Religious Wars in IrelandThe most troublesome religious boundary in Western Europe lies on the island of Eire (Ireland). The Republic of Ireland, which occupies five-sixths of the island, is 92% Roman Catholic, but the island’s northern one-sixth, which is part of the United Kingdom rather than Ireland, is about 58% Protestant and 42% Roman Catholic (see Figure 6-14).388620029845The entire island was an English colony for many centuries and was made part of the United Kingdom in 1801. Agitation for independence from Britain increased in Ireland during the 19th century, especially after poor economic conditions and famine in the 1840s led to mass emigration. Following the succession of blood confrontations, Ireland became a self-governing dominion within the British Empire in 1921. Complete independence was declared in 1937, and a republic was created in 1949.When most of Ireland became independent, a majority in six northern counties voted to remain in the United Kingdom. Protestants, who comprised the majority in Northern Ireland, preferred to be part of the predominantly Protestant United Kingdom rather than join the predominantly Roman Catholic Republic of Ireland.388620090170Roman Catholics in Northern Ireland have been victimized by discriminatory practices, such as exclusion from higher paying jobs and better schools. Demonstrations by Roman Catholics protesting discrimination began in 1968. Since then, more than 3,000 have been killed in Northern Ireland – both Protestants and Roman Catholics – in a never-ending cycle of demonstrations and protests.A small number of Roman Catholics in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland joined the Irish Republican Army (IRA), a militant organization dedicated to achieving Irish national unity by whatever means available, including violence. Similarly, a scattering of Protestants created extremist organizations to fight the IRA, including the Ulster Defense Force (UDF). Although the overwhelming majority of Northern Ireland’s Roman Catholics and Protestants were willing to live peacefully with other religious group, extremists disrupt daily life for everyone. As long as most Protestants are firmly committed to remaining in the United Kingdom and most Roman Catholics are equally committed to union with the Republic of Ireland, peaceful settlement appears difficult. Peace agreements implemented in 1999 provided for the sharing of power, but the British government has suspended the arrangement several times because of violations. Which two religions are in conflict in Northern Ireland? Which of the religions are more loyal to United Kingdom and which is more loyal to Ireland?Why is Northern Ireland a part of the United Kingdom and not a part of Ireland?What is the root of the conflict between these two religious groups?What is the IRA (Irish Republican Army)?Why cant the two groups live peacefully? ................
