The North, want nothing to do with the Catholic South. And they choose to remain as part of the UK. So do tell us, just who you want Ireland to be free of?
This is the idiocy we really are talking about today. And none of you know anything about Irish history either, many southern Irish are the same, as we read them, believing the English crown had no rights on those lands in Ireland? Yet the history, proving them to be completely wrong is all so freely available, for anyone to look up, and to study! So, what is it all really about? It's more commonly known as outright ignorance. It was the King of Leinster, Dermot MacMurrough, who was deposed by the High King of Ireland, Rory O'Conor, In 1167. And that saw Dermot MacMurrough then solicited help from King Henry II of England, by offering him lands In exchange for his help. Dermot MacMurrough also gained the military support of the Earl of Pembroke, known as "Strongbow". -- Only he was not recognised by Henry II, as he'd been deprived of his title of Earl, by King Henry ll, for siding with King Stephen of England, against Henry's mother, the Empress Matilda. But, Dermot MacMurrough, had also promised Strongbow the hand in marriage of his daughter Aoife, and the right to succeed to the Kingship of Leinster (behind Henry's back). So, on learning this, Henry II, then mounted a larger second invasion in 1171, to ensure Dermot MacMurrough kept to the deal of land for that critical help, plus to maintain his control over Strongbow. And that resulted in the "Norman Lordship of Ireland". Again, anyone can merely look up. Dermot MacMurrough was seen throughout Irish history as the Irish King that invited the first Anglo-Norman settlers, to those lands. So, all these historical denials and all of this really juvenile attempted propaganda, is pointless. England not only had every right to those lands, but it fought for them, and it won them. As for, the Irish war of independence, in Ireland, that ended with a truce on 11 July 1921? Well, the conflict had reached a stalemate, and the initial breakthrough that led to the truce, was credited to three people... King George V, Prime Minister of South Africa General Jan Smuts, and David Lloyd George. The truce resulted with the "Anglo-Irish Treaty" that allowed Northern Ireland to opt out of the Free State, if it wished, (which it duly did on 8 December 1922, under the procedures laid down). And a new system of government was created, for the new Irish Free State. But a hardline group of Anti-Treaty, IRA men, then occupied several public buildings in Dublin, in an effort to bring down the treaty, and restart the war with the British. Only desperate to get the new Irish Free State off the ground, Michael Collins attacked the anti-treaty militants in Dublin, causing fighting to break out around the country. This led to the civil war that was waged between the Provisional Government of Ireland, and the anti-Treaty Irish Republican Army, (IRA), from 1922 to 1969, over the Anglo-Irish Treaty. The Irish Civil War lasted until mid-1923, and cost the lives of many of the leaders of the independence movement, notably the head of the Provisional Government Michael Collins, ex-minister Cathal Brugha, and many others. Total casualties have never been determined, but were much higher than those in the earlier fighting against the British. The Irish Free State tried to unify Ireland, and they failed dismally, with the North wanting nothing to do with the Catholic South, and they insisted they remained as part of the UK, as they still do, to this day. So again, free Ireland from what?
