Which is not the case. The English actually united all of Ireland. Before
the English went there it was a collection of areas with no clear defined
borders, controlled by a local heavy. law as we know it was virtually
non-existent. Hence in Ireland you see the odd tower that the local heavy
used.
The main gripe of the IRA, etc goes back to the famine, when a few mainly
tyrannical people, owned most of the land and the British government, being
contemptuous towards the Irish, did sweet nothing to prevent around one
million dying with the population halved. The most disgusting episode in
British history, which has virtually been erased from British history books.
When it is mentioned, it is classed as a natural disaster and was
unavoidable. The reality is not one person need to have died.
The British government instigated land re-distribution after, although not
in mainland Britain. This re-distribution was carried on by the Irish Free
State, although abandoned with no real reason given in British controlled
Ulster on partition, has been a major success underpinning Ireland's
economic success. The Irish Land Commission was eventually closed down in
2001; job done.
