More about Ireland:
Formerly populated by Gaels, Ireland was not invaded by the Roman. Saint Patrick will evangelize the country. Irish attracts much greed; after the Vikings, The English will try to become established and they success. Their power really concerns only the region of Dublin. Ireland remains a Celtic and independent nation up to the 15 S, during the advent of Tudors. Ireland loses any political autonomy and its best lands are granted to English and Scottish Protestant colonists. In 1921, the British decide to divide the Island into two parts; the South becomes the Free State of Ireland, with status of British Domination and six counties of the northeast stay in the United Kingdom. This treaty of London throwing back the total independence, is refused by the Irish people and from 1922, a fight is made against the British occupant, and ends in a defeat. In 1948, Clann na Poblachta (people’s party) decides to give to the country the name of "Republic of Ireland" symbolizing the definitive and total break with the British monarchy.
