Question description

Ethnic Conflict in Northern Ireland

English involvement in Ireland dates back to 1171, when English King, Henry II invaded the island to expand his empire. Since then, there have been varying degrees of political and cultural conflicts, especially between the desire for Irish independence and British rule. This tension has led to many violent clashes between the two groups. As in other global situations, what might be more accurately described as a political and economic conflict has become an ethnic conflict, with opposing groups unified around cultural and religious identities.
