History of IRLANDA

The Celts arrived in Ireland sometime around 300 BC. and ruled the country for the next 1,000 years, leaving traces of art and culture that can still be found today. Christianity came to Ireland between the 3rd and 5th centuries. The Vikings ruled from the 18th century onwards until the country became part of the British kingdom in 1169. A long struggle for independence took place until 1922, after the War of Irish Independence, when the 26 southern counties of Ireland became independent from the United Kingdom and became the Irish Free State, and after 1948, the Republic of Ireland.

The six counties in the northeast known as Northern Ireland remained part of the United Kingdom but instability in the north began to show in the 1960s. For many years there were violent conflicts between those who proclaimed a united Ireland and those who wanted to remain part of the United Kingdom and who were known as "The Troubles". Irish governments sought a peaceful reunification of Ireland and were generally cooperative with the British government.
