Best Answer

The troubles in Northern Ireland related to politics, not religion as is often portrayed. When it is, they mention Catholics and Protestants. There is now a power-sharing agreement between representatives of the unionist/loyalist community, mostly Protestant, and the nationalist/republican community, mostly Catholic.

There has not been fighting between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

The treaty that ended that fighting created the Republic of Ireland in the south and Northern Ireland (still part of the United Kingdom) in the north. After that, the IRA (Irish Republican Army) used violent means to try to push the British forces out of Northern Ireland and reunite the entire island. However, the Republic of Ireland did not participate in that activity and did not fight the British in Northern Ireland.

Relations between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are very good.

What type of border separates Northern Ireland and Ireland?

The entire island was once known as just "Ireland" and was under British rule. In 1922, 26 of the 32 counties of Ireland fought from the Union to form its own country, as a result of the Irish War of Independence. This is now known as the "Republic of Ireland". The remaining 6 counties did not fight because the majority in these counties were unionist (i.e. were pro-British and wanted to still be part of Britain's rule) and this is now known as "Northern Ireland". Northern Ireland remains a part of the UK but is mostly self-governing. That's just a brief and general explaination.


Why did the troubles in Northern Ireland start?

Most Protestants want to remain WITH Britain and not become part of a united Ireland. Irish nationalists want to unite the country - hence the troubles. The division of Ireland into the overwhelmingly Roman Catholic republic and the north, which remained part of the renamed the 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland', dates from 1921. In that year Ireland was divided, following a vicious civil war. The most recent 'troubles' have been ongoing since 1969 (with breaks). Joncey
