Ireland

Ireland (Irish: Éire) is the second largest part of the British isles. it was once part of Great Britain, but because the conservatives at the time treated the Irish like dirt they decided they would rather go to war and die than remain part of the UK. Now only a small part of Ireland in the north of the country remains part of the United Kingdom. Ireland and the UK together make up the British Isles.

The Republic of Ireland became a sovereign Republic on the 29th of December 1937, succeeding the Irish Free State, a state that came about after the Wars of Independence with the British. The United Kingdom maintains control over the majority of Ulster province, known as Northern Ireland.
