Half of these conflicts could have been avoided if the king of Leinster had just kept his gub shut.
+Pintroll300 Doubtful, The Kingdom of England/ Parliament of England/ British Empire conquered a large parts of the world, They pretty much have declared war on just about every nation that existed/exists.
Iceman ire well at least they could have had the decency to knock when they got around to us. I mean Ireland was pretty much the first major addition the kingdom of England (Later the centre of britain) ever gained.
Pintroll300 hahaha
Pintroll300
A succint analysis of history. Some people talk too much, but you get to the point. I like it.
Britain would have probably declared war anyway, unless Ireland was a great power at the time
Love Ireland from Denmark 🇮🇪💖🇩🇰
"World War II is coming soon, I promise." Wo, that's sounds ominous.
Oh hey I'learnt this topic in school in Singapore. Seeing all this, I'm now Super grateful that Singapore never has to deal with any of this bs (the exception being the Maria hertogh riots), where people regardless of religion or race live peacefully (or in tolerance of one another)
"Give Ireland back to the Irish" commence holy wars
thanks man. this Video helped me alot with my presentation in English class. Greetings from Germany
Well, it took half the video to get where I wanted to go, but it was worth it:)
I plan on doing a full proper video on The Troubles
Excellent! Great viewing. The artwork is awesome!
Very insightful and educational. Thanks for uploading!
My mums friends family lived in the north and when the were going on holiday they had to pack the car at night because if people saw that they were leaving their house would be torched
@Straight White British Protestant You're fucked in the head.
Great summary ... Thanks!
You should make one about the Punic Wars
Your video's are AWSOME
Ohey! I've been playing as MacMurchadha in CK2. Or at least, one of his ancestors.
We should celebrate each others cultures with the Irish music and the flute bands and whatever else comes with either side... The sooner we get over this shit the better... Both sides have compromised to get this far and we are living in peace.. I love this country and everybody in it... Everybody go to the 12th of July and St. Patrick's day... Shout NO SURRENDER & TIOCFAIDH AR LA!! (Make sure you shout the correct thing at the correct event)
Dude make more videos and make them faster!!!!!
Great video!
And then brexit and now a unified Ireland is coming
Can’t wait
Yeah might happen but really just means the troubles will start again
@Daniel Cronin Not necessarily. The terms of the Good Friday Agreement still apply. NI cannot be made part of the Republic without majority consent. This time I hope the British honour their signatures and don't get in the way.
@@conorfindlay8289 Only if Ireland gets a hard border. Which, in case you didn't know, the EU planned for when Brexit was voted for.
Feck, no wonder there's an Irexit now.
@Evan Scollan the unionist isn’t minority and I don’t think they will be for a long time , but still from recent surveys most people rather be in the union
Great video Rud
WHY CAN'T WE BE PART OF IRELAND INSTEAD OF THE UK FOR FECKS SAKE
@@Amoore-vv9wx Only because Northern Ireland was artificially created with an in-built unionist majority
Brilliant man the drawings are great very funny keep up the good work
can you do a video on conflict against ussr in the baltic states
I wish the British empire never set foot in Ireland ,we will have trouble for ever more ,there will never be peace as long as British rule is in Ireland
People like you are the ones keeping it going, get over it and move on with your own life.
With the NI Assembly back in operation, there really isn't any "British rule in Ireland." Now watch as the Sassenach forget their promises under the Good Friday Agreement. j/k
@freneticness _ Well put. 😬
7:34 not sometimes, Loyalists targeted Catholic civilians 9 out of 10 times
Well I guess the northern unionists were right when they chanted "Home Rule means Rome rule" given how strong the Catholic Church became in southern Ireland.
Yeah, another fuck up by that eejit de Valera. Collins would have made the a better leader.
@@ccody-long6915 too bad his own fucking dudes shot him.
Great job!
9.45 "I like what you've done with the place."
Apparently there was actually a difference between the pagan goddess Brighid and the historical Brighid (the saint) of the same name who founded Cill Dara (the church at Kildare)
Great video! Thanks :)
30 years after peace and still no security
great video!
thought it was spot on and unbaist as always. My farther seved durring the troubles and he agreed the catholics were being treated unfairly.
I want to see what monsters he had at his "monster rallies".
I live right beside the parliament building that was shown:-P
Sorry
Sincerely,
An English guy
+an onymud my great great grandad ran Cork for a while, wasn't a nice chap
there really isn't any ill feelings towards the English ppl from even the strongest nationalists (of which I am one, in Belfast nonetheless). it is the unionists we fuckn hate
+Norman Hampton I apologise too. My dad was a paratrooper and went to Northern Ireland during the troubles.
***** if every1 apologised for wat their forefathers did, wed never stop apologising. not ur fault, no worries :)
+ImpartialDawn thanks mate
How did you skip Ian Paisley?
Can Nationalists and Unionists not accept religious and ethnic diversity in Ireland? We must create a united Ireland, but not through violence our anticatholic/antiprotestant rhetoric. R.I.P Martin McGuinness
Could you do a video explaining the mongol expansions and Genghis Khan - Khublai-Khan?
or maybe the 30 years war in Europe???
I live in derry well north west derry and the siege is well remembered
ahaha every sign here with derry misspelt we have to correct it's while bad
So is that something that will be put to a vote(Northern Ireland reuniting with the Republic) similar to Scottish Independence or Brexit?
Crap bro this video was awesome thanks for making it very informative

JustAGuy no need to insult a country's language. Reflects really badly on you, mate. Have some respect for your neighbours.
Pictures & commentary aren't consistent on dates: e.g. partition:1920 per pictures but 1921 per commentary (1921 correct); independence: 1922 per pictures but 1921 per commentary (1922 correct); republic declaration: 1949 per pictures but 1948 per commentary (1949 correct). Also 05:40 "two newly formed states": No - NI is and not and never has been a State. Rather it's a UK region and the UK was not a new state. Finally, i'ts a pity adoption of current name & constitution for Ireland in 1937 was skipped over.
Doesn't NI have its own autonomous Govt - all but a State in name?
You state 'The IRA began attacking the Police and the British army' when talking about IRA activities, However when mentioning the UVF, UDA and Army you say that they targeted Catholic civilians and used repressive tactics. The IRA led a policy of Ethnic Cleansing against protestants living in Northern Ireland but notably South Armagh. This is shown with the Kingsmills Massacre, The Tullyvallen Massacre and the Darkley Massacre. All three atrocities happened just 10 minutes from my house and were an obvious attempt by Republicans to destroy and intimidate Protestants from the area. The kingsmills massacre was carried out by the IRA against a mini bus of Protestant Work men who left Glenanne factory. 12 workmen were on the bus and the only catholic of the group was told to step out and run. The remaining 11 Protestants were mercilessly gunned down. Your attempt to hide and shelter the IRA from blame of these atrocities is disgusting. I would advise everyone to investigate the murders of innocent Protestant and Catholic civilians as well as innocent UDR men, Police men and army before shouting support for these terrorists. The Americans supported these terrorists for 3 decades, no wonder the world finds it Ironic that you lead the 'War on Terror' now.. Maybe Karma? To IRA men who slaughter and butcher men like Robert Nairac and my Granda, Your day shall come, but not the day you suspect.
Nil e sin ceart!
The UVF and UDA almost exclusively attacked civillians and they were no where near as sofisticated as the IRA. Did the IRA murder civillians-yes without a doubt. What a your problem again?
+lovablesnowman no mate just no
+Codie Robb Are you going to actually refute my statement or just say "no no" with no evidence to discredit my statement?
+Codie Robb You do realise the Battle of the Boyne wasn't the decisive battle in the Williamite war?(of course you didn't) And what has the Williamite war got to do with the creation of a unionist dominated,gerrymandering,secterian state of Northen Ireland a state created in 1920?
Lol The statues in Derry at 9:53
No just DERRY
+Uk haha it was originally called Derry so shut the fuck up and about 80% call it Derry
+Uk oh my God you idiot. The city is called Derry. The county is called Londonderry, he/she is obviously talking about the city.
+Uk also, learn to spell 'exactly' and 'originally', and please fuck up about the IRA. I am a nationalist Catholic and I think some of the things that they did are terrible, the same as the UVF or UDA. They all have done terrible things
OH GOD I STARTED A FLAME WAR
So what you're saying is, Belfast isn't a good holiday destination? :D My family are Muslim and when my parents visited Ireland after they got married, they found it was a good way to not have to pick sides.
Absolutely not. Belfast is a great city with many things for tourists.
Not only that, but it's only a short time from really gorgeous countryside!
Like most cities, it has its areas of social problems but the city centre is lovely!
www.discovernorthernireland.com/destinationNI/cityBelfast.aspx
Perhaps we should consider the north if we ever go back then! Only went to Cobh and Cork previously because it's where my grandma grew up. I think the number one destination I'd like to visit in Northern Ireland is probably Lough Neagh though, not the big city.
Giant's Causeway too is a big tourist draw, and of course Donegal! She be a fine county altogether! :D
RudtheSpud Well said Spud
BooksMusicMe17 Trust me if you go to Lough Neagh you will be incredibly bored after 5 mins or so. Belfast is a city but I would not call it big I can literally go from one side to another in 10 minutes in the car. But there is a huge amount of stuff to do and see within this compact city
Ireland is a Great Land, and if they applied themselves a deal more to growth, and re structure they will be great again. I don't believe the Island of Saints and Scholars is dead, I just think it's ill. This is coming from an Ulster Scot descendant in the US.
Not all this ulster scott stuff again...
Hahaha, alright, DESCENDANT, and i really don't think it matters
evan nesbitt yeah it's fine we hear it a lot over in Northern Ireland lol, plenty o' tourists!
THere was no plantation.
Keron war plz
i'm ashamed of the fact my country doesn't even teach us anything about northern ireland and it's the same country officially

I’m pretty sure as soon as he mentioned Oliver Cromwell ever single Irish person, including myself, rolled there eyes and went “ ughhhhh! “
theres a great song by monty python that sums up your (and my) opinion about him
@@moss_and_ivy3517 And another one by Morrissey which does an arguably better job.

Fantastic video!
I hope my Independent Retirement Account doesn't become violent.
Thats the best and most priceless response I have ever read since learning about The Troubles in the last 12 years.
Phrankie Loewpehz haha then stay outta Belfast cuz its a new type of "Troubles" in here
Phrankie Loewpehz not really just stay out of East,West and North Belfast you'll be sweet
@@Wtfbrourmad yeah south belfast and lisburn are full of posh pricks lmao
Do the Yugoslav wars of the 90s please
H CRL i would love a video about that!
Check WonderWhy's channel
jim richardson as long as Daniel O'Donnell was safe and well I wouldn't mind
Ethan Lewis lol terrible
You want another shitstorm of comments?😂
And I thought US politics was divided...
Ireland: Hold our beer.
The closest thing Ireland has to our Republican Party, and in terms of membership numbers proportionally as big, can't get a majority in their Parliament, first, because the founder of the party died; second, because party members in said Parliament were proven to be so bad at math the consensus was they shouldn't be trusted with running a whole government. This last having happened four years before the Great Recession in '08.
We're minor league compared to the Irish. 😜
let the sectarian war in the comments begin
Master Chief hello
Master Chief cool
Fuck the Nationalists YEOOOO!!!!
@@NorthernIrishman Fuck the Unionists YEOOOO!!!!
I hope I'm not considered one of those. Maybe I should explain. My dad's side is Ulster Scots (though he denied having any Irish at all until my adulthood), my mom's is Catholic from Longford. Not surprisingly, I was brought up favouring an all-island Irish nation, autonomous and free from GB. I'm no longer keen on it if the majority in the North want to remain in the UK.
I fancy myself an Irish nationalist but I'm also amenable to the views of the majority in the North. I could easily side with either tradition, but the wheel of history tells me my original instincts are right.
I'm watching this so I can understand Derry Girls
TheMightyKinkle dude SAME
Derry girls doesn’t talk about politics that much
@@user-go3jv8rw7i Its so I can understand the overall theme and back story
TheMightyKinkle ah okay I get you 👌✌️
Fun fact. St. Patrick is actually more associated with the color blue than with the color green. He earned the green part because he used to tie shamrocks to his robs since he often used them as a metaphor for the holy trinity, each leaf of the clover representing one person of the God head. However, his order and he himself wore blue robes of a lighter shade. While we're on the topic of the whole blue green thing, since the twelfth century, Ireland's national color was blue. You can see this for instance in the ancient Irish standard, a golden harp on a blue background. However, in more recent times, Ireland has become more associated with the color green due to the IRA. Just some interesting facts about Ireland and St. Patrick (I'm Irish-American).
+While you were reading this long name i stole your cereal funfact St Patrick didn't believe in God but he was kidnapped and went to Ireland when he got home he had a dream that the people in Irelandwere calling him so he went back and showed Christianity to Ireland it was St Brigid that brought the religion of Catholics in Ireland because she was from Kerry
Aine O'Kane wasn't she from Kildare?
There are few "FACTS" when it comes to Patrick,(if any) it is not known where he came from. Most believe it was somewhere in Britain but it cannot be ascertained for certain where he was really from, however some even postulate that he may be from Brittany.
Some say he wasn't real at all, merely a fabrication or origin myth to unite all Irish Christians behind one powerful figure. Some say he is a mixture of three different people.
The only thing we know for certain is that he was not the first to bring Christianity to Ireland.
Give ireland back too the irish
Make Ireland Irish today.
The Protestants are Irish too and want very little to do with Ireland. All that murder by the IRA and still no United Ireland.
@@EuropeanQoheleth Oh it IS! Just because it's not quite the kind of Irishness you want, doesn't negate the fact that it IS Irish.
@@derekmcmanus8615 So they're human. Maybe the very popular saying, among us Irish-Americans at least, "the only reason the Irish fight among themselves is they can find no other worthy opponents," should be shelved for a few THOUSAND years? Naah, that'd never work.
@Shane O'Connor:
Silly person, the British did that in 1921. The Anglo-Irish Treaty, remember?
Thank you so much. I'm giving a speech about Northern Ireland and couldn't find any page about the History which was short enough so I could read it in 5 hours. I really appreciate your work. Would be nice if you'd have subtitles next time, because you speak so fast so it's hard for me to understand every word. I'm from Germany :) Thanks
Thanks so much for this amazing video!
We discussed Irish History at university and this is great to gain an overview.
However, I think it would be good if you would speak a little slower. The pace in this video is really fast, a bit too fast in my opinion if one wants to read the dates and names whilst listening along. But except for that: well done! :)
Welcome to Northern Irish speakers, you'll have to get used to it to understand :)
I went to Belfast in August, I had a fantastic time there. As someone who grew up unaware of the situation from 1969-1998, I first heard of Northern Ireland as a result of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, I wanted to see for myself what it is like there. One of the aspects of the agreement that got my attention, was that by voting for peace, people were being asked to vote for the release of their loved one's killer. All political prisoners were to be released. It really struck me how much Belfast has changed (looking at pictures from the news anyway) for the better. I filmed my stay in Belfast and divided it into 3 parts, feel free to check it out as you please.
like your videos by the way, keep them up,
best,
Simon
+sbaker190189 That's why we (Protestants) would undo it all in the morning so to say. The recent activity by the IRA have shown and in the recent MI5 report that the IRA did not go away like the said they had, the IRA army council still retain control over Sinn Fein. The Protestant people of Northern Ireland were sold a lie. We have been attacked by Sinn Fein telling us to move on and forget about the troubles but yet they still hold their Easter Rising commemorations and remember their 'Martyr' Dead. Sinn Fein have told that many lies and spins that I think they start to believe them themselves. I think Republicans are treading a dangerous road because even the moderate Protestants and Unionists are sick to the death of the IRA bombing and disrupting our lives that one more straw can break the camels back. The retaliation will be ruthless and relentless.
+Pagan Lord the first stretch of road I traveled on, on the shuttle bus from George Best Belfast City Airport, I traveled through a unionist area, and saw more Union Jacks concentrated in individual areas than I see in the entire area of England I live in, greater London. Even the area around where I stayed (Dublin Road, Belfast, about 5 minutes walk from City Hall) I didn't have to walk far to see more Union Jacks.
I would like to read your opinion, (don't worry, I will not express one view or another, purely asking for devils advocate purpose) what do you feel when there's news broadcast during marching seasons about sectarian clashes on marches routes?
sbaker190189 I believe that the reason for so many Union Flags in areas is that of two reasons. 1. The people here are much more patriotic and fervent in their country as at all times our position in the country is unstable. England will never be removed from the UK however at any time Northern Ireland may be and so I believe this is a sign of loyalty to a government that would probably give us away. 2. The people in these areas could be intimidated. I know a place called Latt outside Republican Newry and they have a ridiculous amount of flags and signs, however the main reason for this is that they are constantly under intimidation and threat with the most recent shooting happening about 3 weeks ago. The flags are to lay out a kind of border or 'No-go' area and give a sense of security to these people who feel helpless in the relentless attacks of the IRA.
Onto the second part of your answer. Being an Orange man I am ashamed and sorrowful at the same time at these clashes in the street. I am ashamed that people and supporters of my Organisation would bring it into so much disrepute, however the fat that a biased Parades Commission is now ruling over the parades in Northern Ireland leads to the fact that many parades, which have marched for 150 years are now being stopped due to Catholics moving into areas and then requesting them to be stopped. The Protestant people are people of Tradition and don't like change. We have accepted Murderers into Government however it seems more and more ground is being concede to Terrorist Republican movements that suddenly it becomes effective to carry out violence. I feel that our culture and Identity is being eroded by people who wish to destroy us and use 'Equality' as a 'Trojan Horse' as Sinn Fein President said 'We will break these Bas***ds with the Trojan Horse of Equality'
My people are being attacked on all sides telling us to move on and forgive and forget. We have not even had an apology for the murders carried out by those who sit in Government.
+Pagan Lord only reason I asked was that (as I said in my original comment) I wanted to travel to Belfast to see for myself what the place is like and to research about the goings on from 1969 to 1998.
The positive impact that Belfast had on me was such that I will one day quite happily return, exploring more of the city and the rest of Northern Ireland for that matter, than I got the chance to in August 2015. Genuinely, thank you for your opinion. My stay in Belfast I recorded as 3 vlogs & one slideshow (all of which are on my channel, feel free to have a look).
best
Simon
Belfast's a shithole
Whatever everyone else says, I think this is a really good overview; it's short and humorous and all in all well done.
As a dutchman, I was suprised to hear that Willem III played a role in this I never heared anything about it in history class. Thank you for the video.
The idiots still march in his name every year.
@Caden Patton MacAlasdair id like to remind you Protestant unionists are a small minority on the Island of Ireland 🇮🇪 Though religion is pretty much dead in the Republic
The part on the potato famine, Irish people didn't die because the crop failed, it did fail but the other crops did well. These crops ending up in English ports. This has to start being mentioned a bit more, because you assume there wasn't enough food, when there was tons.
Yvonne O check out my others videos. I mention it there.
@@JohnDRuddyMannyMan Yes mate I made that assumption, and so do a lot of people. Ships leaving Ireland loaded up with food getting put into the background, and you have to do research to find out how the potato wasn't the problem.
I do like the bit where you say the Scottish and English moved to northern Ireland, this isn't said much either.
"began attacking the british army"
How can you not mention this was after british paratroopers fired indiscriminately into a crowd of people killing over a dozen and wounding at least as many?
A friend of mine who served in the troubles (RUC) had death threats coming through his door atvan alarming rate, so much so that he was forced to move city. I lived trough the troubles in NI and I can say that times have changed and we shouldn't be represented as a country by those minority members of the "modern" paramilitaries as we have moved on and became united as Northern Irish people. The country in my opinion would be much better ruled by les extreme parties (anyone but SF and DUP). My friend now lives in an integrated area and is on the BoG in an Integrated school and I think it's time the whole country becomes one big integrated society.
Sorry Ramble Rant complete.
Adam Speers how is Sinn Fein radical? There are only accusations against their connection with the IRA
Good for you - forward looking and wanting peace
Im not Northern Irish , Im Irish and Irish only . What are you views on the plantation of Ulster - the elephant in the room that no one talks about especially regarding the Brexit. Violence and strife did not start in 1969
My dad went to NI during the troubles he was military police so I'm kind of biased tbh, one of the biggest stories he told me was of a officer of the RUC he got to know , after he left he found out that the IRA had kidnapped and raped his wife and daughter in the end his daughter got pregnant and both her and his wife commited suicide, both sides did horrible things. The media treats people like my dad has criminals even here in England , when all his job was to stop both sides from killing each other but In the end the IRA attacking the soldiers only caused a hate to begin to boil in some of the soldiers , my dad saw this happening first hand, a IRA road bomb caused severe damage to my dad and ended his military career and caused issues he's still suffering from today, but not once my dad has said he hates the Irish he was just doing his job.
@@evannesbitt7852 Both Sinn Fein and the DUP are radical. Both have connections to paramilitaries and both have members that have evidence to conmect them to memberships of such paramilitaries. Those parties do not represent young people in NI today and are the shadow of a hardened and immovable generation
Interesting video although the narration was a little too fast for people alien to this topic. thanks!
John Ruddy pal (don't know if you'll see this or not). I'm sorry about a comment I left around 3 years ago talking about how Ireland was fairly administered in the UK or how the population in the north of the Island all wanted to be British and other crap like that. I've completely changed my ideology on the IRA, monarchy and the Island of Ireland as a nation. I openly now support the IRA, I hate the monarchy in the England (not everyone is a royalist or posh boy) and wish to see a united Ireland under a republican democratic system.
Good on you, the ones who arrived at Republican conclusions through analysis and thought are even better then those born into it
@@seanmacuaiteir437 Yeah... it all mostly roots from imperialism and colonization that en Empire forced upon most types of people. With questioning and rebelling, countries like Ireland and the US were born from fighting oppressing monarchs, great republics the both are.
Absolutely love it :) Good sense of humour there!
Good video but it needs to be explained more about the great irish genocide when the potato failed, England took our beef chicken etc because the potatoes failed in England too and they murdered millions of irish through starvation.
Erin go bragh
you just saved me hours of research for my history presentation, THANK YOU!!!
You forgot the part about the IRA attacking civilians...
You're wrong John D Ruddy and most of your information is biased and unproven. The name of video title shows just how much of a thug you really are, and this is coming form a British and Irish men, there's no such "north Ireland" or "North (of Ireland)" but the official name is "Northern Ireland" in the United Kingdom. Some people in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland back from 1801-1922 were happy to be in that country, regardless of religion. But times change and in 1921 along with the 1921 Irish Anglo Act (later became active in 1922) Ireland did become fully independent with it's own laws and government soon after. You're the sorta person who would be on the "anti treaty" side in the Irish Civil War (1922-1923) and become a problem!
Ah the joys of assumption!
The inclusion of "(of Ireland)" in the title is simply to clarify to my international audience which north in talking about, as we both know "The North" is a common name for Northern Ireland.
+John D Ruddy Ok, so you're not as dumb as other IRA terrorists (or at least what I suspect). It maybe a "common name" (regardless of religion) in either Ireland or the UK, but it's still not official and as no real meaning! I will admit though that your video is pretty detailed at times. One last thing...There's no such country as "Great Britain" but the" United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" is the really long name for it (It's best known as United Kingdom).
+Awesome LOL if you are making a video about the UK, would you use the short, snappy, attention grabbing, "UK" or the long, boring, formal," the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". Above all else, he has to be able to make money in order to keep making these videos, and he wouldn't get as many views as if he used a longer name.
+Awesome LOL from the fact u refer to him as an IRA terrorist for making a historical video and the fact that you are posting replies under a false name im gonna assume you are a bigoted bitter unionist who doesnt like it when facts are spoken about cause it doesnt fit with your twisted views on history.
Umm no! I never said he was defiantly a "terrorist", search up what "suspect" actually means. I was only really helping him out, in terms of how he used "Great Britain" and he may have thought it was a country. Chris I'm NOT even religious (so fuck you and you god/s on that) I also mentioned that I like parts of his video and had no problems there.
In my opinion I think it's very unlikely that most people use their real name on TH-cam, plus why would you?
What do you think Ireland would be like today if Wolfe Tone's revolution with the French had have happened?
Different
TheGaelicShadow Good answer
JustAGuy well im not wrong lol
Adam Mc Garrity The only reason that England was so desperate to maintain authority in Ireland was because of the French. If the French had arrived to aid the United Irishmen, chances are that sooner or later, with the then growing paranoid concern of a French Empire dominating the world, Ireland would have eventually became a military base for a French armada, a stepping stone for the French to finally launch an invasion attempt against Britain. This was always a concern of the British, the primary reason they didn't want to give Ireland up.
Seán Quinn The English were also afraid of the Spanish using Ireland as a base to attack England.
Make a vid with the different irish organizations. There was atleast 3 socialist/marxist ones.
0:00 Conlicts
And then came Brexit...
And now with a hard "Brexit" looming, it is going to get worse if a scenario of a wall is entertained throughout northern Ireland. Great Job Boris Johnson the Trump of the U.K.
We're going to build a wall and Ireland going to pay for it.
It isn't just Johnson. It's the Home Counties MPs of the Tory persuasion who are, to use a popular Americanism, ass heads about the whole thing.
@@ulsterscotsman6648 is right
@@Krass.Estranged Come on, even Boris "I can't afford hairspray" Johnson isn't quite That much like Trump.

Do a video about the trio of Baltic states please 🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪
I live in the Republic of Ireland. Even though the troubles have ended and there is no more violence you have to respect the people in the north wanting to stay tied to Britain. They are the people living there so it is there choice. I think one day the North will unite with the south but it will probably be a half a century until it happens. As long as they are happy you should respect that.
if the first decades are stable and peaceful for Ireland and northern ireland then it would make sense that they would unite with each other
+MIC2077 See the reason the north doesn't want to is that it is a protestant majority and the north feels more like a part of Britain than Ireland. The north or Ireland had a plantation century's ago where people from Scotland and parts of England emigrated to the north. So a high percentage of the populations descendants were Scottish or English.
+Cian Gargan sorry I didn't make my comment clear. I was talking about the future for Ireland not the past.
Actually, a poll recently demonstrated that there is a slight majority of catholics in northern ireland. I came to this video looking for an explanation for that, since I have to answer it in a university exam, but I find no clear answer...
I'm screwed.
lol but 'we' are not happy. there is no progress and sectarianism is rife. I love the south, but u fuckers have let freedom cloud ur judgement.
I've a feeling you're bias about this.
One year late, but how so?
@@moonbug7252 He seems to gloss over how harsh the penal laws were, and how the natives of Ireland continuously had their rights, culture, and language taken away.
Aubrey Graham can’t be sure but I believe he said in a video a while back that he’s from the republic somewhere
@@aubreygraham5821 going by his accent, he's clearly Irish soooo
Could you make a Hundred Years' War video?
Daniel o donnel 😂😂
Interesting enough, John Delorean did more to ease the discrimination of Catholics than any politicians by hiring people from any community in Belfast
Northern ireland is a great part of the uk
Very informative and unbiased.. Wish I had this video for doing history for the Leaving Cert. All the facts are there. Great stuff.
Except they muddle up dates....See my point above.
WW2 is coming soon! Did WW2 end?
No it did not.
You forgot to mention that loyalists specifically targeted civilians while the IRA at least sent in warnings when bombing cities
Triple F yeah just like the warning in Omagh that sent them towards the bomb
Yeah great warning when they killed 13 people with a napalm bomb ffs.
Very informative and newspapers never followed this. I always had to depend upon word of mouth to understand. Then people always made vague comments long ago that I could never understand as a teen. Thanks.
Ireland unfree shall never be at peace
Sam Corcoran
Its pretty much at peace now.
+51wins *Ireland unfree shall mostly be at peace with occasional flare ups in violence usually regarding "flegs"
Michael Halligan I like the way you think
I wasn't aware Ireland was unfree...
The value of the pound has dropped massively. I wouldn't call that a booming economy.
funny how my response to this was "wow people are terrible to each other" and most of the other comments are indeed people being terrible to each other.

Bloody Sunday?
+Max Harkin Thousands of innocents killed by IRA?
+SAS Gunner Not really comparable to the amount of civilians the British army has killed in the past :') and continue to do ..
+Max Harkin
Pretty sure you are confused. IRA murdered a lot more civilians than the British army. Also we don't kill civilians now you dumb twit. Go back to your potato fields. If you support the IRA, you are the same as an ISIS supporter.
words cannot describe how ignorant you are...
+Ultan Mahon
Are you just going to ignore the Dunmanway killings and cherry-pick atrocities like every other Irish Republican?
