Revision as of 13:26, April 11, 2007
I did a very quick clean up of this, no references as of yet, I'll hopefully add them in the next few days. It's worth noting though
-Scotland was never conquered by the romans -Ireland may call it the war of indepencence, but it's probably best described as a time of civil strife or something like that. There was no war as such. -the Treaty in '21 set up a free state, a republic wasn't declared till the 40s -Ireland still isn't called the Republic of Ireland. It's there, in the constitution that the name of the state is Ireland, or Eire in the Irish language. lil_cain 03.55, 10 March 2007 (GMT)
Ireland
Ok guys a few things. One england invaded in the 11th century (not the 17th). The war of independence was not a proper war but did lead England to pull out of the 26 counties keeping the 6 counties of ulster under british control which lead to the CIVIL WAR. Ireland is now the richest country in Europe and has the 4th strongest economy in the world. It's cheaper to buy an appartment in Manhatten than in Dublin .. it's a funny old world.
adest
I edited out the bit about the support bases for the various parties, as they were a: unreferenced, and b:simply wrong. If I get a chance I'll go back and add something correct with references and such, but better to leave it out until then.

Just wondering the reason for the revert? All the info reverted was true and non-controversial, apart perhaps for the country name. --Boreas 08:00, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
Better map needed
This entry could use a much better map -- the current one is quite small, and among other issues, does not show Belfast!

The War of Independence might not have been a large pitched-battle affair between two standing armies like the American version, but it was a concerted campaign of guerilla warfare, espionage and assassination carried out by the highly organised, popularly-supported IRA. (as distinct from the provisional Northern version). a time of civil strife doesn't cut it! stallthedigger 13:02, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
The recent edits on the history section are not even remotely historical. They aren't referenced either, so I'm removing them. Melanchthon 23:18, 29 March 2007, (GMT)
Agreed, go for it. Jennisuk 18:21, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
Why the revert?
What is the matter with you, TK? Why did you revert my edit? It is nonsensical to say that Ireland the island is referred to as 'the Republic of Ireland', then a few sentences later state that the island is divided between the Republic and Northern Ireland. User:Eternalpraise

No, because the initial statement is incorrect. Do you expect me to edit the article to make it agree with a nonsensical assertion? The island of Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are not synonymous.
