The Republic of Ireland is a Independent sovereign nation. Northern Ireland is more complex in the views of Nationalist and the views of the Government of Irish Republic. "Northern Ireland is illegally gerrymandered territory occupied by the United Kingdom.
The Irish government has never relinquished it's claim on Northern Ireland and all citizens of Northern Ireland are considered citizens of the Republic of Ireland and are entitled to an Irish passport. The Republic of Ireland has enshrined in it's constitution as part of the peace process however that Northern Ireland will only reunified when the majority of people in Northern Ireland vote for it. The Government of the Republic of Ireland as part of the peace process has set up in conjunction with the Government of the United Kingdom many cross border groups and institutions."
Northern Ireland in the views of the Unionists and the Government of the United Kingdom. "Northern Ireland is an integral part of the United Kingdom and all Northern Irish people are citizens of the United Kingdom. As such all citizens of Northern Ireland are entitled to a United Kingdom passport.
As part of the peace process the Government of the United Kingdom have given the Northern Ireland autonomy on a number of matters such as policing and justice and law reform along with education among others and has set up in conjunction with the Government of the Irish Republic many cross border groups and institutions." Ok, the complications. The Nationalist claim that the majority of Island of Ireland are in favour of the Irish Republic, which is true, they also point out that Northern Ireland as constitute territory had never existed in the past and that it was set up by the Government of the United Kingdom so that it would have a Unionist or Protestant majority, which is also true.
They claim this makes Northern Ireland an illegally gerrymandered territory occupied by a foreign power. They claim that Ireland has struggled for independence for over 800 years and never willfully submitted to the influence of a foreign power. The Unionist claim that the majority of Northern Ireland support the continuation of the Union with the United Kingdom, which is true.
They also claim that Northern Ireland has been part of the United Kingdom in one form or another for over two hundred years since the act of Union between the United Kingdom and Ireland in 1801, which is also true. Further complications.
I want an independent northern Ireland like Scotland is voting for, so as we can control our own borders to many foreigners in belfast who are not wanted.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
