if Henry the Eighth hadn't started this mess and Mary Queen of Scots hadn't gone over with settlers in the north (which is why they speak a more brogue) we wouldn't be in this mess todaybut you can't re-writehistory, so settle down and live together it's not worth dying for it's only worth living for!

Nice objective video on a touchy subject It's really sad and telling that I even need to say this Objective coverage of this subject is abnormal and deserves praise

“Divide and Conquer” that’s what the evil cabal of this worlds does to keep us engaged in continuous conflict and war… stop falling for it
Comment from : PaddyO

The issue gets more complicated as time goes on rather than less The more protestant/loyalist generations that are born in Ulster county further moves the North away from the South I understand totally that there are lots of people in the North who wants to remain a part of the UK because it's engrained into their culture and at this point, their blood, but I for one cannot for the life of my understand any nation that would WANT to be a part of the Kingdom The politics, culture, and economy of the South seems so much stronger and more welcoming in every sense that the UK

The title caption is Why is Ireland Divided? The reason is simple Lloyd George insisted on the Partition of Ireland during treaty negotiations with the IRA to satisfy Protestant Loyalist demands they be given a state of their own rather than be part of a country where they would be a religious small minority with no political clout But at the time only 2 of the most easterly counties in NI had Protestant majority but in order to make for a viable economic entity 4 other counties with RC majorities were drawn into the province to form NI From its inception RC civil rights were lacking in NI Elections in RC majority districts such as Londonderry were gerrymandered to guarantee Protestant control of the city council Jobs and entrance to certain university programs were denied RCs etc the rise of the civil rights movements in the USA caused people in RCs in NI to push for equal rights in NI initially this was met with extreme abuse by the gov of NI and police and things escalated from there - the rest is history The guarantee of a Protestant majority being insured in NI has not come to pass and now there is a slight RC majority in NI which given the demographics of elementary and secondary students is going to increase greatly within 15 years

What a wonderfully balanced take on the North
Comment from : Peter John

l grew up in NI in the 70sand 80's, lets not beat about the bush, it was Britains imperialist conquering ego that planted the seeds of discontent, Ireland was simply too valuable a commodity not to own, steal from and abuse
Comment from : Paul McKeivor

What a weird situation…I couldn’t even tell you the difference between a catholic and a Protestant…as an American, it is super weird to see a wall like that splitting a neighborhood I understand we have something like that at the southern border but this seems different…

"Complicated" is an understatement Imagine living near the border with so many different factions fighting for the different causes and beliefs Your literal neighbor could be an enemy, ally or potentially both

I'm Scots Irish American Correct me if I'm wrong So Ireland, which is mostly catholic, voted for independence The upper part of Ireland wanted to stay attached to the British Those in Northern Ireland are predominantly Protestant?

Comment from : Pat Branagh

Why would you say it is complicated? It is quite clear what the problem is and what the solution is British people planted here, to give the british invaders support, does not make them Irish or give them any legitimate claim to this country British people live in britain and Irish people live in Ireland Let anyone who wants to be british go home to britain
Comment from : M Ó B

Being Irish in those times , maybe even still must have not been easy brEspecially for those subjected to anti-Celtic sentiment and so on
Comment from : Mikhail Abu Nidal

To all the learned commenters, who I always aspire to join, re: Ireland's history, thank you, to whichever ancestor ultimately landed my husband's family on these shores The history is murky, and I feel for the people who traversed the ocean for a better life as both of my parent's ancestors also did

Pls stoo fighting brother against brother The rest of the world will take the country from under all of you
Comment from : TheVandalOne

Wrong about the Plantation of Ulster County Down, County Antrim, were not officially part of Plantation under the Crown A very Anti-British view of Northern Irelandbrbr Catholic discrimination, Protestant discrimination went both ways, depending if an area was mostly Catholic or mostly Protestant There is a lot of stereotyping, poverty occurred in Protestant areas in equal measure brbrMarxist Ideology used Religion as an easy divider for pro-Irish & Anti-British discourse to continuebrbrThe Troubles did not start in 1968 I'd say alot earlier with the Irish-Marxist Terrorist border Campaign of 1956 to 1962 And even further back to why B-Specials were formed in 1920 The Irish Civil War created a Carte Blanche Terror campaign to Murder Protestants in the predominantly Protestant Counties of Ulster The Marxists brought their Dirty War to Ulster

Interesting, fair and balanced report on this complicated situation As a Québécois having lived through our own independence movement, in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's I'm glad we did not experience such a high level of violence Even after the hotly contested 1995 referendum's lost by the nationalists, social climate remained quite cool

Comment from : w9ill

People can not live in PEACE while such inequality happens everyday on this planet It doesn't matter what country you're from it's all the same Inequality, unjust politics, greed always leads to problems How long its gonna take for the people in charge of this planet to wake the fuck up? You've got so little years to enjoy the life and all you do is fight and fight People hate each other and it's not hard to understand why When you get one side living in wealth and abundance the other side will always revolt If all of us had the same amount of money, there will be no wars, there will be peace and love UBI is the unswer for the prosper future When everyone receives universal basic income with or without work there will be life in peace ✌️ Wealthier countries should take care of the weaker ones Or our beautiful plant will become like Mars Peace and love is in our hands 😊

Been learning about the 16th and 17th century of European history recently and it just blows my mind how the religious wars of that era shaped Europe A division across an entire continent that runs so deep that 500 years later it still flares up in armed conflict, like it did during The Troubles
Comment from : Peter Timowreef

The troubles just like other wars were just useless innocent people both irish and British Catholic and Protestant were killed families were ruined and the wounds that it left will not be forgotten so easily
Comment from : John Ryan

Almost every SINGLE political problem and division can be traced back directly to the EVIL British Empire , The Division of India, the creation of Israel and Palestine issue , the divisions in Africa , The Irish issues The British deliberately created these issues with their ''divide and rule '' policy , I am for one ECSTATIC to see the UK destroying itself with Brexit , their Divide and Rule policy has now divided British society completely , the chickens are coming home to roost

Its not a simply 30 year old trouble It all started when the English started taking control of Ireland
Comment from : TokyoDrift786

I notice that, even in a fairly even handed documentary, the description of the "British" side is that of countering the efforts of the IRAbrNo mention, even here, of the death toll from actions by the Protestant side And the actions of the army occurred very much in the light of that media position The British media gave no clue to the soldiers going to serve in Ulster, that they might, just possibly, have been fighting the "wrong" enemy I lived through the media reporting of all this, and the reporting of the Protestant violence was almost non-existent No wonder the squaddies going to serve in Ulster tended to side with the Protestants and against the Catholics
