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

Ireland is a relatively peaceful country. The troubles that were in Northern Ireland still result in some incidents, but they are not as significant as they once were, so Ireland could now be regarded as a peaceful country.
How many people have been killed in northern Ireland since 1969?
There has been 3650 people killed during the troubles and a large amount of people have been killed in incidents unrelated to the troubles. My guess would be in and around 5500 since 1969. There is at least 2 murders a week in Northern Ireland.
