot of Marxists who were fighting for a Republican Socialist Ireland, not a Monarchist Dominion, they fought a civil war between Pro (which later became Cumann na nGaedheal) and Anti treaty Sinn féin.
Anti treaty lost, and have been salty about it ever since, Ireland became a Republic in 1948 but they've been bombing the Union North and rode on the Gerrymanding of the Unionists in the 60s and 70s onwards.
>they were irish nationalists resisting a foreign invasion of their country, perfectly natural and healthy
You're retarded and don't understand irish history if you think this, Irish armies have landed in England supporting Scottish Kings to an English throne before now.
The history of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales are fundementally intertwined, its far more complicated than evil English invaders.
it's their homeland and country you dumb invader, same in africa, stay out and stop them coming here, your colonial mindset, globalist mindset is the exact reason the west is so fucked with niggers and muslims right now
Suck paki cock harder, Reginald
Say what you want, the irish are angels compared to what you have now. Maybe you could learn a thing or two from them about how to fight a corrupt government? Tip number 1: throwing your daughters at your invaders is a bad idea
>1400

1400. One four zero zero. Fourteen hundred. That we know of, at least. Innocent little girls sacrificed by you and your "leaders"
How many english victims were there in the Troubles? Cause i dont think the number was that high. I might be on crack, but you and your daughters are on cock. Pakistani cock.
What the fuck are you talking about Pedro?
1400 gangraped like it was their job. Did the irish do that? Oh, wait... Hmm...
Oh my god the denial, holy fuck. Wait you must be one of them! Holy shit, can i speak to an actual englishman instead of a paki leech, please? Get your welfare officer on the phone for Hajji, i need to actually jabe an intelligent conversation. But let me clue you in: Rotherham was industrialized child rape authorized by you and your government and enabled by limp wristed faggots like your countrymen. How much shame can you endure?
3532. Three Five Three Two. That we know of, at least. Innocent british citizens sacrificed by the IRA and your alphabet agencies.
How many american victims were in the troubles? Cause I dont think the number was that high
Ah Rotherham, yeah dont worry about that my little Juan, we'll have that sorted soon enough
The IRA who got the independence were descent lads. The lads after that not so much.
Commies who are worshipped even though they lost twice in a row.
England/UK has slapped around catholics for a long time historically.
Cromwell tried to take over Ireland and killed a bunch of people.
We didn't exactly bend over backwards when irish famine happened, Irish people ended up trying to eat potato shaped rocks instead of learning to fish.
Then there's the easter rising, where a bunch of Irish nationalists kicked off in 1916, middle of WW1, and then got upset when Brits didn't react well.
Also a few legitimately bad instances of UK fucking up like bloody sunday.
>2 deaths
cannot defend such a lame bombing
Notice how there were more Irishmen fighting against the IRA than for, its always a weird thought.
Before you ask why easily a good portion of those stated as British army are Irish regiments.
>soon enough
Oh yea, yep, sure. Take your time. No rush.
So we hear unending claptrap about the IRA, gotta make sure that fire never goes out... Does anyone over there care about Rotherham anymore? Do they even bat an eyelash? Its almost like there is some force trying to stoke up tension and hatred between two peoples who share a bond of history due to geographic location, culture, language, morals, values, and philosophies, while at the same time trying to bury the crimes caused by foreign invaders who share nothing with the land and people they are parasitising... Hmmm... Nah, maybe im just an amerishart, im sure there is no divide and conquer at work here.
Well the freestater were realistic. If we didn't accept the treaty Brits would of destroyed us.
In regards Northern Ireland maybe some day it will unite with the south. But Sinn Fein will not or must not have a part of that. Sinn Fein are scum.
All asking a question like that is gonna get is a mass of British shitposting. Quit baiting the brit autists.
That's the Scotsman you idiot, he's even speaking a Scottish regional language called Scots in that scene to insult Jack with racial slurs to get passed censors since kids can't into Scots. How you would start an Irish related thread with the image of a character whose only name is, "the Scotsman," is beyond me.
Feels like I want to travel Dublin and its suburban districts
>instead of learning how to fish
You're one dumb cunt do you know that? The whole island was starving, there was a lot of fishing, but not nearly enough was there to be caught to feed the 6million inhabitants you inbred English cunt.
I don't think heavy casualties was ever their MO. They mostly warned the civilians before they detonated anything.
>Thinks the sea has less than 6 million fish in it
You are the dumb one
The British parliament from what I read just didnt care enough.
That and coupled with the poor infrastructure of Ireland at the time meant hardly any relief was adequate or got there in a timely fashion.
A lot of the greedy, rich cunts in parliament didnt want to lower the tarriffs either in the event that it would hurt their profit margins or cause inflation or whatever in the UK. It was a problem with the institutions across Europe at the time being so out of touch with their subjects that they thought the famine would just blow over or the market would balance it out and some enterprise would get food out there due to the demand.
Now to say that the British intentionally committed genocide in Ireland is a bit of a stretch but it can look that way to many people especially with how negligent they were.
Also this was the first famine that caused exodus since Ireland recovered from the others relatively well up until that point. Most of the people had had enough though (who can blame them?) and immigrated to America.
They didn't bomb to kill civilians
Bunch of dirty unwashed pissed up spud niggas know better than isis
mad cuz ur uncle lost his legs cuz of my dad
Aye funny how you have the butchers apron adorning the background
See
Also the reason no Irishmen migrated in 1740 is because Ireland had no colonies, in the 1840s they had access to British colonies they could enter without migration permits and did.
The American Irish thing is a mid 20th century Hibernophile myth though very few Irishmen entered the United States till the late 19th century and even then minute in comparison to Germans. Or Irishmen in Canada and Australia.
Defend Britain halving the population of Ireland from 8 million to 4 million in the 19th century when Ireland was in the UK.
You're lucky there weren't more RA bombs tbqh because you deserve every one.
Kys taig. Brits are the only reason the population didnt hit 0. If we wanted to wipe you out we'd have already done it 800 years ago.
Brits did try the famine was a genocide. Charles Trevalyn: the famine was brought by God to "teach the Irish a lesson"
>taig
No one outside of NI huns use that word. They'll be a united Ireland soon free of the UK and literally nothing you can do to stop it Billy. Brit empire is dead and NI is a colonial relic. Ulster is Gaelic.
Trevalyn was under secretary to the tresury at the end of the famine and not remotley involved, but pioneered a plan to give Irishmen work so they could send the money home to buy food.
But its a Nice Nationalist propaganda piece.
Also anyone who thinks Ireland will be united is legit retarded, well done for exposing yourself as a retarded scouse plastic paddy.
See
Butthurt Brits ans their subhuman settlers can only run to nu/pol/ now. In the real world the Orange state is dead. Cucled by the superiority of the Gael. Weedy prods cant have enough children so they cant hang on to their colony.
When the united Ireland comes we will see their screeching autism. They delude themselves that it will never happen, as usual. But they said the same thing about SF in government, they said the same thing about muh fleg.
Another quote from Trevalyn:Our measures must proceed with as little disturbance as possible of the ordinary course of private trade, which must ever be the chief resource for the subsistence of the people, but, coûte que coûte (at any cost), the people must not, under any circumstances, be allowed to starve.
t. Autistic plastic LARPer
and now you will be achmed's fuck boi
>T. Jamal O'Flynn
they are commies that the leader sucks up to antifa
they are marxists that got independence by causing a shit storm by terrorizing england with bombs and killing children with nail bombs
the IRA are degenerates
Youve got to love the muh terrorism whine from slimey Anglos and theirroddy sycophants here in Ireland. The English literally have the blood of millions on their hands, not juts in Ireland but all of the world. How do you think the British Empire came about you morons? Violence, and lots of it. If Ireland can be conquered and repressed for centuries using some of the worst violence, why should only peaceful means be used to free it?? Thats just the rotten Anglo setting the rules in their favour. "We can do violence but if you do it its terrorism". Dont be fooled, all acts of war against England are legitimate, from the killing of those snotty warrington brats to all dissident attacks.
What difference was there between IRA bombs and those dropped on Germany by Churchill, with the open aim of terrorising the civiluan population to weaken enemy morale? A war England started btw.
Pro-IRA united Ireland larpers these days are some of the worst people residing in the Isles these days. Spare everyone else from your autism. They are the kind of cucks that think Michael Collins is a traitor to their "cause" because he didn't get every last patch of soil. Literal retards
Thanks
ya after that the infighhing and bullshit started which was all a rigged civil war bullshit fest
Michael Collins = Start
Later to be front to just move drugs I THINK.
No one codemns the easter rising you fucking idiot. Its the sunglasses-wearing, drug dealing beret larpers that shit up the Isles with their "muh oppressors" leftist politics and relentless autism
>Muh marxism
The IRA has never been and isn't a Marxist organisation. A Marxist faction did split away but were irrelevant. They were right anti British Imperialist, supporting other peoples in their fight against the Anglo. Which brings me to my next point.
>Muh Islam
The Irish Republican movement gave their support to Arab nationalism in their struggle against the Anglo insect. In those days Islamism wasnt a thing. In fact it was invented by Saudi Arabia with the support of the Anglo Jew coalition. This policy continues to this day. Britains RAF bombed Libya on the behealf of Jihadists. The Tory government has sent arms to Jihadists to fight the secular government of Syria. Assad was the type the IRA supported. Of course this redpill that would have been so obvious on old pol is utterly lost on nu pol and the Donald faggots who prefer simple explanations of world afairs as is typical of non neurotypicals.
>prefer simple explanations of world afairs as is typical of non neurotypicals.
Simple explanations like "muh anglo"?
