Northern Ireland  

Definición

  • When Ireland gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1921 after two years of violent “troubles,” six counties in the northern province of Ulster remained within the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland, with a population of around one and one-half million, was established to satisfy the demands of a Protestant Unionist minority in Ireland that wished to remain within the United Kingdom, but it included a sizeable Catholic and Irish nationalist minority composing one third of the population.
