The Northern Ireland conflict

Northern Ireland is known for the fights between Catholics and Protestants. The war has been going on for a long time and is still going on. The Catholics do not like the Protestants and visa versa. It started back many hundreds of years ago. In sixteenth centaury English Protestants took control of Ireland by taking land off Irish Catholics. When they took the land off Irish Catholics they give it to Protestants from England and …

…the state of Ireland. It helped the Protestants in a big way. They had more control of Ireland and stole more land off the Catholics. They only had a very small amount of land; the government was also run by the Protestants. 100 years after the battle of Boyne the British remained in control. Still the Catholics hated the fact that Ireland was being run by the British. The Catholics were still angry. They wanted revenge.
