Ireland
Ireland.
Ireland is an island in the Atlantic Ocean, just west of Britain.
For much of its history, it has been an advantage to Ireland to be far from the mainland.
The Romans or the other early empires never conquered Ireland.
It was the remoteness of Ireland that helped preserve much of Christian and classical culture.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, wandering tribes destroyed much of what remained on the continent.
Finally, it was Ireland's turn to be invaded.
First, the Norsemen, or Vikings, attacked during the 800s and 900s.
Then, in the 1100s, the English invaded Ireland.
Since that time, there has always been an English presence in Ireland.
The conflict between the English and the Irish grew worse in the 1500s.
Then, the English became Protestant, and the Irish remained Catholic.
In the 1600s, Oliver Cromwell tried to make Ireland Protestant by driving out the Catholics and bringing in Protestant settlers.
In the centuries following, Irish Catholics had very few rights in their own country.
The Catholic Irish were not allowed to vote until 1829.
Since Irish Catholics were not allowed to own land, they were poor tenant farmers.
They paid rent to the English landlords.
The main food crop in the 1840s was potatoes.
When these became infected by blight, thousands of Irishmen starved.
Many others were evicted from their dwellings because they couldn't pay the rent.
Hundreds of thousands of Irish took ship for North America.
The Catholic Irish preferred to go to the United States because Canada was under British influence.
However, many Protestant Irish went to Canada.
The influence of the Irish on North American culture has been very great in many areas.
Prominent Irish Americans include Presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.
Meanwhile, in Ireland itself, a strong independence movement developed.
A rebellion against England in 1916 began a struggle that resulted in independence for most of Ireland.
Some Protestant areas in Northern Ireland preferred to stay with England.
Republican groups such as the Irish Republican Army wanted to liberate the North from British rule.
Nowadays, conflict between Protestants and Catholics is limited to these northern counties.
Constant attempts are being made to bring the conflict there to an end.
Meanwhile, the Irish Republic of Ayr has become prosperous again.
It can sell its agricultural products to the European Common Market.
Irish beer and whiskey are sold all over the world.
Ireland is also becoming known for its high-tech industries.
Because of this relative prosperity, the population is increasing again
after a century and a half of decline.
The Irish differ from other people because the vast majority of Irishmen
live away from their homeland.
However, this exodus from Ireland has helped to spread Irish music,
culture, and products around the world.
On St. Patrick's Day, March 17th, nearly everyone becomes Irish for the day.
Then there is a great party with Celtic music, Irish dancing, green beer, and the wearing of the green.
