Biggest problem is the Irish do not have an air force at all. Nor a working Navy. Britain can deploy their air force in less than 24 hours. The UK is in NATO and Ireland isn't. Any incursion in to UK land means all NATO countries HAVE to fight on the UK's side regardless of the EU.
Article 42 of the Treaty of the European Union "if a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member States have an obligation to aid and assist it by all the means in their power" If the UK attacks first they are also attacking the EU.
As an Irish person there are a few things you missed, the military most likely would have used castles as a fort to spot and stop British soldiers most likely with machine guns, the wicklow mountains would have most likely slowed down British forces heading south as well as the other mountains(also the Irish army might of hidden in the mountains as well as farmers might be fighting with their rifles for their land) Edit: our allies may send military troops and equipment to Ireland so we don’t fight with weapons from the 90’s
A Irish war that seems most likely to me, is a reunification measure passing in the northern Irish Parliament followed by the RUC(or whatever they're called now) and various Protestant paramilitaries staging a coup and declaring independence from the UK. Intense Urban combat takes place throughout Belfast and Darry as as the majority Protestant police aided by Protestant militants and mobs attacks Catholic and minority neighborhoods throughout Northern Ireland and battle Catholic police and the few remaining IRA sleeper cells. Protestant rebels are able to capture the majority of the UK's arsenal in Northern Irish military bases including f-35 fighter jets and nuclear weapons. As well as a large portion of the British fleet. With nukes on their side they are able to secure massive amounts of British weapons. They soon commence a nakba like expulsion of non Protestants from Northern Ireland after which the Republic of Era declares war on Northern Ireland. However since they don't have that many weapons the northern Irish Protestants are able to conquer most of southern Ireland until a US led coalition takes over the island
I was always told in a War we would put up a great fight but potentially lose more than win, but would never really be conquered or beaten beyond resistance, there will always be Ireland... History even shows how it always happens 😂😂
I looked back at this video and I feel like France would have been more on Ireland's side than Germany. I feel like the Middle East would have a big role in the war as well. Anyways, good video.
Ireland Was Under British Influence and control for over 700 years. In only 1921 when the British were severely weakened after WW1 did the Irish get Independence.

In any situation, historical or present, We (Ireland) would lose any time, historically we had half the population of them, but in modern day they have millions more then us so we would always lose
Fun fact though, (unless you are a republican) the RAF provides air cover for Ireland, the Irish don't have an air force, radar, ASW, there are two naval boats, one of which has no sailors and is mothballed in port. the UK could crush Ireland in a weekend.
Ireland, being a neutral country during the Cold War, was obliged to deny the use of its territory and airspace for an attack on Britain. Hence, Ireland agreed with Britain that should, e.g. the Soviet airforce attempt to do so, British aircraft could enter Irish airspace to intercept them. This did not amount to a mutual defence treaty. If Britain were to resume its war against Ireland after a one century lull, then I suppose we would have a few more centuries of guerilla warfare -- a rather unprofitable prospect from a British point of view.
Our navy is to protect our fish. Our air corp ' all three planes ' are used for fly overs at ceremonial events & our army are all on peace keeping duties around the world. So Britain would probably conquer us in an afternoon. Then we would all go to the pub for a drink. 🇮🇪
As an Irish person, I hate it when Irish people say "yeah we could smoke the British easy" because we CANT, we have an army of less than 10k and the UK has 1M+ And plus, they could get to Rosslare harbour through Wales no problem, where they could reach Dublin within hours also they could send forces to the NI border and with that they'd reach important areas like Dundalk and Dublin even quicker, with two waves of forces coming to Dublin in 2 different directions, also being able to have some ships go to Cork, Ireland would fall within a week or so
Tensions escalated and the UK declared war on them. However they overestimated there ability to sustain the war at the start, and underestimated Ireland.

Awsome😂 I think scenarios like this are cool even though it’s weak verses strong. Maybe if the weak country loses something bad happens to the aggressor because of this action. Or the weak nation can somehow win like Vietnam did-their geography can help them defend Another thing maybe if possible you can learn about the states of that nation that will be said or something to help know the place of what the aggressor is taking. Like for example Canada takes Maine
I'd say Israel would join the UK meanwhile Ireland would have Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, Turkey and maybe (just maybe because of those countries) Russia and China could intervene to defend Ireland since Iran is already involved.
@@JoeMama-qj2ch I like how you say “you” like I did it. It’s true, the British committed terrible things to the Irish. But the Irish were still disorganized, had a smaller population, and weaker army’s, that’s why they were conquered.
Great video, one minor problem. Poland would likely be on the UK’s side. Poland and UK are very strong allies, a lot of Poles migrate to the UK and obviously some sentiment from WW2. But yeah a really good well thought out video, as a Brit myself I definitely agree that Ireland while completely unable to win would at least put up a good fight. The justification for the war makes sense too.
I don't think Russia would join on the UK's side, both share a terrible relationship. But if they did it probably prompt most NATO countries to support ireland and the UK would still win.

Irish Americans would have supported Ireland just like in the troubles. Also like in the troubles we would have seen Scottish and Welsh terrorists/freedom fighters. Maybe even some Cornish. While small would be able to disrupt british forces and force the uk to split its man power.
It's extremely unlikely Scottish and Welsh Terrorists and Freedom fighters would pop up. Scotland and Wales aren't being oppressed by England, and there's no way the Scottish would choose to fight with force instead of diplomacy at first. While I do agree that Irish-Americans would support Ireland that doesn't mean the U.S as a whole automatically supports Ireland.
@@UnitedKingdomPlays I agree whole heartily with the America part but during the troubles we had Scots and Welsh people fighting for cause of independence. The oppression would be that we're not a free and sovereign nations. Northern Ireland weren't technically oppressed either. Just continuation of people wanting independence since the 1920s. the only major difference between Scotland and Ireland is Ireland did fight for it in more recent memories by the time of the 50s. Scotland easily could have done the same had Scottish independence ideals been more prevalent during ww1. Given an opportunity as well many people would take it too to try fight for independence. UK war on Ireland would be such time, the UK war on Ireland would have many similar reactions as with the troubles and probably more so as it the nation of Ireland rather than a British controlled territory.
@@UnitedKingdomPlays fair enough i definitely agree that the Scottish parliament and Welsh assembly would. The people are a little more free to decide. But yeah we can always agree to disagree. Much respect! P.S still enjoyed the video
@@Tomahawk.01 The British basically just accepted it and left. Not much of a fight was put up by them at all in 1921. (Also he's talking abt modern day anyway)
Other countries are sending them Military and economic aid. Which I did include in this video with support countries. No country has officially joined the war on Ukraine's side and that's how it would be with Ireland too.
"The British and Irish Governments enjoy a strong partnership that supports reconciliation and prosperity for both countries. Britain is Ireland's closest neighbor and most important economic partner, in trade, investment and tourism. €1 billion of trade in goods and services flows across the Irish Sea every week." The UK and Ireland in the modern day share a strong relationship and partnership.
This is a joke what are the Irish going to throw at the English potatoes,besides this Briton has got over there problems with Ireland if any thing they would fight to get her.
Yes, Ireland has an air force called the Irish Air Corps, or An tAerchór in Irish. The Air Corps is a branch of the Defence Forces of Ireland and is headquartered at Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel, Dublin. The Air Corps's main goals are to support military operations and provide air support to other government agencies. The Air Corps operates a variety of aircraft, including fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, and works in conjunction with the Irish Army, Irish Naval Service, and Garda Síochána
Most of those planes are not able to fight there is only 8 planes that can operate as fighters or close air support Britain has more planes in northern Ireland than Ireland has aircraft
You have no idea of the effect this would have on Irish America.... and all the friendly countries that love and support Ireland, your wet dream would result in the total isolation of Britain..... and why would Ireland have any interest in taking over poor and bankrupt N.I. it will come begging to unite soon anyway.

Scotland and Wales aren't being oppressed by England, and there's no way the Scottish would choose to fight with force instead of diplomacy at first. While I do agree that Irish-Americans would support Ireland that doesn't mean the U.S as a whole automatically supports Ireland.
@@UnitedKingdomPlays I agree whole heartily with the America part but during the troubles we had Scots and Welsh people fighting for cause of independence. The oppression would be that we're not a free and sovereign nations. Northern Ireland weren't technically oppressed either. Just continuation of people wanting independence since the 1920s. the only major difference between Scotland and Ireland is Ireland did fight for it in more recent memories by the time of the 50s. Scotland easily could have done the same had Scottish independence ideals been more prevalent during ww1.
Given an opportunity as well many people would take it too to try fight for independence. UK war on Ireland would be such time, the UK war on Ireland would have many similar reactions as with the troubles and probably more so as it the nation of Ireland rather than a British controlled territory.
@@-._A2._- We'll have to agree to disagree then. I still think Scotland and Wales would try to get Independence Diplomatically first.
@@UnitedKingdomPlays fair enough i definitely agree that the Scottish parliament and Welsh assembly would. The people are a little more free to decide. But yeah we can always agree to disagree. Much respect!
P.S still enjoyed the video
w uk always would solo
Didn’t Ireland beat the UK in 1921?
@@Tomahawk.01 The British basically just accepted it and left. Not much of a fight was put up by them at all in 1921. (Also he's talking abt modern day anyway)
I agree even though I like Ireland more it wouldn’t stand a chance against the brits
@@UnitedKingdomPlays I mean that’s cause they lost. They were losing public support, like the USA did in vietnam
up heres called Donegal
So wrong. Surely someone would help Ireland. Just looked at Ukraine many nations helping them
Other countries are sending them Military and economic aid. Which I did include in this video with support countries. No country has officially joined the war on Ukraine's side and that's how it would be with Ireland too.
Not even nations. As shown by the troubles many Irish Americans have supported the IRA with weapons such as the Armalite
Yay thanks...
Ireland and uk do not have a good relationship
"The British and Irish Governments enjoy a strong partnership that supports reconciliation and prosperity for both countries. Britain is Ireland's closest neighbor and most important economic partner, in trade, investment and tourism. €1 billion of trade in goods and services flows across the Irish Sea every week."
The UK and Ireland in the modern day share a strong relationship and partnership.
Thought itd be 2 seconds🤑🤑
This is a joke what are the Irish going to throw at the English potatoes,besides this Briton has got over there problems with Ireland if any thing they would fight to get her.
Ireland has no airforce
Yes, Ireland has an air force called the Irish Air Corps, or An tAerchór in Irish. The Air Corps is a branch of the Defence Forces of Ireland and is headquartered at Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel, Dublin. The Air Corps's main goals are to support military operations and provide air support to other government agencies. The Air Corps operates a variety of aircraft, including fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, and works in conjunction with the Irish Army, Irish Naval Service, and Garda Síochána
Most of those planes are not able to fight there is only 8 planes that can operate as fighters or close air support Britain has more planes in northern Ireland than Ireland has aircraft
Britain is in NATO ireland isn't that's all I need to say
Ireland is in the EU (Article42) Britain is not. That's all I need to say.
Russia vs china all forms plisss 😅😅😅
ireland should join the uk and forget the past (: (jk) (not really)
You have no idea of the effect this would have on Irish America.... and all the friendly countries that love and support Ireland, your wet dream would result in the total isolation of Britain..... and why would Ireland have any interest in taking over poor and bankrupt N.I. it will come begging to unite soon anyway.
"Your wet dream" Is wild 💀
If you had watched the video you would of understood why the UK declared war on Ireland. I explained it in the story.
Oh yeah I forgot to put the stupid amount of dots....................
